Karachi(The COW News Digital)Pakistani actress and writer Aiman Khan has once again found herself at the center of public attention, this time not for her acting or writing projects but due to a dance video that has gone viral across social media platforms, sparking mixed reactions and criticism.
The video, originally shared on TikTok, shows Aiman Khan dancing to the iconic Bollywood song “Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai,” famously performed by Indian actress Madhuri Dixit. In the clip, Aiman is seen wearing a burnt orange and bright pink lehenga paired with a short choli. According to fans, the outfit was part of her recent bridal wardrobe looks, adding further visibility to the video.
In the caption accompanying the video, Aiman Khan expressed her long-standing admiration for Madhuri Dixit, particularly praising her classic lehenga choli style. She wrote that a burnt orange lehenga choli has always symbolized her love for Madhuri, calling herself a lifelong fan of the Bollywood star.
However, while some social media users appreciated her confidence, dance performance, and tribute to a legendary actress, the video also triggered strong criticism. Several commenters accused Aiman Khan of copying Bollywood culture and adopting what they described as a “bold” dressing style that does not align with traditional expectations of Pakistani actresses.
Critical remarks flooded the comment sections, with some users claiming that modesty is disappearing from the local entertainment industry. Others argued that contemporary actresses are increasingly seeking attention through controversial content rather than focusing on meaningful performances. A few comments went as far as questioning whether such content was appropriate for a mainstream Pakistani celebrity.
On the other hand, Aiman Khan also received support from fans and fellow artists who defended her right to express herself creatively. Supporters pointed out that dance is a form of art and personal expression, and that comparisons with Bollywood should not automatically lead to backlash. Many highlighted the double standards often applied to female celebrities, where their choices are scrutinized more harshly than those of their male counterparts.
The viral video has once again reignited a broader debate on social media about cultural boundaries, personal freedom, and evolving norms within Pakistan’s entertainment industry. As discussions continue, Aiman Khan has not yet issued any formal response to the criticism.
For now, the video remains widely shared, keeping the actress firmly in the spotlight and underlining how quickly social media trends can turn personal expression into national debate.
