“Never liked this guy and now I hate him even more.”
Khaqan Shahnawaz is being criticised for his recent eyebrow grooming video.
Khaqan shared the unconventional video on his Instagram, sparking controversy among his followers.
The footage showed him having his eyebrows threaded, followed by snapshots showcasing the outcome.
In Pakistan, the plucking of the eyebrows has been associated with femininity.
Moreover, this act has been deemed ‘haram’ for both men and women.
Fans expressed dissatisfaction with him having his eyebrows threaded, citing religious concerns and questioning his decision to publicise the procedure.
Some social media users asserted that eyebrow threading is considered inappropriate in Islam, particularly for men.
One user asked: “Such a feminine behaviour, are you even a man?”
Another stated: “It is haram for men to pluck eyebrows in Islam.”
One wrote: “Never liked this guy and now I hate him even more.”
Another demanded: “Bring back masculine men, what is this?”
While some people defended Khaqan’s right to personal grooming, others criticised the perceived violation of cultural norms.
The video has been raising broader questions about masculinity, religious observance, and the influence of social media.

Others defended Khaqan’s grooming habits.
One person asked: “Why are people mad about a man taking care of himself? Please grow up already.”
Another pledged: “Leave him alone, at least he knows how to take care of himself unlike many men out there.”
One wrote: “There is nothing wrong in grooming yourself when the only purpose is to look clean and better.
“Maybe all these men hating on him should learn from him.”
Another stated: “Pakistani celebrities facing backlash shows how many Pakistanis are unemployed because they have so much time to create online drama.”
As debates continue to unfold online, Khaqan Shahnawaz remains at the centre of scrutiny.
Many believe that Khaqan is redefining gender norms in Pakistan with this video.
He addressed the criticism head-on and commented:
“It’s not just about eyebrows; it’s about challenging the narrative.”
