Although the video has received lots of praise, it has also attracted the ire of some of the more conservative viewers, who accuse the actress of immoral dressing and conduct.
Two months ago, Mehwish Hayat received the Pride of Performance in Norway. This was followed by multiple appearances on various international platforms where she spoke about how the world of cinema is fueling Islamophobia.
