Mahira Khan trolled for smoking with Ranbir Kapoor, finds support in Ali Zafar and fans

[UN talkz]

Pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan bonding over a smoke in New York hit the internet a few hours ago, and netizens haven't been able to keep calm since. There is a lot of conjecture about Ranbir and Mahira's supposed secret romance, with some Twitteratti claiming to have spotted a love bite on Mahira's back.

Not just gossipmongers, the picture has also attracted the attention of trolls. A lot of hate posts have been directed at Mahira for smoking and wearing a halter dress. One commenter even asked how Mahira could "do this", being a mother. For the uninitiated, Mahira is a single mother and has a son, Azlaan, who was born in 2014.

However, fans have also come out in support of her, maintaining that it is her life and that she has the freedom to smoke and wear what she wants.

Meanwhile, Pakistani actor Ali Zafar has defended Mahira's decision in an Instagram post. "Every woman has the right to make her own choices in life (as long as she's not hurting anyone else) just like we men do," one part of it read.

Parineeti Chopra, Varun Dhawan support Mahira Khan over trolling

Mumbai: Actor Parineeti Chopra and Varun Dhawan today said it was unfair to troll Pakistani actor Mahira Khan after her pictures, where she is seen smoking with Ranbir Kapoor, landed online.

In the photos, the Raees star is seen in a white backless dress, smoking with actor Ranbir Kapoor in New York.

The actor was trolled on social media and was also at the receiving end of slut-shaming.

When asked about her reaction, Parineeti told reporters, "I'll just say one line. It's a little unfair. Everybody knows it's unfair and it'll stop. Today, because of social media, everything becomes too big a deal."

The actor was speaking at the trailer launch of Golmaal Again.

Varun also came out in support of Mahira.

"Shame on them for shaming her," Varun said in an interview while responding to the story.

Pakistani star Ali Zafar also took to Instagram and wrote, "What has happened to us? Have we lost all sense of sensibility?

"Must we choose gossip, intrigue and the self-appointed right of judgement over restrain, grace, tolerance and compassion?"

Continuing with the letter, the actor wrote, "Every woman has the right to make her own choices in life (as long as she's not hurting anyone else) just like we men do.
"How we react defines our own character. Choose wisely for we all shall be judged."

They are not doing this as a part of any show. I doubt they even knew they were being photographed. I personally don't smoke and hate it but that doesn't give me any right to preach other adults what to do.

Except I don't publicly flaunt it , in my case social media.I hate it but the addiction gets the better of me every time.Tryna quit though and iA one day I will.

I was just messing. I'm a smoker too and haven't even thought of quitting till now. I've heard if you delay your first cigarette of the day by an hour every day it really helps in quitting.

In my case the good thing is I'm only 22 and have already started thinking about quitting it forever.It messes up with your body man , I'm sure you would know.

 

[vagabond007ti]

So they stopped being human being once they are actor? They don't have any personal life?

Is that during the shooting of the new Sanjay Dutt biopic movie?

 

[Syed1]

Depends on the company you keep. A close friend of mine has been smoking since 18 and on his 25th birthday he quit cold turkey. He kept that going for 2-3 months and seemed to be over his habit but unfortunately all the people he chilled with were smokers and one fine day he took a puff and before you know it he was back on the smoke train.

 

[troodon]

Will the Hindu Yuva Vahini leader go and slap Ranbir too?

 

[cricketjoshila]

If they are "dating" why is it is of concern to anyone else?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Try Nicotex. It works.

Yes if they stop being beacon of morality and someone to look upto for the general public then I'm perfectly fine with their supposed 'lifestyle'

Yeah a lot of my friends are like that.Thankfully moving to a different city after a fortnight.

Will the Hindu Yuva Vahini leader go and slap Ranbir too?

They should slap him for sporting that ridiculous hairstyle alone.

Try Nicotex. It works.

I was thinking more along the lines of strong willpower and stuff.of course nicotex is always the last option.

Hey [MENTION=76058]cricketjoshila[/MENTION] dada I know its off topic and all but since we are talking about bwd , what are your thoughts on Sanjay Lila Bhansali's next controversial film Padmavati?

 

[Major]

I find this topic interesting.

Female smoking has always been a taboo in pakistan. I dont like taboos, but looking at the cigarette problems that exist in pakistan, shamming a female for smoming i dont consider it bad.

In someway its good. In a country like pakistan its easy to get cigarettes, there is totally no control over it. Female smoking is not a norm yet due to this taboo.

I could only wosh if male smoking was also frowned upon aswell

 

[troodon]

From the picture below, it is obvious they are not secretly having an affair. They are smoking for sure. But probably during the shooting break.

No slapping of Ranbir.

Shaming is not because of smoking..but because she is a female. Two different things. Why even shame people for smoking...legal product...their life...it as harmful as anything else...sugar..alcohol...fat....people are adults ...let them make their decisions.

I expect a queen to be a lot better than that.

Smokers in canada are looked down upon by the society.

The taboo of female smoking is what keeps half of the population away from smoking.

