Renowned Pakistani actress and host Mishi Khan has strongly criticized Danish Taimoor for his recent remarks on polygamy. During a Ramadan show, Danish Taimoor stated that Islam allows men to have four marriages, sparking a heated debate online. His comments have drawn significant backlash, not only from the public but also from figures in the entertainment industry.
Mishi Khan did not hold back in expressing her disappointment. Taking to social media, she called out Danish Taimoor for what she described as a misguided and insensitive statement. She questioned why such topics were being glorified in a lighthearted manner, especially on national television. In her video statement, she sarcastically remarked, “If you’re so proud of having the right to four marriages, then why don’t you go ahead and do it instead of making such statements on TV?” She further emphasized that respect for women and loyalty in relationships matter more than repeatedly talking about polygamy as a privilege.
Following Mishi Khan’s remarks, many netizens have applauded her stance, agreeing that such statements should not be encouraged in modern society. Several users commented that Danish Taimoor’s remarks were tone-deaf and unnecessary, given the platform and audience. Apart from Mishi Khan, Farieha Altaf, a well-known model and entrepreneur, also voiced her disapproval, calling the statement “deeply problematic and disrespectful” towards women. The controversy continues to trend on social media, with people debating whether such discussions should be normalized on mainstream platforms.
As the backlash grows, Danish Taimoor has yet to respond to the criticism from Mishi Khan and others in the industry. It remains to be seen whether he will clarify his statement or let the controversy fade away. One thing is certain—his remarks have ignited a discussion on gender equality, respect, and the responsibility of public figures in shaping societal narratives.
