Pakistani actress and dancer Mehar Bano has seemingly taken a sarcastic swipe at doctor and social media commentator Ejaz Waris over his frequent criticism of actresses and other showbiz personalities.
Known for openly discussing social issues, Mehar Bano used humor and satire to question the growing culture of unsolicited commentary surrounding celebrities and their personal and professional choices.
The actress shared a video on Instagram featuring the text, “That one doctor on my feed,” before launching into a sarcastic monologue about people who regularly comment on celebrities despite having no relevant expertise.
In the video, Mehar humorously presented herself as a fictional doctor without qualifications and joked about continuing to make unnecessary and uninformed comments about actresses and prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
She also sarcastically suggested that people sitting at home with little to do could turn gossip and criticism into a source of income simply because there is an audience willing to listen.
Taking her satire further, Mehar joked that commenting on women had effectively become an “economy” and humorously described herself as part of that imagined economy.
The actress also addressed the broader issue of judging women on social media. She referred to the religious prohibition against gossip and used the point to strengthen her criticism of people who publicly pass judgment on others.
Mehar ended the video with another sarcastic remark about respect, telling the people she was addressing that although she did not respect them, they were still expected to respect her.
Her comments appear to come amid ongoing criticism of Ejaz Waris, who has regularly shared his opinions about actresses and entertainment personalities on social media.
His commentary has reportedly covered topics including acting performances, fashion choices, appearances and other aspects of celebrities’ public lives. His views have attracted both supporters and critics online.
Mehar Bano’s latest video quickly generated reactions across social media, with celebrities, influencers and other users joining the conversation in the comments.
Some social media users praised the actress for challenging what they viewed as unnecessary moral policing and criticism of women. Others appeared to enjoy the humorous and sarcastic way she delivered her message.
The exchange has also revived a broader discussion about the limits of celebrity criticism. While public figures are often subject to opinions about their work, questions remain over how far commentary should extend into their clothing, appearance, personal decisions and private lives.
Social media has made it easier for public figures and commentators to share opinions with large audiences. At the same time, such commentary can quickly become controversial when it involves personal judgments or criticism directed at individuals.
Mehar Bano’s satirical response has therefore become another example of the ongoing debate over celebrity culture, online commentary and the boundaries between public opinion and personal judgment.
