Talking about the struggle that she often faces while house hunting, Shireen said that despite being a non-smoker and non-drinker and an individual with no criminal records, she ends up getting judged on the basis of my profession. "Yes I'm an actor and I do not smoke or drink and I have no criminal records. So, how can they judge my character on the basis of my profession??"
"How ironic," she says pointing out that a city, which never sleeps and 'takes pride in itself on its cosmopolitan character, is divided on basis of religion, profession and marital status??' "I'm shocked to see that Mumbai which has given me so much that I don't stop praising about Mumbai by calling it Aamchi Mumbai still doesn't have a place for me and so many of us coming from out of town still struggling with identity crises," read an excerpt from Shireen's Facebook post.
