'Khuda ka khauf karain, obviously not Bushra Bibi!' Resham sides with Maryam Nawaz on live Eid show

During a recent Eid live show, veteran actress Resham was asked to choose between Maryam Nawaz and Bushra Bibi. Laughing, she said she would “of course” pick Maryam Nawaz.

“Khuda ka khauf karain, of course, Maryam Nawaz,” Resham said emphasizing her admiration for the politician’s dedication, , praising her work in Punjab and calling her a fearless woman who does not hesitate to take action while many others remain hesitant or scared.

However, her statement drew criticism on social media. One user wrote, “Har koi apni aqal aur haisiyat ke hisab se baat karta hai na.” Another added, “Ye kya tareeka hai ‘Khuda ka khauf kren’? Aik taraf ikhlaq ki tareef kar rahe ho, doosri taraf apna ikhlaq dekho phir.”

Some even speculated with a tinge of humor and suspicion, alleging that Resham might be receiving financial support for her cosmetic procedures from Maryam Nawaz, though no evidence has been presented.

The debate highlights how celebrity endorsements and opinions can quickly spark strong reactions, especially when they intersect with politics in Pakistan.
