Mahira Khan’s dance at Asim Azhar concert goes viral
KARACHI: A video of superstar Mahira Khan dancing at Asim Azhar’s recent concert has gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions from fans and viewers.
Mahira, who enjoys significant popularity online with over 11.7 million Instagram followers, was spotted enjoying the music while Asim Azhar performed his hit song “Tirsti Hain Nigahen.” She was dressed in an off-white printed angrakha shirt, churidar pajama, and dupatta.
The viral clip, however, received mixed to largely negative feedback. Several social media users criticized her dance moves, questioning whether they were appropriate for a senior actress. One user commented, “These dance moves are not suitable for someone of her stature,” while another asked why people in Pakistan try to appear younger as they age.

Some viewers also compared Mahira Khan’s performance to viral concert moments by Indian singer AP Dhillon and actress Tara Sutaria, further fueling the debate online.
Recently, Mahira was seen alongside Wahaj Ali in a popular TV commercial, and the pair are also expected to appear together in an upcoming drama.
The incident highlights the intense scrutiny public figures in Pakistan face on social media, where even casual moments at concerts can quickly become trending topics.
