Taking war to the showbiz

The taking war to the showbiz of words raging in the country that started after the change of regime last April has taken a vicious turn when an ex-army officer and now an active YouTuber accused leading female Pakistani actresses and models for visiting safe houses and messes for immoral purposes. Within minutes of the video going live, hundreds of accounts started shared memes and videos carrying the names and images of four of Pakistan’s leading ladies inferring their identities from the initials provided by the YouTuber. This media sensation caused an outrage in the annals of Pakistani social media and the vlog was widely condemned as having fallen to the utter depths of indiscretion. One of the alleged female artists, Kubra Khan challenged the veracity of the allegation of the YouTuber along with warning that if he does not retract the allegations as well as apologise for issuing them then she will sue him for defamation in a UK court where she resides, and incidentally, the YouTuber is also currently living there. Other accused actresses include Mehwish Hayat, who was also the target of a vicious campaign in 2019 when she was bestowed a presidential award and Sajal Ali and both of them condemned the baseless accusations.
