Photos of Mahira Khan smoking with Ranbir Kapoor outside a hotel in New York went viral last night. The rumoured couple, who have been linked together since March 2017, after attending an event in Dubai were seen chilling together and they looked pretty comfortable in each other’s company.
Problems arose when people on the Internet began to slut-shame Mahira. Some had a problem when the dress she was wearing, some didn’t like that she was smoking and some were angry that she, a single mother, had decided to have a relationship (an alleged one as of now). Trolling is one of the biggest evils of social media and the poor actress bore the brunt.
Mahira’s peer Ali Zafar has now come to the defense of his friend on social media by writing a very thoughtful note. I just hope people from both countries read it and think twice before judging a woman for just living her life.
