TV actor gets fired from Emmerdale for racist posts.

TV actor gets fired for racist posts.

As a teenager, actor Shila shared Iqbal, 24, racist posts in social media.

Now five years later she gets fired for her youth sins.

On Wednesday, "Home to Farm" spectator Shila Iqbal, 24, who plays the role of Aiesha Richards in the long-haul, was told that her contract will not be renewed.

The reason is that it has now become known that she, as a 19-year-old student, repeatedly shared racist posts in social media and where the N-word has been used extensively, Mirror writes.

"As a consequence of the postings, Shila Iqbal has left her role as Aiesha Richards in Hem til gården", announces a spokesman for the TV series and continues:

"Production took the decision not to renew her contract as soon as these posts became known."

The message that Shila Iqbal is being fired from the series came just months after her role in the series had become permanent.
