LAHORE: Pakistan’s top actress Mehwish Hayat warned Pakistani born Canadian journalist for wrongly posting and sharing a video of a woman denying administration of the “anti-polio” vaccine here on Wednesday.
Tarek Fateh—Canadian author and journalist—shared a video on his Twitter account to tell his followers that a woman in was denying administration of “anti-polio” drops to her children at the doorstep of her house somewhere in Pakistan.
“Pakistani mother slams the door shut in the face of Polio workers. Screams at the two female volunteers: "I will never ever allow my children to take these drops.
Never never will my kids drink these drops. Never.",” he had tweeted. However, Mehwish Hayat responded to him quickly on Twitter, saying that the video he shared was of her two-year-old movie “load-wedding”. She asked him to set the record straight as it was just a filmy scene that had nothing to do with the reality.
She wrote: “Thank u for giving ur 2 cents on this but pls first verify the source b4 posting next time. It’s a scene from my movie” load wedding”, the polio worker is me & that woman an actress,”.
