Momina Mustehsan has hit back at the trolls who were moral policing actress, Alizeh Shah for her choice of clothing.
Alizeh recently shared a video of herself in a light pink outfit and people started shaming her.
Shah captioned the video, saying: “Not seeking approval.”
“I would respectfully disagree. She’s still the same person, just expressing herself differently,” said Momina while replying to one of the trolls.
Mustehsan further added: “You and I wouldn’t be here on her page if she hadn’t already gained the ‘fame’ you’re implying she changed herself to chase. If anything, I’m sure you guys have made her more than aware of your sentiments towards her choices – yet she’s choosing to be herself.”
“Let’s allow people to express themselves, however they want to. Just like you and I (and everybody else), people evolve. The way we think, feel, look keeps changing and that’s the beauty of life. Extend freedom to receive freedom,” said Momina, adding, “Just some food for thought. have a lovely day.”
Replying to another comment, Momina said: “But Islam doesn’t allow us to hurt people either, right? Whatever someone chooses to do with themselves (with no impact on you) is between them and Allah. It’s not on you. But hurting someone – that’s on you.”
“And Allah for sure doesn’t like that , neither can He forgive you for it, unless the person you’ve hurt. Think about it. Let’s focus on our own Aakhirat,” she added.
Earlier, Shah lashed out at trolls who had criticized her for lifestyle choices and fashion looks. The actor was being targeted for her clothes in the music video of her debut song, Badnaamiyan, with Sahir Ali Bagga.
Ever since Israel launched fresh airstrikes in Gaza and Palestine, the official Twitter account of the country has been actively propagating and justifying its acts. Asim Azhar recently responded to one of their tweets and told them to “stop the terrorism”.
Responding to Israel’s claims that they were founded 3,000 years ago, Azhar said: “Your ‘country’ was literally founded, sorry I mean forced on the world in 1948. Humse bhi aik saal chotay ho, aide tussi 3,000 years kay (You are one year younger than Pakistan and yet you claim you’re 3000 years old).”
“Stop the terrorism,” he added.
Asim’s tweet comes as tensions escalate in Palestine, where the Jewish state has dropped bombs on Palestinians killing hundreds. According to reports, Israeli fighter jets continued to pummel the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Wednesday, flattening residential buildings and killing at least four Palestinians, including a journalist.

After Prime Minister Imran Khan made some unwarranted comments on rape and the cited vulgarity as the reason behind rising rape cases, Rohail Hyatt stepped in to defend him, saying that the premier’s words had been taken out of context. The musician received a lot of flak for his comments. Among those who criticised him is Jawad Ahmad, who questioned Rohail’s logic behind the tweet.
“Why are you talking stupid?” wrote the singer-turned-politician in response to Hyatt’s tweet. “Will you tell us which dresses are modest and which are not?”
“Will you get into your child’s wardrobe and point out which dress once worn would keep her safe in the society?” questioned Ahmad.
“What if a dress you choose is still disapproved by majority?” he asked further.
Jawad also used the hashtag #DontJustifyRape to elaborate his stance.
Replying to Jawad’s tweet, Rohail said: “Because I am stupid. Since you’re wise, you can say wise things.”
“See there’s balance in the universe. Something to be appreciated perhaps?” he added.
While one would have thought that the debate ended there, but that was, in fact, just the start. Check out their complete exchange below:
Later, Hyatt added a humorous twist to the debate and said that Ahmad won the match.
He also said that he “loves Jawad”.
Meanwhile, Hyatt also shared why he supports PM Khan.