The situation in pakistan is really terrible right now. Every other guy is a smoker

Yes you could say their life and all that stuff, but if this habit stays in society, then tommarow my kods would end up being smokers which i wouldnt want.

I have friends who smoke heavily. I really hate their habit

If they mess up with the historical facts and try to insert unnecessery romantic scenes between Deepika and Ranvir then get ready to see the theatres burn.People wont sit silent this time around.

More than anything, it affects non-smokers too if we constantly are exposed to smokers.

nut jobs these trolls!

Ranbir can do better.

Really, he is like the biggest lulllu / timid / chavvah of bollywood I was thinking the opposite. He got nothing going for him besides money and superficial fame which stems from being a terrible terrible actor

Which Canada do you live in?
Because where I live and have lived all my life, it's not "looked down up on".

Go downtown and you'll see top executives smoking. Got nothing to do with this topic...

It is no one's business how Mahira is dressed unless you are her family member. Let Allah be the only judge. We can pass on opinion as she is a celebrity in the public eye but not judgement. There is a difference.

ranbhir looks so old now lol

 

[saadibaba]

They both look washed up like they haven't slept for days. Maybe thats what celebrities look like without makeup, lights and special effects. Mahira looks like an amateur smoker the way she is holding the cigarette unlike Ranbir. In any case, good luck to them.

Who is this Kapoor fellow and why is she hanging out with him? Why can't she smoke with Adnan Malik like God intended, on the Sadqay Tumharay set?

Internet is filled with trolls, the life of celebrities has become 100 times more difficult than before having said that the money they earn and lifestyle they have has also increased so it's a catch 22.. TBH you can't control people on internet just gotta learn to live with it if you are a celebrity..

If Mahira was Hindu and Ranbir Muslim then Indians and posters here would be crying about Love Jihad.... That's the double standard... These people burn women for dating muslim guys but they are happy when opposite happens (or doesn't in this case)...

 

[Adil_94]

@Jonilnsafian that mentality works both ways. same guys wouldnt be criticising a Muslim guy if he was wearing a vest and smoking with a hindu or sikh girl in public. Most probably would be getting pats on the back.

And the same moral police ogle bollywood n hollywood actresses.

so many hypocrites ive seen online saying mahira isnt a muslim anymore she has disgraced the nation she is defaming muslims and islam. she is following the west even though half of these people have john cena or cristiano ronaldo in their twitter bios.

because she is Pakistani female and Muslim she has to conform to some hypocritical moral standard.

Well Mahira should think that she is playing into the misogyny of these Hindu nationalists by going to India... Who cry about Love Jihad for Hindu women and Pakistani male actors but love that Mahira Khan is there.... Don't think any pakistani feminist would work in India after that... Because she will realize the whole context of why they are letting her work there but not Fawad Khan is chauvinist....

I can't seem to find it now. I should have saved it when I first saw it. Their wedding night was on the day the pics were released and they recreated the pic in the OP. It was epic

[MENTION=137723]JoniInsafian[/MENTION] she wasnt in India she was in NY chillin with this indian guy. and it happened a few months ago now. the fact u are bragging about indian women wanting pakistani men makes me think the concern over indian male misogny is just for nationalistic point scoring as is common on issues like this.

male insecurity and possessiveness of women is an issue on both sides of the border. but in this regard india does fare better there are plenty of hindu women who are openly married to muslim men.

but in pakistan this would be received with a fatwa and being forced to go into exile if u were a muslim woman married or in a relationship with a non muslim man.

It's on the set of a Bollywood movie apparently....

It doesn't matter what happens on Pakistani side because no Indian actors are coming to Pakistan... So you should leave Pakistan out of this.... Pakistan didn't invent Love Jihad and crap like that, Hindus did....

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if Pakistani actresses go to India in a context of harmony.... But when these guys say the stuff they do about Love Jihad and Pakistani male actors, then if they go, they can't call themselves feminists after that...

Also I didn't say Hindu women prefer Pakistani men.... I said that the reason they cry about love Jihad is because they feel threatened and have an inferiority complex... That if these guys marry our women then who are we going to marry.... That's in a wider context where because of misoginy there are 10 million missing female babies in India... So obviously these are men who feel like they should own women and not let them marry non-Hindus or they won't have anyone left for themseles... Nowhere I said this is a good mentality, in fact it should be condemned... But when people like Mahira Khan play into this mentality then they should be ashamed...

Its her life, and she can do as she pleases, but I'm of the firm opinion that our artistes should not venture across the border. We've seen on this forum just how much disdain many Indians have for us, and those of us who have the misfortune of working with them get to experience it offline too. Perhaps the money is better for these artistes across the Durand Line, but I get the feeling they would do just fine financially if they were to work exclusively in Pakistan too. Maybe its the desire for more exposure, or to get to work in a more stable, professional industry, but if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't ever go to a country where much of the populace has a dim view of me and mine.

Yes they just drone innocents in Pak,also I see your posts across the thread,all I can tell you is

1.Most Khans are married to Hindu women and hardly any poster cries about love jihad
2.Love Jihad a concept coined by BJP ,doesn't include Pakistani men,but Indian Muslims men,yes its stupid but it has nothing to do with Pakistanis.

I'm not basing my opinion on just this forum or social networking sites alone. At school and work, I got to study and work alongside many Indians, and the number of bad experiences I've been at the receiving end of from them far outweigh any I've had from Americans, in spite of the fact that Americans I've worked with vastly outnumber Indians.

Americans with a bias against Muslims usually can't tell me apart from, say, a Moroccan. With Indians, its more focused. Also that bias doesn't manifest itself in the sort of disdain and petty remarks I've received from Indians.

But your opinion is based on Indians abroad? What if some Pakistani has good experience with Indians abroad and bases his opinion on that and Indians in India end up being other way?

The problem with this is the sample ,working in America and meeting Indians there or who have come there, 1.3 billion people have just been generalized,half of whom wouldn't know Pak.

And yes American bias is against Muslims not denying any of that.

Well, Indians abroad and the ones here on PP are the only ones I can conceivably base my opinion on, since they are the only ones I have and continue to encounter. The sample size being small is just the nature of the beast.

Anyhow, I'll go back to not posting anything of a political nature. I broke that vow in a moment of weakness.

No didn't mean it that way you can post what you want,just wanted to know what your opinion was based upon,but I can see where you coming from, I would probably hate working under a Pakistani boss but my dad and wife both have a Pakistani boss.

Its her life, and she can do as she pleases, but I'm of the firm opinion that our artistes should not venture across the border. We've seen on this forum just how much disdain many Indians have for us, and those of us who have the misfortune of working with them get to experience it offline too. Perhaps the money is better for these artistes across the Durand Line, but I get the feeling they would do just fine financially if they were to work exclusively in Pakistan too. Maybe its the desire for more exposure, or to get to work in a more stable, professional industry, but if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't ever go to a country where much of the populace has a dim view of me and mine.

Agree with this post.
Get out of our country.And she isn't even good looking fgs

That will only be fair for the Pakistani artists if Indian movies are completely banned from Pakistani screens and televisions, which doesn't seem likely to happen in the near future.

On a side note I loved Fawad Khan in Ae Dil hai Muslim. He was so good in that. I hope they continue showing more Fawad in Bollywood.. All his movies so far have done well. He's a very good actor. I loved him in Kapoor and sons too. I don't mind seeing more Pakistani actors in Bollywood at all. I loved Mahira in Raees too. I didn't think she was bad in that.

 

[Snak3eye5]

On another side note I don't think Indian music/movie industry has any serious hatred or dislike for Pakistani actors/singers. if they did they would not be signing them for music albums and Bollywood movies to begin with since the last decade. Why would they keep having Adnan Sami and Atif aslam sing in Indian industry or have Mahira and Fawad act in Bollywood movies if they already have prejudice/hatred against them ? Please someone explain that one to me ??The Indian movie/music industry is taking the stance of the Indian govt to handover some bad guys which isn't representative of every single person from Pakistan. Once things cool down I'm sure things will be back to normal. I've already read somewhere that Mahira and Fawad already have signed 3-4 Bollywood movies coming out next year...

If Mahira was Hindu and Ranbir Muslim then Indians and posters here would be crying about Love Jihad.... That's the double standard... These people burn women for dating muslim guys but they are happy when opposite happens (or doesn't in this case)...

Like when Sharmila Tagore married Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi? Or SRK and Arbaaz Khan's wives being non Muslims? How about Saif Ali Khan marrying Kareena Kapoor?

Our film industry is trash and low quality. Bollywood these days is garbage too but the chance that they make a half decent movie is still higher than the chance we do. Most Pakistani actors and actresses don't know what it's like to actually be in a good movie.

I guess now Pakistanis will stop poking Indians with sania bhabi and damaad jokes....

Indians are mostly good natured and helpful in my experience but their is a small minority of undesirables just like with any group. I feel Pakistani and Indian artists should be free to work across the border if they so desire. If we are to ever mend our relationship and become if not friends than tolerant neighbors than artists, sportsmen and academics would be the ones paving the way for such developments. That is why, the extremist wings on both sides have a special kind of hatred for artists from the across the border because they know that more of this will open the minds of the general public to be finally able to break decades worth of propaganda disguised as nationalism and patriotism.

BTW, every discussion is in a way political. Like Thomas Mann said "Everything is Politics"

 

[CricketCartoons]

But your opinion is based on Indians abroad? What if some Pakistani has good experience with Indians abroad and bases his opinion on that and Indians in India end up being other way?

The problem with this is the sample ,working in America and meeting Indians there or who have come there, 1.3 billion people have just been generalized,half of whom wouldn't know Pak.

And yes American bias is against Muslims not denying any of that.

I think you are arguing just for the sake of it. There are indians who have no hatred for pakistanis, but they are a minority. It is generally true that indians hate pakistanis ( i expect it is the same the other way, but don't have any experiences to base this assumption on).
