Actress Ansiba Hassan rose to fame with her performance in Mohanlal's blockbuster Malayalam movie Drishyam. Recently, the television host made headlines after "her wedding photo" went viral on social media.
In the image, the actress is seen as a Hindu bride with a person named Murali Menon. It was shared on a Facebook group named Right Thinkers by a netizen, who called the Muslim- Hindu couple a role model and praised the secular marriage. However, the "inter-religious marriage" has apparently irked many, who started showering abuse on the actress online.

Earlier Ansiba had come under a concerted attack on social media for posting a photo. She was spammed with nasty comments after she posted her photo with kids at a Buddhist monastery. Her social media page got flooded with "I het u" and "I heat you" (I hate you) comments from hot-headed netizens, who could not even tolerate seeing the Muslim actress posing for photograph with followers of another religion. Following the cyber bullying, the actress was forced to remove the photo from her profile.
