Wrinkles & White Hair? Dr. Umar Adil Mocks Mahira Khan: Ali Zafar Fires Back!

A new controversy has erupted on social media, but this time it’s not about a film’s plot or performances it’s about Mahira Khan’s age. The discussion began after orthopedic surgeon and YouTuber Dr. Umar Adil reviewed her Eid release “Love Guru” and made shocking comments about her appearance.

In his review, Dr. Umar Adil didn’t just critique the film’s story or direction he specifically targeted Mahira’s face, wrinkles, lipstick, and even camera angles. He claimed her age was “too visible” on screen, suggesting the director should have avoided close-up shots. He went further, criticizing her hair, makeup, and even saying her lipstick looked “flaky.”

But the backlash was swift. Singer-actor Ali Zafar didn’t stay silent. He called out the age-shaming in an Instagram Story, writing: “Just saw a video shaming a woman for her age. This isn’t criticism – it’s a psychological disorder.”

Ali defended Mahira powerfully, stating that such comments reveal the critic’s own insecurities, not the actress’s flaws. “People often mock others to hide their own failures,” he said, adding that targeting someone’s age or confidence is a cheap tactic for temporary validation.

This isn’t just about Mahira – it’s about a toxic trend where women in showbiz face unfair scrutiny over aging. While male actors often get praised for “maturing,” female stars face harsh comments about natural changes.

Ali’s response has been widely praised as a bold stand against online toxicity. Fans are now debating: Does age really diminish an artist’s worth? Or is this just society’s narrow-mindedness?
