Mehwish Hayat has been quite vocal when it comes to speaking against Indian of late. The actor has openly called out fellow artists from the other side of the border who have supported the Indian army’s activities in Kashmir. However, she has come under fire on social media after a snippet from a recent interview of hers went viral.
Talking to Express News, Hayat was asked to make a comment about Kashmir. To this, the Chhalawa star responded saying, “Nothing about Kashmir! I’ve been asked not to speak about Kashmir here.”
The leaked video is being taken out of context. I’ve been the most vocal on #Kashmir issue globally & will continue to do so. I have big plans for next steps. This was a charity event & was requested by the PR not to be political ¬ distract from the orphans I was there to help

محترمہ فرماتی ھیں " کشمیر پر بات کرنے سے منع کیا گیا ھے "
سبحان اللہ پیسہ بہت بڑی چیز ھے بڑے بڑوں کو دلا بنا دیا ھے اور محترمہ مہوش حیات جو دنیا میں اپنی طرف سے پاکستان کی نمائندگی کرتی پھرتی ھیں لیکن فیشن شو میں کشمیر کا نام نھیں لے سکتی

Hayat then took to Twitter to share her stance on the matter. “The leaked video is being taken out of context. I’ve been the most vocal on the Kashmir issue globally and will continue to do so. I have big plans for the next steps,” she said. “This was a charity event and I was requested by the PR not to be political and distract people from the orphans I was there to help.”
