Earlier, when people criticized Hayat for not representing Pakistani culture, actor Osman Khalid Butt came out in her defence and called out the bashers.

He told a ‘social media influencer’ who used derogatory remarks for the starlet to watch out for his language. The Surkh Chandni actor requested people to be civil in their criticism and not hurl abuses at actors.

Please. It's not too much to ask that you be civil in your criticism. No one is taking away your freedom of speech or your right to call out something you feel strongly against.
But that doesn't give you the right to tag someone and hurl obscenities & vicious abuse their way.
