Renowned Pakistani actress and model Sahifa Jabar Khattak has come under heavy criticism after making controversial remarks about different ethnic groups, including Pathans, Punjabis, and Urdu-speaking communities.
A video of her statement has gone viral on social media, sparking strong reactions from users.
Sahifa Jabar Khattak, who began her career as a model before moving into acting, has gained attention for her outspoken views on various social issues and her strong personality. In addition to acting, she has recently stepped into the business world.
After appearing in several television dramas, the actress decided to pursue entrepreneurship alongside her entertainment career. She recently launched her own food business in Lahore.
In a recent statement shared on Instagram, Sahifa said that she prefers hiring hardworking Pathan staff for her business because she does not trust people who speak Punjabi or Urdu.
Despite having a large social media following, many users considered her remarks irresponsible and offensive. The video quickly circulated online, drawing widespread criticism.
Several social media users expressed anger over her comments, with some even calling on the public to boycott her business.
One user wrote that people should stop supporting her since, according to her own statement, she only wants Pathan customers. Another commented that judging an entire community based on a negative experience with an individual reflects a narrow mindset.
Some users also criticized the actress for using racially sensitive remarks for publicity, saying that promoting business through such statements is inappropriate.
