Mahira Khan to share screen with Will Smith in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s next movie?
Mahira Khan, who starred in Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad, is rumored to be joining...
Mahira Khan come under fire for traveling to an awards ceremony as Pakistan was devastated by heavy flooding. A few Pakistani actors had made it clear that a portion of the money from the recent Hum Awards in Toronto were being donated. One of the celebrities that received criticism for attending the awards ceremony given the flood situation in Pakistan was Mahira Khan. The actor has now reacted to the “unkind criticism.”
Mahira responded on Twitter on Friday to a fan who had mockingly stated that if the star donated the outfits she wore to the event to the Pakistani flood victims, everything would be OK. Mahira responded that it was “never ok” for artists to do anything while appearing on the red carpet in a black gown inspired by a sari. The actor continued by saying that she would photograph herself helping the flood victims, but she warned that people would criticize her for “showing off performing charity.”
Its never ok for us – the artists of your country!
I have and will continue to do my part. If it makes you happy, I can take some pictures while at it. Oh but then it’ll be – showing off doing charity. The unkind commentary never ends. You do you. I will do me. ✌🏼 https://t.co/h6gNNeJIAj— Mahira Khan (@TheMahiraKhan) September 30, 2022
In response to Mahira’s tweet, some people defended celebrities for attending the awards, claiming they were merely “doing their jobs,” but others emphasised how the event might have been utilised to support and publicise rescue efforts as well as raise more money for Pakistan flood victims.
One tweet read, “I wish Hum TV had organised a show or a concert in Pakistan to raise funds awareness and solidarity for the flood victims instead of the annual awards show. Imagine all of Pakistanis artists collectively raising their voices for climate change and advocating for those impacted.”
Mahira upcoming picture, The Legend of Maula Jatt will debut in Pakistan on October 13. Along with others, it features Hamza Ali Abbasi, Fawad Khan, and Humaima Mallick. Neelofar alongside Fawad is another project Mahira has in the works.
