Judge people on talent, not physical attributes, says Mehwish Hayat

Like every year, UK-based Eastern Eye Magazine released its popular list of top 50 Sexiest Asian Women and our Pakistani celebs more than made the cut.

Mahira Khan and Mehwish Hayat made it in the top ten. However, for Hayat, this is not something she wants to celebrate.

Taking to Twitter she revealed she has been “receiving a lot of congratulatory messages via texts & social media” about the list but doesn’t think of it as an achievement. In fact, she thinks such lists to be outdated.

“‘Sexy’ is defined as ‘sexually attractive’ or ‘alluring’. How can potential ‘shagability’ – and that is what it is- be a criteria for comparison?”

She added, “Judge people on talent, on merit, on intellect, on wit… but not on physical attributes. Times have changed and these sort of lists should now be confined to history!”

Here here! We love that Mehwish is so done with such archaic notions and famous women to let their work do the talking!
