Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan, a psychologist and internet personality known for sparking debate with her outspoken views, is once again at the center of online controversy. Her recent marriage to longtime friend Haris Khokhar drew significant attention, especially after the couple held their Nikkah ceremony at Maulana Tariq Jamil’s residence. Their appearances in multiple interviews afterward kept them firmly in the public eye.
But a separate moment from a podcast has gone even more viral. In that interview, Dr. Nabiha discussed her personal approach to pardah, describing boundaries that many viewers found unusual and, to some, contradictory. She explained that she observes pardah inside her home and avoids appearing before service professionals such as plumbers or electricians. She added that she maintains pardah in front of her brother-in-law as well. The only exception, she said, is when she appears on camera, where she does not wear a full veil.
After the clip spread widely, criticism poured in, with many accusing her of applying pardah selectively and inconsistently. Some argued that her public presence without a veil contrasted sharply with the rules she said she follows privately. Others questioned why camera appearances were treated differently from in-person interactions.
In a new podcast released this week, Dr. Nabiha addressed the backlash directly. She insisted that she has been truthful about her practices and does not regret the comments that ignited the controversy. “I stand by my statement and I do observe pardah at home,” she said, emphasizing that her critics were taking her remarks out of context and using them unfairly against her.
She also clarified that the viral clip was recorded before she got married. Since then, she noted, her public appearances often include her husband, which she said changes the context of how she presents herself. According to her, this distinction is important in understanding why she may appear differently now compared to earlier recordings.
Despite the criticism, Dr. Nabiha maintained that her pardah choices are rooted in personal conviction, not public expectation. She argued that online reactions have focused more on policing her behavior than understanding it. “I have not lied,” she said, reiterating that her lifestyle and her statements remain consistent with her beliefs.
As conversation continues to swirl around her comments, Dr. Nabiha Ali Khan appears determined to hold her ground. For now, she remains one of social media’s most talked-about personalities, navigating a spotlight that shows no signs of dimming.
