Islamabad \u2013 December 1 (Online): Pakistani social media influencer and women rights activist Kanwal Ahmed has called out superstar Mahira Khan for promoting toxic relationships on-screen.<\/p>\n

The entrepreneur highlighted the Raees actress\u2019 portrayal of ‘wronged woman’ on-screen, quoting the examples from her hit serials including Humsafar and the on-going drama, Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay.<\/p>\n

Turning to her Twitter on Sunday, the Soul Sisters founder called out the Bin Roye starlet for glorifying emotionally abusive relationships over the years.<\/p>\n

As a reference, she used Mahira\u2019s popular dialogue from Humsafar and wrote, \u201cMummy aap Kya keh rahi hain\u201d se \u201cAswad aap kya keh rahain hain\u201d ka suffer (pun fully intended). 10 years of promoting how to STAY \u201cpatiently\u201d in (violently) emotionally abusive marriages on the top drama channel with the highest ratings.”<\/p>\n

Later on Monday, the talk show host shared a scene from Mahira’s on-going drama, requesting her to ‘do better’ for Pakistan<\/p>\n

.”Also Mahira KNOWS and acknowledges the damage caused by regressive content that romanticizes abuse. Yet she repeatedly takes on roles that strengthen that same problematic narrative,” she continued. Kanwal added, “She\u2019s a great actress and an icon in our country. We want and expect much, much better from her.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
