Social media is a physical manifestation of ‘words are mightier than a sword’, but the trolls have misinterpreted it all together. Online bullying has become rampant and extremely easy. Among the many that become the victim of cyber harassment, celebrities are the popular targets; especially females. Recently Mahira Khan was disrespected by a troll, who called her demeaning names like ‘kanjari’ and ‘mujra wali‘; further, continued on with a vulgar rant.
Mahira responded with grace coupled with savagery; a lethal weapon.
Mahira tweeted something of deeper meaning but vague as to what she was commenting on. Since Musharraf’s verdict is the topic of debate on Twitter these days and assuming many celebrities came forward with their stance; Mahira’s tweet was assumed to be in that regard.
Mahira tweeted:
Yehi toh rona hai.. keh Allah ki laathi beawaaz hai. Awaaz aani chahiye laathi ki.

One of the Twiter users slut-shamed her in response to this, implying she was assisted by high ranking army officials to reach where she is now.
Here’s the obnoxious tweet:
Aap jaisi kanjrion ko dramon may high rank fauji officers dilwatay han… isi lianamak halali karti ho warna aap jaisi 2 takay ki mjura karnay walon ki kia haisat hay.. Muashiray may..

“Aap jaisi kanjrion ko dramon may high rank fauji officers dilwatay han… isi lianamak halali karti ho warna aap jaisi 2 takay ki mjura karnay walon ki kia haisat hay.. Muashiray may”
Mahira’s clap back.
“Your mentality shows in your words. My earning is halal, otherwise, I would’ve taken the responsibility of your education from a good school. As for me being worthless, women like me do not place a price on ourselves, nor on other humans”
Aap ki zehniat aap ke lafzon mein saaf nazar aati hai. Meri kamai halal ki hai, warna aap ko achay school bhejnay ka zima mein uthati! Jahan tak baat rahi 2 takay ki.. hum jaisi auretein apney aap par qeemat nahi lagati, na hi kisi aur insaan par ?? https://t.co/BghSMGrgVC
