A video from 2023 where Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is seen presenting award to actor Mawra Hocane is going viral over how the Pakistan Prime Minister looked at the actor after presenting the award.
The event was being held at the Governor House Punjab in Pakistan's Punjab province.
The video appeared to have gone viral following interest in India and Pakistan-related matters after both nations came close to the brink of war due to Pakistan Army's backing of terrorists.
Pakistan's UNewsTV posted the video on its YouTube and website with the caption 'Shahbaz Sharif 'deep-scans" Mawra Hussain while giving award, video goes viral".
Now, almost two years later, the clip has resurfaced — proving once again that the internet never forgets, especially when there's a suspicious side-eye involved.
The video shows Hocane receiving the award from Shehbaz Sharif and then the Pakistan Prime Minister is caught in the act of what the Pakistani news agency termed 'deep-scanning" Hocane, a celebrated female star known for her striking looks and on-screen charm.
Even though on social media people shared memes and poked fun at the behaviour of the Pakistan Prime Minister, the clip went on to reignite conversations around the 'male gaze" — a term used to describe how men often objectify women through prolonged or inappropriate looks — and how public figures, even at formal events, are not immune to this behavioural scrutiny.
Mawra Hocane, who made her Bollywood debut in Sanam Teri Kasam (2016), recently found herself at the center of a controversy amid tensions between India and Pakistan. Following her public criticism of India's Operation Sindoor, her co-star Harshvardhan Rane announced his refusal to participate in the film's sequel if Hocane were involved .

Rane's decision was met with backlash from Hocane, who labeled his move a 'PR strategy" . In response, Rane emphasized his patriotism, stating he has 'zero tolerance for any attack on [his] nation's dignity" .
The dispute led to further repercussions, with digital platforms like Spotify reportedly removing Hocane's image from Sanam Teri Kasam's promotional materials .
