Mahira Khan recently paid a humble tribute to the strength, determination and resilience of an accomplished Pakistan Army officer, Lieutenant General Nigar Johar, by portraying her character in a biopic (telefilm) Aik Hai Nigar. As Pakistan Army’s first female Three Star General, Johar is a force to be reckoned with, and her inspirational story is a must-watch.
As television viewers, we are accustomed to watching a certain type of women on television and it’s a rare occurrence to find ‘strong female characters surrounded by supportive people’ in our dramas. Despite Mahira’s remarkable performance, the audience criticized Mahira for her controversial dialogue about doctors in telefilm.
“We aren’t ordinary doctors. We are doctors in uniform. Our Public have many hopes and expectations from us”, says Mahira Khan. Right after the video clip went viral on social media, Mahira Khan faced immense backlash from the audience. The doctors also bashed Mahira for calling them ordinary doctors. Here we have gathered some public reviews, have a look!
ایک خاتون کی کامیابیوں کو پوری میڈیکل کمیونٹی کی توہین کیے بغیر سراہا جا سکتا تھا، خاص طور پر COVID کے دوران ان کے فرنٹ لائن کردار کو دیکھتے ہوئے جب یونیفارم والے ڈاکٹر عام شہریوں پر اپنے دروازے بند کر رہے تھے۔

Docters are docters and their work is to serve nationAnd they are serving by burning mid nights oil
How can u distinguish between ordinary and Army docter?Ordinary docters have to struggle more than Army doctors because they are not provided with luxury lifestyle#OrdinaryDoctor pic.twitter.com/hO2KBSyd8u— kashaf (@kashafkhan0) October 28, 2021
