Aamir Liaquat is no stranger to controversy. Every now and then, the TV show host pokes fun at someone or passes questionable comments landing him in the line of fire.

Recently, Aamir took a dig at Mehwish Hayat for condemning the US airstrike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq.

Aamir remarked that just because Mehwish received a Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, the “item girl” should not pass such statements and should keep Pakistan’s foreign policy in mind. He added that if Soleimani was alive, “would he have invited her to perform in Iran?”

Aamir’s comments certainly did not go down well with Mehwish who hit back with a strong reply and asked the MNA to man up. She also threw shade by asking him what he had done about the case he was filing against her for Load Wedding.

Meanwhile, this is what Mehwish had tweeted with regard to Soleimani.

This is not the first time that Liaquat has picked on the actor or been openly critical of her. He previously bashed her for her performance at the Hum Awards held in October last year.

Before that Aamir had said that he would take legal action against Mehwish Hayat and Fahad Mustafa for defaming him in Load Wedding.

It appears that Mehwish’s Tamgha-e-Imtiaz is a sore point for Aamir.
