Rehan Tariq opened Warda’s Tiktok account and showed her video of dancing on song Tauba Tauba and asked her if what she is doing on internet is morally right or wrong, to which Warda Malik defended herself and said she doesn’t feel it wrong and has been earning through social media for her family, instead of selling her body.

Rehan Tariq ignited severe public backlash for his indecent questioning to Warda Malik, with many saying that just because she is a TikToker, he thought he had the right to insult her. Several users commented that he should invite an A-list Pakistani actor and call her out because she does the same acts. Not only social media users, but actors and influencers also stood up to support Warda Malik after she was degraded by host Rehan Tariq on a public platform in front of a live audience. Sehar Khan, Khattak, Yasir Hussain, Shafaat Syed, Khaqan Shahnawaz and many influencers are criticizing him. Sehar Khan condemned the new trend of podcasts in which hosts are making the guests uncomfortable through questions and holding them accountable. Yasir Hussain also said that he didn’t expect this attitude from a decent person like Rehan Tariq. He further said that the content Warda Malik is making is justified and no one can hold her accountable for that. Read the posts:
