Mehwish claps back at trolls targeting Sahir Lodhi
Sahir Lodhi has recently been trending on social media, with users posting TikTok videos mimicking the actor and television host. Jumping on the bandwagon, Yasir Nawaz also shared a video of himself imitating Lodhi. The clip was received with humour and quickly went viral, sparking what's now known as "The Sahir Lodhi Trend." As the trend went viral, Mehwish Hayat took to social media to defend Lodhi, showing her disapproval of internet culture that thrives on making fun of celebrities. Hayat penned, "It's really not fair how some people make fun of him, often forgetting that he's a human being with feelings, just like the rest of us." The actor showed appreciation of Lodhi's hard work over the years by writing, "He is someone who has worked consistently, shown up with passion, and built a name in an industry that's not easy to survive in." Hayat emphasised that everyone deserves basic kindness, despite their differences. According to her, "You don't have to agree with someone's style or choices but basic respect should never go out of fashion." She had a positive message for the audience, promoting empathy, "Let's normalise kindness, especially towards those who keep showing up, no matter what the world throws at them." Lodhi has been the target of hate ever since he began his career. He has been trolled for imitating the Bollywood actor, Shahrukh Khan, for his over the top hosting style and for not appearing manly enough. His movie, Raasta released in 2017, was also met with a lot of hate for its poor quality, mocking the actor for his self-congratulary attitude. Previously, Lodhi had gracefully responded to his online trolls by stating, "When you are in this profession, you become public property. I think if you cannot take humour or taunts, then you cannot work here." While asked about negative comments, the actor remarked, "Yes, I get a lot of hate and curse words thrown my way. If writing these comments makes these people happy or they believe I am a certain way, then what can I say? Everyone has the right to express and live their life in whatever way they want."
