Dismissal | ITV star questions Emmerdale for sacking her over old tweets

Earlier this month, ITV confirmed that the Emmerdale actress Shila Iqbal, who played Aiesha Richards, was sacked from her role after a thread of historic racially offensive and homophobic tweets came to light – the BBC reported.

However, Iqbal has since stepped forward claiming that she shouldn’t have been sacked from her dream role but suspended instead.
