Just a day ago, photographs of Ranbir Kapoor and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan spread like wildfire and pretty much broke the internet. The two of them were hanging out in New York City and having a conversation over a smoke. The speculations around Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan dating began when they met in March this year at the Global Teacher Prize Ceremony in Dubai. They were the guests and walked the red carpet together.

SHOCKING: Mahira Khan slut-shamed for provocative clothing and smoking with Ranbir Kapoor

On Friday, after their photographs went viral on social media, the Pakistani actress Mahira Khan was subjected to slut-shaming over her backless dress and smoking with Ranbir Kapoor. Mahira was wearing a backless white summer dress while hanging out with Ranbir outside a restaurant.

Reacting to this, Pakistani fans went crazy seeing Mahira Khan smoking in public and wearing a ‘provocative’ backless dress. The fans were quick to express their displeasure and slut-shamed Mahira Khan for the same. Not only did they slut shame her, trolls judged her character for choosing to smoke.

Well, soon after, Pakistani actors like Ali Zafar, Humaima Malik and Osman Khalid Butt stepped in support of their fellow colleague and friend Mahira Khan. Ali Zafar, who has worked in several Bollywood films, wrote a note bashing the people who shamed Mahira for her choice of clothing. He said that every woman has the right to do her own thing as long as she isn't hurting anyone.

Osman Khlid Butt, who has worked with Mahira Khan before, recreated those NYC leaked pictures with his friends to mock the trolls. He came in support of his friend and called out the trolls for their perverted comments.
