Well, it’s been a week since the whole ‘Sharmeen Obaid Controversy‘ bombarded our social media newsfeeds. The controversy has led many people to google and open up a dictionary to actually find out the real meaning of ‘harassment’. However, the whole country seemed divided over this incident. Not just this but the incident sure started a major debate on social media and it continues being discussed and argued over. Whereas, many people stood by the doctor who was accused.

The Verna actress who, herself, has encountered social media harassment just a few weeks ago also shared her two cents regarding the whole frenzy. On Monday morning, Mahira Khan made her live appearance on Geo for the promotion of her upcoming movie “Verna”, and when she was asked about the whole Sharmeen Obaid’s incident, here’s what Mahira said:

“If a doctor uses your personal information to approach you, then it is definitely the wrong code of condut and it is is perfectly okay if someone uses the right platform to talk about what is wrong.”

She also said that,

“Whether it was harassment or not, it is still open for debate.”

However, Mahira’s co-star, Haroon Shahid had a different opinion and said that a friendship request was NOT harassment. He added that it was just a friendship request and that every individual has the authority to either accept it or reject. It is that simple.

What do you think of Mahira’s and Haroon’s statement? Whom do you agree with?
