Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is facing public criticism for her performance in the romantic film Neelofar. She is widely known for her work in TV dramas like Humsafar, Sadqay Tumhare, Razia, and Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. Mahira has also appeared in films, including Love Guru, and has a massive following of 11.7 million on Instagram.

A leaked scene from Neelofar recently went viral on social media. In the clip, Mahira portrays her character Neelofar in an emotional moment, either crying or speaking to herself. Many viewers felt her performance lacked the depth needed to convey the character’s emotions effectively.

Fans quickly shared their opinions online. One comment read, “Cold expressions; she ruins a good project that could have been one of her best performances.” Another added, “Sanam Baloch delivered heartfelt crying in Dastaan and Durr-e-Shehwar, but Mahira’s scene falls short.”

Some viewers suggested other actresses could have done a better job. Comments included, “They should have cast Humaima Malik,” and, “Comparing her to legends like Saba Qamar is unfair.” Others said her emotional expressions seemed forced, writing, “Crying seems natural for Hira Mani, while Mahira is just imitating emotions.”

The criticism has sparked debates about Mahira Khan’s ability to deliver intense emotional performances consistently. Fans note that while she has excelled in many past roles, this scene has raised questions about her acting in high-pressure emotional sequences.
