The ongoing debate between Mishi Khan and Umer Alam has taken a serious turn as their exchanges intensify with intense taunts.
Their back-and-forth has captured the attention of many.
All this started when Mishi Khan took to her Instagram handle and shared a video of herself in which she expressed her concerns about the inclusion of young YouTuber Shirazi in this year's Ramadan broadcasts.
In the shared video, the actress stated that:
“I am very saddened by the fact that a child, who became so famous on social media that his videos are watched with great interest in countries other than Pakistan, he received a silver button from YouTube, and he reached one million followers on Instagram - he's so cute, he says such organic, innocent, and sweet things. I am saddened by the fact that he is now a part of a Ramazan transmission. Do you guys not find anyone else?"
She continued by slamming the team of the show:
“First, you ruined Ahmad Shah's innocence and turned him into a city adult. You steal their childhood. What was the need? He was already famous due to his own hard work. Like hawks, you have swooped in. The timings must be absurd. He's a kid. He needs sleep. He must be awake at Sehri time and Iftari time to take part in the transmission the entire month. At least spare someone.”
While showing her deep concern about the little kid, she said:
“I also want to ask his father - he is already so well known. What was the need to agree to this? You were so interested that he comes to the city, doesn't get any sleep, and gets involved in city talk, corroding his innocence? What type of people are you?”
And the lady concluded it by saying:
“Shame on all of you.”
The video quickly went viral on all social media platforms, prompting actor Umer Alam to criticize Mishi for her involvement in the situation, as he is known for sharing his opinions on various topics.
Umer presented a different perspective from Mishi's viewpoint, stating that children are not coerced into appearing on TV. He believes that being on television can be empowering for children, as it motivates them, acknowledges their efforts, and elevates their self-esteem significantly.
The actor further labelled the actress as ‘nosy’, emphasizing that it's someone else's show and someone else's child, implying that she shouldn't interfere in their issues.
Upon hearing Umer's statement, Mishi didn't hesitate to label the actor as 'flattery', asserting her stance in the ongoing exchange.
It appears that Mishi is gaining the upper hand in this debate, with online users applauding her for highlighting the correct information and criticizing Umar for speaking nonsense just to appease the producers.
