Sayed Mazamil Shah Recants Statement About Mahira Khan: Claims Social Media Misinterpreted His Words

Lahore:Digital media star and TV host Sayed Mazamil Shah has retracted his previous statement about actress Mahira Khan, in which he had ranked her as less experienced compared to other actors. A few days ago, Mazamil Shah appeared on the *Zabardast* show on Neo TV, where he shared his opinion on the acting experience of various actresses. He had controversially placed Mahira Khan at the bottom of his list, considering her the least experienced, followed by Mehwish Hayat in third place, Alia Bhatt in second, and Madhuri Dixit at the top.
According to *Dawn News*, Mazamil Shah had admitted that he had not followed Mahira Khan’s acting closely, and based on the general public perception, he disagreed with the widespread praise for her acting. He also mentioned that despite watching Mahira’s film *The Legend of Maula Jatt*, he did not understand her acting performance.
However, in a recent update, Mazamil Shah took to social media to clarify his comments, stating that he could never think negatively about Mahira Khan. He shared a screenshot of his previous statement on Instagram stories and claimed that social media pages had misrepresented his words for the sake of “clickbait.”
Mazamil Shah directly mentioned Mahira Khan in his post, urging her not to believe the misleading headlines circulating on social media. He emphasized that he could never think or speak negatively about the talented actress and apologized for any misunderstanding caused by his previous remarks.
This clarification comes after significant backlash on social media, with fans and supporters of Mahira Khan expressing their displeasure with Mazamil Shah’s original statement.
