Nazia Malik Criticizes Mahira Khan’s Fitness and Acting: “Some Scenes Made Her Look Overweight”

Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan, one of the biggest names in the film industry, is once again in the spotlight but this time for criticism rather than praise. Despite the massive box office success of her recent film Love Guru, actress and analyst Nazia Malik has questioned both Mahira’s fitness and acting skills.

In a bold statement, Nazia Malik claimed that Mahira’s performance has always been “flat,” saying her success comes more from luck and stardom than from talent. She also pointed out that in Love Guru, Mahira did not leave any strong impact, while in The Legend of Maula Jatt, her Punjabi dialogue delivery seemed unnatural.

What sparked even more debate was Nazia’s criticism of Mahira’s fitness. She said that Mahira’s weight appeared to change from scene to scene in the movie, at times looking slim and at other times appearing heavier. According to Nazia, this inconsistency shows a lack of attention to diet and fitness, especially when compared to actresses like Ayesha Omar and Ushna Shah, whom she praised as real role models for maintaining their physique consistently.

The remarks quickly triggered a heated discussion among fans. Many defended Mahira Khan, pointing to her international recognition and groundbreaking roles, arguing that her charm and screen presence cannot be dismissed. Others, however, agreed with Nazia Malik, saying Mahira needs to work harder on improving her craft and maintaining physical balance if she wants to remain at the top.

Mahira Khan, who has delivered multiple blockbusters and remains one of Pakistan’s most influential stars, has yet to respond to the criticism. Whether she addresses these remarks or chooses to stay silent, the debate highlights how closely the public and critics observe the lives of celebrities, both on and off the screen.
