Mawra Hocane (MawraHocane): I have so many answers to some absurd/provocative questions on my timeline but sometimes silence is the best answer for a fool. You know who you are. Sorry I can’t give you attention by giving you a response. Keep trying.
Naimal Khawar Khan (Naimalkhawarr): First, I am a consenting adult woman capable of making my own decisions and this narrative of ‘saving me’ is nothing short of demeaning my right to choose for myself. ... Second, while I understand that public figures are always subject to criticism even when it’s their personal life choices, please don’t distort facts. I left acting 9 months ago and the decision was entirely mine. Don’t spread false news to sensationalize someone’s special day.
