Recently, Jasna has been at the receiving end of various criticisms and controversies after she was caught filming a video near the sanctum sanctorum in Guruvayur temple. In the latest, Jasna came on her social media to say that she has renounced her religion.

“Till now I was known as Jasna Salim. I have decided to give up my religion and would love to be known as a human. There is no point in wearing a hijab anymore.” Said Jasna.

The police had recently registered a case against Jasna Salim, who had filmed a video in Guruvayur temple in violation of the High Court order.
