LAHORE- Ever since her new item number ‘Gangster Guriya’ released, Mehwish Hayat has been receiving unnecessary backlash on social media.
It all started with this one tweet by Hayat which says, “Oops I did it again! After 5 years another cameo that I am very proud of. R u ready for Gangster Guriya? A woman in control of herself & knows what she wants! ”You can’t play me boy..nahi hoon mai khilona” Thank you @aClockworkObi, Saqib Malik, Taha, Akif ILyas, Anila, Mo Azmi n team.”

This was enough to draw all the unwanted attention.
Tweeting again, Hayat made it clear that she will do whatever she feels good about
She wrote, “To do these dance numbers has been my choice. As an actress and performer, it is my job. As a woman I find my work empowering. Dance to me is aesthetically the purest form of art.”

To show the haters that there is nothing stopping the ‘Gangster Guriya’ from riding high on success and achieving what she wants, she even shared a video of herself rehearsing for the song.
Hayat tweeted saying, “This has to be one of my most fav & toughest steps of the choreography from Gangster Guriya. Thank you @aClockworkObi for pushing me & trusting me with these challenging moves. Looked easy but I almost fractured my knee at the shoot being the jazbaati adakaara that I am. lol.”

After her tweet about feeling empowered, Mehwish referenced Madonna’s ‘Billboard’ speech in 2016 and attributed her as a direct influence to be a “bad feminist.”
