Mahira Khan reacts to Javed Sheikh’s kiss at LSA 2018

Pakistani veteran actor Javed Sheikh's kiss for Mahira Khan at the Lux Style Awards 2018 has become the talk of town, as Twitterati called him out for his cringe-worthy kiss that seems to be apparently making her uncomfortable.

Mahira came on stage to receive her ‘best actress’ award for her role in the movie ‘Verna’. As she goes for a hand shake with Sheikh, he leaned forward to kiss her on the cheek.

Though people immediately started to judge the Pakistani actor, Mahira came to his defence through a Twitter post.

I have just woken up to such silly stuff floating around. It’s good to be aware and have an opinion but for Gods sake don’t use anything and everything to make news. Javed Sheikh of all people! He is a legend and a mentor to all of us in this industry. Would vouch for him always.
