Aryana Sayeed, an Afghan television personality and singer had to burn a dress after being bitterly criticised for wearing it to a Paris concert in May and uploading a video on the social media.
The controversial tight dress, sparked condemnation with religious figures and members of the public calling it against Afghan culture and non-Islamic.
"If you think that the only problem in Afghanistan is this dress, I will set this on fire today because of you... It should be noted that the reason for this action of mine is not the pressure of those who still live in dark ages, but to raise further awareness of important issues within our society," she told her social media followers.
Aryana is well known in Afghanistan as a singer, songwriter who sings pop, hip-hop and Afghan songs. She's also a television personality, being the judge on the Afghan version of The Voice talent show in Kabul.
