Mishi Khan Under Fire After Supporting Maria B Against Turkan Atay
The entertainment world in Pakistan has been buzzing over the latest controversy involving famous designer Maria B and Turkish influencer Turkan Atay. What started as a simple collaboration has now escalated into a legal battle, and surprisingly, actress and TV host Mishi Khan has found herself in the middle of it — and not in the best light.
The Background: Maria B and Turkan Atay’s Collaboration Gone Wrong
A few months ago, Maria B collaborated with Turkan Atay, a well-known Turkish influencer celebrated for her modest fashion and elegant style. Turkan participated in promotional activities for the designer’s brand but soon found herself chasing the designer for her due payment. Despite multiple attempts, her payments remained pending for months.
Frustrated, Turkan finally took to social media, posting a heartfelt video sharing her side of the story. In her video, she expressed her disappointment and called out Maria B for not honoring her professional commitments. Maria B, on the other hand, didn’t stay silent and responded with her own version of the story. Things quickly spiraled, and now both parties are reportedly heading to court to resolve the matter legally.
Mishi Khan Steps In — And Faces the Heat
Mishi Khan, a veteran of the Pakistani entertainment industry and a close friend of Maria B, decided to openly support Maria during this heated dispute. Taking to Instagram, Mishi criticized Turkan Atay’s tone and behavior. She pointed out that Turkan, who wears a hijab and represents modest values, should not have used what Mishi described as a “rude tone.”
Mishi Khan went further to belittle the matter by referring to Turkan’s pending dues as “chaar paisay” (a small amount), suggesting that the influencer would have eventually received her payment and implying that her outburst was unnecessary.
Her comments, however, did not sit well with the public.
Public Outrage Against Mishi Khan’s Comments
Social media erupted with criticism against Mishi Khan’s remarks. Many fans and followers expressed disappointment over her insensitivity toward the situation. While some acknowledged their respect for Mishi as a public figure, they pointed out that a payment — no matter how small — must always be honored with integrity.
One fan commented, “We love you Mishi, but a payment is a payment. Maria B should have cleared Turkan’s dues on time.”
Another remarked, “It might be ‘chaar paisay’ for you, but it could mean a lot to someone else. Everyone deserves to be paid fairly.”
A netizen summed up the sentiment perfectly, stating, “Mishi, you are biased because Maria is your friend. But professionalism should come before personal friendships. Waiting three months for payment is unfair to anyone.”
Turkan Atay’s Response: Speaking Her Truth
Despite the growing pressure, Turkan Atay has remained firm in her stance. She insists that she has always represented Pakistan positively and with great respect. According to Turkan, speaking up for what is right should never be seen as disrespectful. She has vowed not to back down and continues to advocate for fairness and professionalism in influencer collaborations.
Where Things Stand Now
As it stands, the case seems to be moving toward a courtroom resolution. Meanwhile, public opinion leans heavily in Turkan’s favor, with many criticizing Maria B for the delayed payment and Mishi Khan for unnecessarily involving herself in a sensitive matter.
This controversy serves as a reminder that regardless of fame, professionalism and ethical conduct are crucial — especially when financial dealings and brand reputations are at stake.
For now, both Maria B and Turkan Atay are standing firm on their respective sides, and Mishi Khan will have to deal with the consequences of stepping into a storm that perhaps needed no additional thunder.
Final Thoughts
In the age of social media, celebrities and influencers must navigate their public actions carefully. While loyalty to friends is understandable, the importance of fairness, timely payments, and respecting professional commitments should always be upheld.
Mishi Khan’s involvement in the Maria B and Turkan Atay payment controversy has sparked important conversations about ethics in the entertainment and fashion industries — and it’s a conversation worth having.
