As the Hum Awards came to an end, Mehwish Hayat shared a video from her dance rehearsals featuring Ahsan Khan on her social media:
Setting the stage alight with the fabulous @Ahsankhanuk at the 7th Hum awards rehearsals. Together after 5 years! If you think this is hot… just wait till you see the final performance. 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/UhaRj0z6Aa
— Mehwish Hayat TI (@MehwishHayat) October 7, 2019
And while Mehwish was really excited to share the rehearsals, the internet wasn’t really ready for it:
Wow great portrayal of Islamic republic of Pakistan ! 👏🏼 well done.. you deserve another award for promoting how modern and inspired you are from Bollywood actresses!

Vulgarity at its peak!!!

Ummm, trying to find the logic here:
Wo jo paida hoty hi qatal krde jati thi..
Aaj wohi aurat deen Islam se azadi chahti hai !!#ShameOnYou #MehwishHayat https://t.co/bP0lHVslIJ— Its_U〽️ar (@UmarArifKhan4) October 8, 2019
Of course there was the mention of the riasat-e-Madina:
ریاست مدینہ ، آپکا لباس اور تمغہ امتیاز…

Wait, what?
Men and women dancing together is absolutely haram in all cases, except when a wife dances in front of her husband. The reason behind this prohibition is that with mixed dancing bodily contact is close and improper sexual desires are aroused.#MehwishHayat

Not sure if sarcasm or tharak?

Some more jokes about Sitara-e-Imtiaz were made:

Some figured out she was a ghadaar because of the clothes she was wearing:
غدار وطن @MehwishHayat

You tell us behen?
Where has your dressing sense gone😁

And then there were body shamers:
Ap moti hogai hain😱

Aray, kehna kya chahtay ho bhai?

Okay, Nimra:
One award in besharmi and cheapness is for u

Some legit didn’t like the choreography:
A total lack of choreography. For how long are we going to do exercise in the name of dance?
— A member of public. (@amemberofpub) October 8, 2019
You might not like it but the choreography is over complicated. Why can’t you Pakistani artists keep it simple and concentrate on the flow instead 🤷🏻♂️
— IMRAN 🇵🇰 KHAN (@KingYKazmi) October 7, 2019
And while many were busy arguing on clothes, weight and awards, there were some who genuinely loved her performance:
Looks amazing in rehearsal so the finale will be just wow 🤩
— Mushtaque Ali (@ali_bhellar) October 7, 2019
Many came forward to defend her:
جو ناچ رہا ہے وہ بھی پاکستانی ہے,
اسکو کچھ نہیں کہیں گے کیا

Some found the performance to be energetic, which it was:

Shots were fired!

Loving the sarcasm here:

Yeh cheez!
That was absolutely stunning, keep working hard and making us proud. May God Keeps you in his blessings.😘😘

But regardless of what people said, Mehwish’s performance was one of the most loved performance at the Hum Awards:
