Mahira Khan
Renowned Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, known for her captivating performances in popular dramas and films, recently found herself at the center of an online controversy. This time, it wasn’t her acting that drew attention, but her unconventional walk on the runway during a fashion event.
A video of Mahira’s ramp walk quickly went viral on social media, sparking a wave of mixed reactions and harsh criticism from netizens.
Mahira Khan, celebrated for her roles in hit dramas like Shehr-e-Zaat, Wo Humsafar Tha, Bin Roye, and Bollywood’s Raees, has always been admired for her elegance and grace both on and off-screen.
However, her appearance on the ramp during this particular event seemed to surprise many, as her runway walk deviated from her usual poised demeanor. In the viral clip, Mahira is seen briskly walking down the runway in a form-fitting black bodycon dress.
Unlike the typical slow and graceful strides expected on the ramp, Mahira’s hurried pace and exaggerated movements stood out, leading many viewers to speculate whether it was a rehearsal or part of the actual show.
Social media platforms were quickly flooded with a variety of reactions. Some users expressed their disappointment, feeling that Mahira’s walk didn’t meet their expectations for someone of her stature.
Several users compared her walk to that of international supermodels, but not all in a positive light. One particularly harsh comment compared her to Gigi Hadid, saying, “This is the worst imitation of Gigi Hadid I’ve ever seen.” Another joked, “Looks like she just watched Kangana Ranaut’s Fashion and thought that’s how it’s done.”
The video even prompted some users to label her walk as a “ramp disaster,” while others remarked that “it looked like she was about to fall any moment.”
While Mahira’s walk certainly generated a lot of criticism, there were also a few defenders who pointed out that everyone can have an off day and that perhaps the walk wasn’t reflective of her usual grace.
Some speculated that the brisk pace and unusual style might have been intentional, designed to make a statement, or simply due to the pressures of walking in a live fashion show environment. However, these voices of support were largely overshadowed by the widespread critique.
Despite the online backlash, Mahira Khan remains one of Pakistan’s most beloved and respected actresses, known for her unique charm, talent, and versatility. Her ability to connect with audiences through her performances has earned her a loyal fan base over the years.
While this incident has shown that even icons like Mahira are not immune to the harsh judgment of social media, it also serves as a reminder that public figures often face intense scrutiny over their every move, whether on-screen or on the runway.
Ultimately, Mahira’s ramp walk may have sparked a social media firestorm, but it’s unlikely to tarnish her long-standing career.
The incident highlights the pressures faced by celebrities in the spotlight, where even small missteps can become major talking points in the digital age. However, given her track record and resilience, Mahira will undoubtedly continue to shine in her acting career, leaving this runway controversy behind.
