Renowned Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat took to Twitter to clear the air about a leaked Kashmir video that triggered a social media uproar.
In the video, despite repeated requests from the reporter, the ‘Na Maloom Afraad’ star refused to speak on the ongoing Kashmir issue, saying that “mana kar diya hai”.

Of course, the fans did not hold back and lashed out at the actress for being inconsiderate, however, the ‘Load Wedding’ star tweeted out explaining that her PR did not consider the charity event to be an appropriate place to discuss political matters.
Mehwish then assured fans that she has major plans for the simmering issue.
The leaked video is being taken out of context. I’ve been the most vocal on #Kashmir issue globally & will continue to do so. I have big plans for next steps. This was a charity event & was requested by the PR not to be political ¬ distract from the orphans I was there to help
