Manipuri Actress Soma Laishram Issues Official Statement After Acting Ban

Popular Manipuri actress Soma Laishram has strongly opposed the move, asserting that she had done nothing against her state.

She was recently barred from acting in films and attending public events by an Imphal-based organisation following her participation in a beauty pageant.

Taking to an Instagram post Soma Laishram said, “To all my fellow Manipuris I am extending my heartfelt gratitude and thankfulness to you all for standing by my side. Thank you for acknowledging my work and my little efforts that I ye put in for my people and my state. I feel very blessed.”

“And I am beyond happy and proud to see the kind of response that I am getting today. Let’s channel this energy for a better Manipur. It is the need of the hour. Let’s all come together and stand United for MANIPUR,” she added.
