Mehwish Hayat, Yo Yo Honey Singh may face UK ban for THIS  song

Pakistani star Mehwish Hayat and Indian singer Yo Yo Honey Singh could face a ban from entering the UK.

 

British Parliament member Manuela Perteghella has formally called for action against the two, urging the UK Home Office to investigate the video for its “disturbing glorification of violence,” Deadline reported.

 

Jatt Mehkma's music video was filmed in the UK and released in November. It has already gained nearly 40 million views on YouTube. The four-minute clip ends with four minor boys joining Hayat’s character in opening fire on a group of men using replica automatic weapons and shotguns.

 

According to reports, the video was shot at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire and in Birmingham’s city centre, with help from a UK-based production company.

 

The Home Office is reportedly considering exclusion orders barring Hayat and Singh from re-entering the country. “There are serious concerns about the use of imitation firearms and exposing minors to violent themes,” reports quoted a source familiar with the matter said.

 

Mehwish Hayat, known for roles in Ms. Marvel and Pakistani films like Load Wedding and Actor in Law, denied that any official action is being taken. “These claims are entirely speculative and misleading,” she said, urging media platforms to verify facts before sharing such news.

 

Yo Yo Honey Singh, a major figure in India’s hip-hop scene, has yet to respond publicly.

 

The UK Home Office and West Midlands Police have declined to comment, and no legal steps have been announced yet. Following the controversy, the BBC Asian Network has reportedly dropped Jatt Mehkma from future playlists.
