Public demands Veena Malik & Mathira's Arrest for 'Vulgarity' f

“These ladies should be arrested for such content"

An episode of Mathira’s talk show, The 21mm Show, featuring Veena Malik as a guest, has sparked outrage on social media.

Viewers criticised the episode due to its bold and suggestive content.

The duo’s playful, yet controversial, exchange during a guessing game segment left many in shock.

The public deemed the content inappropriate for television and demanded legal action from the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA).

In the now-viral clip, Mathira blindfolded Veena and they proceeded to play a guessing game.

Mathira described random objects like a flashlight, pen, and carrot.

However, viewers felt her descriptions were filled with innuendos.

Critics accused the show’s creators of intentionally making the segment provocative, pointing to the clip’s thumbnail title – Mathira Sets the Mood.

Social media platforms were flooded with criticism, with users calling for PEMRA to ban the show.

One user remarked: “Such content can be ignored if published on social media applications.

“But telecasting such shows on TV should be condemned and banned because they are destroying the values of our society and the younger generation.”

Another commented: “This content is airing on a national TV channel which people watch with their families!”

Others echoed similar concerns, emphasising the responsibility of media figures to uphold cultural norms.

They requested to avoid broadcasting material that could negatively influence the younger audiences.

Some angry viewers went as far as to demand that the two be arrested for spreading vulgarity.

A user said: “These ladies should be arrested for such content, shame on you both.”

Another wrote: “PEMRA needs to shut this down ASAP.”

While some viewed the show as a publicity stunt, others expressed frustration over what they perceived as a growing trend of sensationalism.

One commenter said:

“They know what they’re doing. It’s all to grab attention.”

Veena Malik’s revelations about her personal life and failed marriage during the episode were overshadowed by the backlash.

Mathira addressed the controversy and, defending the segment, told critics to “grow up”.

The controversy also comes in the wake of previous scandals involving Mathira, including allegations of her private videos being leaked.

She denied these claims, stating they were videos created using AI.

While PEMRA has yet to issue a statement, its history of clamping down on “indecent” content suggests the regulatory body may soon intervene.
