Mehwish Hayat slams Indian media for ‘gutter journalism’

Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat slammed Indian media on Wednesday for their “gutter journalism”, stating that she would not shy away from highlighting New Delhi’s atrocities in occupied Kashmir.

The scathing attack from the actress came after Indian media posted unfounded reports linking Hayat with Dawood Ebrahim.

“I will not give credence to the unfounded accusations being made about me in some Indian media by issuing a statement. I know exactly what their agenda is & why they’re doing this. All I will say to them is that this kind of gutter journalism will not shut me up. I will … 1/2,” she tweeted.

“I will continue to highlight their atrocities in Kashmir and to call out Bollywood for its hypocrisy. Oh BTW next time if you want to link my name with someone .. may I suggest @LeoDiCaprio?”

Baseless Indian media reports had cited sources saying that Ebrahim was allegedly upset over a report that exposed his alleged relationship with Hayat.
