Actor Mashal Khan’s dance video has been doing the rounds on social media. The Qissa Meherbano Ka diva can be seen grooving to a western song with her make-up artist in between her shoot’s break.
Netizens are praising the Thora Sa Haq star’s dancing prowess in the video.
On the work front, Mashal can be seen currently in Hum TV’s Parizad opposite Ahmad Ali Akbar.
Mashal Khan recently reacted to the news of two dogs being sentenced to death in Karachi on her Instagram handle. Actor and writer Yasir Hussain was quick to endorse Mashal’s stance by resharing her post with the caption, “@mashalkh bilkul sahi kaha apne”. This re-shared post was further encouraged by the Khaani actor, Feroze Khan.
Ahista Ahista actor Adnan Siddiqui on Sunday also spoke against the decision to euthanise two German Shepherds in an Instagram post.
“I am deliberately not sharing the picture of the dogs who are to be euthanised to not hurt the sentiments of the family and animal lovers.” His statement read: “A very inhuman thing to euthanize dogs for mauling. The damage of the attack is three pronged; on the gentleman who was injured, the family that lost their pets and the dogs that were put to sleep.”
The two German Shepherds that attacked a lawyer in Karachi last month will be “euthanized”, according to a compromise agreement between the dogs’ owner and the victim.
Activists have termed the agreement between Humayun Khan and Advocate Mirza Akhtar Ali as preposterous.
Mashal Khan has reacted to the news of two dogs being sentenced to death in Karachi. The Thora Sa Haq actress took to her Instagram stories to post her stance on the matter by writing, “In a country where rapists, murderess and pedophiles roam free, two dogs are given the death sentence for their owner’s negligence”.

Khan’s dogs attacked the advocate when he was out on a morning walk. The CCTV footage of the incident showed the two dogs attacking the lawyer as he helplessly attempted to defend himself.
On the work front, Mashal will be seen next in Qissa Meherbano ka opposite Ahsan Khan.
Nauman Ejaz is amongst the finest actors of all time, he recently walked the ramp with his eldest son Zaviyar, who impressed the audience with his confidence and style.
Zaviyar is set to debut alongside Mawra Hocane and Ahsan Khan in an upcoming project, which is tentatively titled as Qissa Meherbano ka. The team is currently shooting their first spell in Islamabad. The drama also stars Mashal Khan in a pivotal role.
Mawra also gave us a sneak peek of the drama’s shoot on her Instagram account.
Written by Fakhra Jabeen the drama is being directed by Iqbal Hussain and will go on air on HUM TV later this year.
Mashal Khan has requested people to stop pulling her into Ali Ansari and Saboor Aly’s engagement, which took place a few days back.
Soon after the couple announced the news, people start sharing clips of Aamir Liaquat’s Jeeway Pakistan where Liaquat was teasing Ali with Mashal’s name. Later, netizens also shared old pictures of Mashal and Ali making memes on them and trolling them.
While Ali and Saboor continued to ignore them, Mashal has stood up and requested fans to stop dragging her into the entire situation.
“It is so sad that a moment which is supposed to be of so much happiness for a couple has been turned into idle gossip,” said Khan. “It has come to my knowledge that several attempts are being made to pull me into Ali Ansari and Saboor Aly’s engagement announcement.”
Congratulating the newly engaged couple, Mashal said: “Let’s not try to ruin someone’s moment, shall we?”
Meanwhile, Ali recently shared an emotional photo with Saboor from their engagement ceremony in which both him and Saboor were teary-eyed.
Saboor having lost her mother and her fiancée having lost his father were emotional about their absence in the lives’ major event.
“This picture is worth more than a thousand words. The tears falling down her face told me how much she was missing her mother, and deep down in my heart I was missing my father,” he wrote.
“As much as we wished they were with us to be part of and share our happiness, we both know they are in a better place smiling from up above and sending down their blessings.
“For everyone out there, value, respect and spend time with your loved ones. Here is to new beginnings and all kinds of emotions. I got you,” he wrote.
Following the post, Saboor commented saying how her late mother would have been very happy had she been here while expressing her gratitude towards Ali.
“My mother would have been very happy for me today, I am so happy to have found a companion like you. Thankyou for everything,” she commented.
Just when we breathed a sigh of relief after it emerged that Islamabad Zoo’s lone elephant Kavaan will soon head to Cambodia, where he will retire at an animal sanctuary, videos and pictures of a brown bear in dreadful conditions at the Karachi Zoo have sparked furor and outrage on social media. Celebrities including Ushna Shah, Armeena Khan and Mashal Khan expressed their distress over the condition of the bear and urged authorities to shut down the zoo.
In a message penned in Urdu, Ushna said that zoo culture should be completely eliminated and that citizens should actively campaign for them to be shut down.
“If you like looking at animals, go observe them in their natural habitat. When you come and look at them in zoos, you add to their agony”, said the actor.
“Raise your voice for those who can’t speak,” she added.
Armeena urged her followers to help the brown bear or else he would die.
Mashal Khan said that she is “sick to my stomach after learning of this poor baby in Karachi zoo, being jailed without food, water, health care”. She asked her followers to raise their voice for the bear and help end her ordeal.
Later, the actor shared that she and her friends are filing a Constitutional Petition in the Sindh High Court to rescue the baby bear and have her transferred to Skardu where she can be reunited with her family.
Meanwhile, Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) Administrator Dr Iftikhar Ali Shallwani slammed the claims and said that the bear is “hale and hearty” at the zoo. Sharing a video of the bear playing in his enclosure as well as a report on its condition, Dr Shallwani said: “The KMC is trying it’s best to give natural habitat to the animals at Karachi Zoo.”
However, reports have suggested that all is not well as the administrator has claimed. According to a senior Sindh Wildlife Department (SWD) official, the bear is not used to living in Karachi’s hot weather conditions, especially during this time of the year when it needs to hibernate in freezing temperature.
Another SWD official said that Karachi Zoo’s management was responsible for the bear’s dreadful condition. He said that the animal does not belong in the zoo and that she needed to be kept in an air-conditioned room, in darkness.
After the pictures of the bear went viral on social media, a picture of a malnourished and underfed lion was also widely circulated with people criticising the Karachi Zoo administration for mistreating animals.
However, it later emerged that the picture of the lion was not from Karachi Zoo.
Last week Feroze Khan had also posted pictures of Karachi Zoo’s dilapidated conditions and had questioned where his taxes were going.
Mashal Khan, popular for her roles in Suno Chanda and Thora Sa Haq, lashed out on a couple on social media for using a lion cub as a prop.
In a social media post, the actor remarked that she was disgusted by the actions of the couple.
“They do not exist to provide entertainment for sick, mentally inferior people like those in this picture,” Mashal commented.
In the next post, she highlighted how the lion cub looks agitated and slammed the groom for smiling despite the fact that the lion cub is feeling irritated.
The actor then appealed to her followers not to keep lions as pets. She explained how keeping them in captivity causes the animals great stress and affects their mental health which can also be dangerous for their owners.
Mashal is a vocal advocate of animal rights and has often voiced her concerns on social media. She even did a campaign with RPK Critter Care and Animal Hospital which is Karachi’s first ever fully equipped 24/7 animal hospital.
