A photo on actress Maria Farida’s Instagram account riled up her fans that she had to take time out from her vacation in Krabi, Thailand to clear the air.
The offending photo, of a selection Maria’s bikinis, prompted many of her Instagram followers to question her morals and to call her un-Islamic.
Maria told The Star Online that the post should never have been an issue, as it was “just of a few bikinis spread out on a bed, and not of me wearing them.”
“It is just a type of swimwear displayed on a bed. They (the followers) were getting angry and reacting like I wore the bikinis and posted them on my Instagram,” she told mStar, The Star Online’s Malay portal.
“It is not like they have not seen bikinis before. And I never asked anyone to view the pictures I post.
“This just shows their ‘dirty-mind’ when it comes to the item of clothing. What they said does not make any sense,” she added.
Maria’s personal assistants have since deleted all the negative comments from the post, ather request.
