Previously, she had mentioned that when she used to wear a tudung she would still be criticised by her fans and members of the public for the way she dressed and styled her tudung.

Last January, Emma made a decision to remove her “tudung” after she had been wearing one for the past five years.

That decision sparked a debate amongst her fans, with many of them reacting with hostility towards the actress’ decision.
