Actress Mahira Khan recently found herself at the centre of a controversy when many on X, previously Twitter, accused her of giving a "diplomatic" statement amid Israel's offensive against Gaza. Mahira, who has been incessantly tweeting for Palestine, showed grace in her response, making her stance clear on the matter. In a recent tweet, Mahira extended her support to those suffering, expressing her deep concern for those who have lost their loved ones, homes, and who endure pain every single second. She also showed empathy for those who might be misinformed about the suffering "around them."

Many found this statement quite "diplomatic" and demanded she name Palestine and Israel. "Praying for who?" a user asked. "Name them and shame them otherwise no need to even tweet this too," slammed a user.

A troll even insinuated that star’s silence was due to concerns about her future Hollywood contracts.

"Mahira cannot risk her future Hollywood contracts guys, that’s why she didn't name Israel. Majboriya hoti hain." To this, she responded with a concise yet powerful message: "Uhhh, I call it loud and clear. Sit down. Use your time to pray for Palestine." Her unapologetic reply demonstrated her commitment to raising her voice for the suffering in Gaza.
