Loose Women star Saira Khan ‘doesn’t blame the girl’
Alongside a clip sporting a bikini, Saira penned the story in a lengthy caption. She explained: “My daughter came home from school the other day saying that a girl had Googled me and found photos in a magazine where I had done a shoot showing off my body and as a result called me a ‘PORN STAR’.
“I have to also share that this girl is a Muslim. She took two days off school to celebrate EID. No doubt her family fasted and prayed to God and she probably prays at home – reciting the words of the holy Quran. My daughter is 13 years old and goes to an all-girls school. The rumour spread by this girl has upset her.
I do not blame this girl for saying what she has, I blame her parents.
“I do not blame this girl for saying what she has, I blame her parents. Children only act out what they see and hear at home –‘’‘’‘’‘’
