Mansha Pasha responds to trolls questioning religious values in showbiz

KARACHI: Mansha Pasha, who won the hearts of audience with her latest release 'Laal Kabootar' recently appeared to a media festival along with fellow actors Hareem Farooq and Osman Khalid Butt for sharing her views about women representation in the film industry.

Speaking at the event, the actor highlighted a valid point about films in cinemas catering to a certain class of audiences.

Pasha said: "Films are being made for an upper middle class audience, who can afford expensive tickets, therefore the women in film are a lot more progressive than the women we see on TV."

However, the actress was trolled by a social media user as he tweeted: “Mansha Pasha, I saw you attended that conference with Osman Khalid Butt and Hareem Farooq. To make it clear to you, those who break the laws of Islam – which the entire showbiz does – will always be judged, discouraged and will never get acceptance ever.” 

Pasha took no time to make him silent as she responded: "I think people who follow and write to us sinners are also sinning. I suggest you secure your afterlife by swiftly unfollowing. God bless.”

Meanwhile, Manal Faheem Khan raised the  voice on how women in showbiz are treated, commenting on key points from the session, she wrote, “Osman Khalid Butt was called a “gender traitor” for supporting Meesha Shafi. This lends insight into how matters of sexual harassment become about men vs women instead of victim vs perpetrator. Men in the industry aren’t encouraged to support women who may have been abused.”

In past, Pasha had passed some  comments about how women in the industry should learn to speak better.
