The” Punjab nahi jaungi” star, Mehwish Hayat posted a message calling for Pakistanis to embody the ideals of our forebears, but instead of focusing on her message, people appeared more interested in the color of her bra.
“The Quaid said, “It is only with united effort and faith in our destiny that we shall be able to translate the Pakistan of our dreams into reality.” Hoisting the flag is not enough, if we really respect this country, we need to embody the ideals of our forefathers. Happy Independence Day,” she wrote on Instagram.

“Literally sickened seeing some of the comments under this post,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “The perverts debating the color of my bra just shows how sick and petty their minds are. Black, grey or green, it’s none of your effing business! for gods sake grow up-No wonder the society is in the mess that it is!”
Shortly after her first story, she then posted a second story saying, “I would suggest that there are much bigger issues that need addressing. Only if this energy could be invested in better, more worthwhile pursuits!”. She urges her fans to focus on addressing some important issues rather than the color of her bra.

Though the picture was appropriate for many users but some find it ‘vulgar’. Some commented “smjh to gaya ho hina” , pointing on her bra. Hina Altaf did not responded to any of the trolls and she deleted her post after the backlash.
In our opinion, On all the celebrity Independence Day posts Actresses were actually trying to show their love for Pakistan by wishing their fans and asking them to love and protect their country. But instead of focusing on their message, they were more interested in what they were wearing.
It’s now time we take our responsibility to use social media platforms to raise awareness about important subjects not discussing what celebrities are wearing. It’s their choice to wear what they want to not ours
