Mishi Khan speaks out against Iffat Omer and Nilofar Shahid for playing and dancing to a religious track during Laam Fashion Week.
A fresh controversy erupted following Laam Fashion Week when veteran model Iffat Omer served as the showstopper for acclaimed designer Nilofar Shahid. While walking the runway in an opulent gold saari, Omer grooved to the popular track Aaqa, performed by Abida Parveen and Ali Sethi. The performance drew immediate backlash from netizens and media personalities who expressed outrage over dancing to a sacred religious naat during a commercial fashion event.
Taking a firm stance against the runway display, television host and actress Mishi Khan posted a stern video address on social media calling out both the designer and the showstopper. Known for her outspoken commentary and long-standing career in the Pakistani entertainment industry, Khan voiced deep disappointment regarding the improper blend of spiritual music with commercial fashion shows.
In her video response, Khan emphasized that public figures must respect religious sentiments and sacred compositions. She stated that spiritual kalaams are intended for devotion rather than entertainment or dance routines. Social media users echoed her opinions across online platforms, agreeing that fashion houses should maintain cultural and religious boundaries when choosing runway soundtracks.
This public debate highlights ongoing conversations around fashion industry ethics and cultural sensitivity in Pakistan. Neither Omer nor Shahid has issued a formal response to the ongoing critique. Do you agree with Mishi Khan’s perspective on runway track choices?
