Punjab Nahi Jaungi actor, Mehwish Hayat, appeared on Vasay Chaudhry’s late-night show, Ghabrana Mana Hae and had quite a rather encounter with the host. The actress stopped Vasay from body shaming another fellow actor, Ahmed Ali Butt. Instead of laughing at the joke, Mehwish pointed out that such behaviour will only promote this toxic culture.
Host Vasay Chaudhry suddenly became very uncomfortable and tried to defend himself mindlessly. However, Mehwish made sure that she establishes her stance in a strong manner. The girl completely won our hearts with her unapologetic behaviour.
Here’s a video of the complete conversation between Mehwish and Vasay.
What actually happened?
Mehwish and Vasay were having a casual banter about Ahmed Ali Butt sitting on a horse. The host of the show tried converting the conversation into a casual joke when he was suddenly stopped by Mehwish. Vasay was quite taken aback by the actor’s response because he expected that Mehwish will support him.

But the actress clarified that although all three of them share a great camaraderie, this does not mean that we should embarrass someone about their weight. She correctly identified that such conversations will set a wrong precedence.
The lady has proven that she is a true icon. Not only does she discourage such behaviour but would not even allow others to promote this culture.
When will Pakistani media understand body-shaming?
Unfortunately, Vasay’s response showed that even today we do not understand the repercussions of body shaming. Rather than apologizing for his behaviour, Vasay became defensive. He thought it is okay to laugh at somebody’s weight if one shares a good equation.

What we fail to learn is that whether you body shame a stranger or your close ones, both acts are equally wrong and should be discouraged. It does not only shatter the confidence of another person but may impact his/her mental health too.
We wish more people like Mehwish Hayat speak up and put an end to such practices.
