Renowned Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has recently come under social media scrutiny after sharing vacation photos from Italy on her Instagram account. This incident marks another instance where a Pakistani celebrity faces criticism for their attire on social media.
Khan is currently in Italy filming her Netflix series, “Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo.” She posted several images on Instagram, captioned, “Constant total amazement,” highlighting the picturesque beauty of Puglia and breathtaking sunset views. Among the photos, she wore a butter-yellow Italian silk dress, which drew disapproval from many fans.
Critics took to the comments, accusing Khan of not adhering to traditional “Muslim values” and promoting “Western culture.” One user remarked, “I have no objection to Mahira Khan wearing such clothes, but she should not claim in interviews that her grandmother and mother never allowed her to wear sleeveless outfits.”
Pakistani actresses frequently endure harsh criticism on social media for wearing bold or revealing attire. For instance, in January 2024, Khan faced significant backlash after attending an event in Saudi Arabia wearing a sleeveless black dress with a deep neckline, which many fans deemed inappropriate for the cultural setting.
