Mahira Khan showed the world how to be a patriot the right way. In her recent tweet, the Raees actress proved that you don’t need to be intolerant to be a patriot.
Pakistan is proud of its’ celebrities keeping their cool and posting messages of awareness and peace throughout the Indo-Pak conflict.
On the contrary, Bollywood spared no expense in hate-mongering and cashing in on the conflict. Many famous Bollywood stars kept making ridiculous statements for their five minutes of fame.
Pakistani celebrities are mature enough to call out a hatemonger even if they’re one of their own. This was evident when the Punjab Minister of Culture Fayyaz Chohan made hateful comments about the Hindu community recently.
Mahira Khan Sets a Great Example
Mahira Khan was the one that won us over with her love for the white in Pakistan’s flag.

Mahira just said it straight. We should be tolerant of all.
Mahira Khan’s one line said it all. You don’t have to make a spectacle and be hateful about a particular community so that you can be a patriot (that’s actually xenophobia).

She was amongst the many people who called for the Minister to be sacked. Prime Minister Imran Khan took notice of those vile remarks and had the provincial Culture Minister removed soon after.
