Hira Khan gives befitting response to Dr Ejaz Waris for critisising Saba Qamar
Actress Hira Khan delivers a sarcastic response as the controversy surrounding Saba Qamar intensifies, using humour and symbolism to challenge ongoing criticism of artists' personal lives.
Hira captioned her post "Flop actress ki tarf se apko life ki sabse hit video mubarak ho" (Congratulations to you on behalf of Flop Actress, the biggest hit video of your life.)
The controversy started with public remarks by Dr Ejaz Waris, who questioned the tone and styling of Saba Qamar’s birthday celebration, labelling it inappropriate.
Hira Khan stepped in early to defend Saba Qamar, calling out what she described as unnecessary moral policing and stressing that an artist’s work and private life should remain separate.
Now, in a follow-up, Hira Khan has shared a video that many are calling her strongest response yet.
The video adopts a mocking tone from the very beginning, where she introduces a fictional “2 Rupees Channel,” using a hairbrush as a pretend microphone.
The segment directly targets gossip pages and critics who, according to her, thrive on scrutinizing celebrities for attention.
Throughout the video, Hira Khan addresses multiple criticisms that have been directed at her and others in the industry.
In one scene, she holds a paper labelled “Hit Serial” before casually discarding it, poking fun at the idea that an actor’s worth is defined solely by ratings or commercial success.
In another moment, she references commentary about actresses' clothing choices, sarcastically highlighting how personal style is often turned into public debate.
One of the visuals shows her holding a sign that reads “Public Property,” symbolizing how celebrities are frequently treated as if their lives are open for unrestricted judgment.
The message becomes even more direct when she places a label reading “2 Rupee Page” onto a pile of trash, making her stance on such criticism unmistakably clear.
The video also directly references Dr. Ejaz Waris, including clips of his previous statements.
Hira Khan contrasts these with visuals suggesting inconsistency, implying that critics often engage with the same industry figures they later condemn.
The response has drawn significant attention online, with many viewers supporting Hira Khan’s stance and praising her for addressing the issue in a creative and unapologetic way.
Others, however, continue to debate the responsibilities of public figures, keeping the conversation active across platforms.
The situation also saw involvement from senior actress Saba Faisal, whose earlier remarks about Hira Khan’s career and public image added another layer to the discussion.
In response, Hira Khan’s video addresses these criticisms as well, reinforcing her argument that personal choices should not overshadow professional contributions.
Adding to the support, Hira Khan’s husband Arslan Khan publicly backed her stance, echoing similar sentiments about selective criticism and the need for mutual respect within the industry.
