Falak Shabir and Sarah Khan are often regarded as one of the most loved celebrity couples in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. The couple, who are now parents to two daughters, recently became the centre of social media discussion after Falak made a statement about women’s clothing.
Falak reportedly requested the chief minister of Punjab to ban women from wearing short clothes or outfits that expose skin. He said his views came from the perspective of being a father of two daughters, adding that he did not want his children to be influenced by such dressing.
His remarks quickly drew mixed reactions online. While some supported his opinion, others criticised the statement and called it an attempt to police women’s choices. The debate grew further when actress Alizeh Shah responded to Falak’s remarks and brought up her past work experience with him.
Alizeh Shah, known for speaking openly, referred to her collaboration with Falak Shabir in the music video Yaadan. She claimed that Falak had cast her in the video and said she was made to wear short clothes despite feeling uncomfortable.
According to Alizeh, the styling for the video was handled by Sarah Khan, Falak’s wife. She also alleged that romantic scenes were included in the music video even though she had asked for them to be reduced.
Her response sparked further debate, as social media users began comparing Falak’s recent statement with Alizeh’s earlier claims about the music video shoot. Many questioned why such choices were acceptable in a professional project but were now being criticised in public.
Alizeh’s remarks added a new angle to the controversy, with several users accusing Falak of double standards. Others said celebrities should be careful when making public statements about morality, especially when their past work can be brought into the discussion.
At the same time, some fans defended Falak, saying people’s views can change after marriage and parenthood. They argued that becoming a father may have influenced his thinking and made him more protective about the environment his daughters grow up in.
Neither Falak Shabir nor Sarah Khan has publicly responded in detail to Alizeh Shah’s claims. However, the matter continues to attract attention online, with fans and critics debating personal choice, public responsibility and the role of celebrities in shaping social conversations.
