Mehwish Hayat Defends Sahir Lodhi

Actress Mehwish Hayat responded to the viral trend of celebrities and influencers imitating Sahir Lodhi on social media, urging people to practice kindness and respect.
Recently, Sahir Lodhi’s official social media accounts shared videos showing him seemingly “unaware” while preparing for meetings. These clips, which appeared overly staged and featured repetitive expressions, quickly went viral.
As the videos circulated, social media users flooded them with humorous comments. Several well-known actors and influencers—such as Faisal Qureshi, Yasir Nawaz, and Aijaz Aslam—joined the trend by posting light-hearted imitations of Sahir’s dramatic style.
What began as routine content turned into meme material as celebrities and influencers mimicked Lodhi’s behavior, drawing massive attention online.
However, Mehwish Hayat stepped in to call out the mockery. She defended Sahir Lodhi and urged people to show more compassion.
“Every human being deserves basic respect,” Mehwish wrote on Instagram. “One should not abandon the rule of decency and gentleness while criticizing someone’s style.”
She emphasized Sahir Lodhi’s dedication, stating, “He’s worked consistently, shown up with passion, and built a name in an industry that’s not easy to survive in. It’s really not fair how some people mock him, forgetting that he’s human, just like the rest of us.”
She concluded by saying, “You don’t have to agree with someone’s style or choices, but basic respect should never go out of fashion. Let’s normalize kindness, especially toward those who keep showing up, no matter what the world throws at them!”
