Biography

Political Controversy

In November 2010 it was reported that she was going to appear in a political movie to demonstrate how Neda Agha Soltan was killed on the streets of Tehran in 2009.[2] Since this movie had been funded by the government of Iran her decision sparked a flood of negative emotions against her in Iran and abroad. This was followed by a successful attack on her Web site to replace her pictures with some photos of the very last moments of Neda Agha Soltan covered in blood. On the 11th of November, this was denied by Fars News Agency.
