Another day, another celebrity trying to put her apparent ‘hot take’ on the internet and this time it’s Maira Khan, not to be confused with Mahira Khan.
The actress decided it was a good day to flaunt her self proclaimed ‘burger-ism’ and call others paindu for the way they pronounce bowl, while pronouncing it wrong herself 🤡
So a/c to B-grade actress Maira Khan , she's the only genuine DHA wali, only she has the right to wear Gym wear & go to elite gyms because u all pronounce #Bowl as Bowl.
Mocking people for not being proficient in an colonial tongue is nothing but elitist snobbery. Shame on u. pic.twitter.com/FrrffLCuAH— عمر (@Panchayti10) September 25, 2021
And people have a lot to add!
“Sports walay kapray” was the one for me. It’s either gym wear or activewear. Lagta hai baji bhi defence recently shift hui hain.

People had questions:
Is there not a single sane person around these people that can private message them and say “hey, whatever you’re trying to get at here makes no sense, please delete this for your own good, love you.” pic.twitter.com/FZ5Jl5Fx5Z

I like how she doesn't really know that she's herself the poster-child for DHA paindoos.

We call it self sabotage:
In one video she showed her true self. WHAT YOU THINK OF OTHER'S IS A REFLECTION OF YOURSELF! She made fun of people's way of talking. She talked about how burgers are. She body shamed people. What a shame! Honestly what a shame. https://t.co/GdRJ09ido6

People were disgusted!
wtf???? this blatant (and UNAPOLOGETIC) classist, elitist, colonial bs disgusts me!!! https://t.co/nZrbIP6gp0

Hehehe!
Never had I've ever thought that there's something to be proud of being a burger. Never forget who you really are. Sab kuch angrezon wala kar lo rehna tumne phir bhi Pakistani hi hai. Identity crisis aur inferiority complex ki shikar awam. https://t.co/eKrNsTeqxa

Burgers didn’t want anything to do with her:
She wants to be a burger so badd sit down you aren't one of us https://t.co/xIMzRtInwm

Ummm:
As general secretary of All Islamabad Burger Association, I refuse to accept her as a burger.
She doesn't even know how to talk bro…. She sounds so pindi https://t.co/mbk35K0v7O

True!
If only people would listen to what they are saying before posting, it would save them from the embarrassment https://t.co/gYr7Q5qlvN

And not even our first language to begin with:
For the last damn time, English doesn't mean you're some higher being. It's literally a bloody language.
If people can afford, they have the right to go wherever they please. I hate the Lahori elite for this too https://t.co/hImnpsSrMX

People found her thoughts to be spiritual:
"Burgerism aap kay andar hota hai" Kitni spiritual baat ki hai. We all should look inward and try to find and connect with our "Burgerism" and if we don't have that then being Neech, ochi and chuk chuk is in our destiny. https://t.co/k4nA02DyPx

When self-awareness goes wrong…
Irony is that she doesnt even look or sound like a Burger. 😭 kyuon itni ghalat fehmi hai logo ko apnay baray main? https://t.co/VEvAgbLXMD

Ironic!
Making fun of ppl but fails to realize that she also has an accent lol?¿ https://t.co/srvBuxXrkX

The actress, within 24 hours of getting the taste of being a burger, issued an apology:
Maira Khan has apologized for remarks that she realized were inappropriate.
We should learn to forgive mistakes. Peace. pic.twitter.com/wLNwBwpAih— عمر (@Panchayti10) September 26, 2021
Actually she was not sorry at all. It was all Dhakoslebazi
Look at her Dhitai. pic.twitter.com/E9gjTPFsoN— عمر (@Panchayti10) September 27, 2021
And while the actress did issue a condescending apology, people weren’t really buying it:

People were calling her apology the worst cover-up ever!
Worst cover up ever. https://t.co/5GfjpsbXHA
— Attiya Bakhtiar (@AttiyaBakhtiar) September 26, 2021
People found her apology to be another attention-seeking tactic:
She is adamant that she is right but ppl are wrong in their understandings. Apologising for the sake of fun and publicity. https://t.co/W3bLBLn00b
— Ehte-sham 🇵🇰 (@grumpyAlfaWolf) September 26, 2021
🤷♀️
ye kesi apology jis mie she's not even holding herself accountable that what she said was wrong what is "agar meri waja se koi hurt hua ha" baji apologize properly ya to na karo https://t.co/6HQsdsLdoG

Sigh!
