Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan has landed in the headlines after a private television channel drew sharp criticism from social media users for referring to her as an “old woman” following her recent pregnancy announcement at the age of 41.
Mahira recently shared the joyful news of her pregnancy with fans, openly discussing how experiencing motherhood again at 41 feels physically and emotionally different compared to when she was 24. Discussing this topic on a television program featuring medical experts, the channel’s choice of words—specifically labeling the 41-year-old actress as “old”—sparked immediate outrage online.
Social media users heavily condemned the derogatory language. One user argued that a healthy woman in her 40s cannot and should not be classified as old, while another shared a personal anecdote highlighting that experiencing natural pregnancy at 41 is entirely normal.
