Ever since Mahira Khan wrote an ambiguous statement on her Twitter profile, the actress has been receiving various reactions from her fans and netizens.
Yesterday Mahira posted this tweet and raised a lot of questions as the audience could not understand whether she was addressing the Musharraf verdict or something else.
Yehi toh rona hai.. keh Allah ki laathi beawaaz hai. Awaaz aani chahiye laathi ki.

“It’s such a pity that Allah’s reckoning is silent. Impact of the reckoning should be heard.”
But since most of our celebrities have shared their opinions on Musharraf’s issue, people assumed she was speaking of the same.
However things got too controversial when a Twitter user outright accused Mahira of having ‘slept her way into the industry.’

Mahira then responded to the user in another tweet and rationally explained her sentiments, like any sophisticated individual would do.
Aap ki zehniat aap ke lafzon mein saaf nazar aati hai. Meri kamai halal ki hai, warna aap ko achay school bhejnay ka zima mein uthati! Jahan tak baat rahi 2 takay ki.. hum jaisi auretein apney aap par qeemat nahi lagati, na hi kisi aur insaan par 🙏🏼 https://t.co/BghSMGrgVC

“Your thinking is quite apparent in your words. I earn through legitimate means otherwise I would pay for your proper schooling. As far as being a low life is concerned, women like myself don’t masquerade with a price tag, neither do we impose one on others.”

“Madam, we will all present our reasons but what reason will you provide to the Almighty on the day of judgement? Addressing a pious person and on top of that a woman in this manner such a good person you are,” Humaima Malik lashed out at the user.

“It’s such a shame that people who pretend to be so pure and clean go out giving advice with this kind of language. Hats off to your standards! I pray that people have a clear thinking, exactly the way they have clarified their judgement of right and wrong.” She continued expressing her disappointment.
Actor Shaan also responded on the thread and added:
Zubaan or alfaaz dono sai ap ka mayaar nazar ata hai.. bohat sharm a rahee hai apko Pakistani kehtay huway .. Mahira Khan is a Pakistani ⭐️ she has earned respect through her work .. learn to live with that #pakistanalwaysfirst

“Your words reflect what your standards are, it feels disrespectful to call you a Pakistani. Mahira Khan is a Pakistani. She has earned respect though her work. Learn to live with that.”
