Several social media users, including actors Farhan Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui, have taken to Twitter to call out Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Dr Afnan Ullah Khan for his derogatory and “misogynistic” remarks against ace actor Mahira Khan and renowned satirist Anwar Maqsood.
The insulting remarks came a day after the Humsafar starlet revealed her support of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan during an event organised by the Arts Council of Pakistan in Karachi on Sunday.
While discussing politics, Maqsood quizzed Mahira about which political party she supported. The starlet took the mic and said: “There was a film released recently.”
“You support the movie?” Maqsood asked.
After another moment of silence, Mahira said: “Mae pathaan ki tarf hun [I side with pathaan].”
This statement seemed to have earned Mahira the ire of Dr Afnan who took to the microblogging platform to condemn her and the host.
The senator tweeted: “Mahira Khan has mental health problems and Anwar Maqsood is drunk at this stage of his life. Both these shameless characters are cursed by the public. Books can be written on Mahira Khan’s character. She also flatters Indian actors for money. And Anwar Maqsood is a cursed character full of prejudice.”
