"Around the world women are uniting in protest against the Iranian government by cutting their hair. Respect Women. A Global Symbol For Women's Revolution. Hair is seen as a symbol of the beauty of women. By chopping off hair it in public, women are showing that they don't care about society's beauty standards and won't let anything or anyone decide how they dress up, behave or live," she continued.
Urvashi concluded by saying, "Once women come together and consider one women's issue as an issue of the entire womankind, feminism will see a new vigour."
She then took to Instagram to express her displeasure and asked people to stop "bullying" her. However, People again trolled her because she compared her situation with that of Mahsa Amini - an Iranian girl who was arrested in Tehran on September 13 for dressing "inappropriately," and died three days later, while in custody.
Mahsa Amini's death sparked demonstrations and clashes with security forces where many lost their lives.
Coming back to Urvashi, she uploaded a video of her last week and wrote, "FIRST IN IRAN #MahsaAmini & NOW IN INDIA....it's happening with me they're bullying me as a Stalker ??? No one cares about me or support me."
