Renowned actress Yumna Zaidi recently embarked on a spiritual journey to Karbala, Iraq, to observe the holy period of Muharram. This pilgrimage holds deep significance within the Islamic community, marking the 10th day of Muharram, known as Ashura, which commemorates the tragic Battle of Karbala.
The Battle of Karbala is a poignant event in Islamic history, witnessing the martyrdom of Imam Hussain and his loyal followers. The women and children were taken captive during this tragic episode. The sacrifice made by Imam Hussain at Karbala continues to be a cornerstone of Muslim beliefs and customs, deeply influencing their practices even today.
Zaidi spent the initial days of Muharram in Karbala, immersing herself in the solemnity of the occasion. Despite being a private person, Zaidi’s mother shared several pictures that captured moments of their devotion and reverence during this spiritual journey.
On the professional front, Zaidi is gearing up for her debut on the silver screen with the film Nayab. In this upcoming project, she will be portraying the role of a cricketer, a character that required her to delve into the world of cricket and understand its complexities. However, despite her busy schedule, Zaidi took time out to pay her respects and observe Muharram in Karbala, demonstrating her deep-rooted faith and commitment to her religious beliefs.
