1.Mehwish Hayat criticized Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan
Mehwish had written against Priyanka Chopra after an encounter between a Pakistani blogger and Priyanka. The blogger accused Priyanka of encouraging war despite being Goodwill brand ambassador of the UN. For the uninitiated, the debate began after Piggy Chops tweeted 'Jai Hind' after Balakot airstrike, which was India's retaliation to Pulwama attacks.
In an opinion piece for a portal, Hayat had written, "This is where Priyanka Chopra and others have made a mistake: by lending their name to racism dressed up as patriotism, they have done us all a disservice," further accusing Bollywood of 'fuelling hate an islamophobia'. She also accused Shah Rukh Khan of promoting an 'anti-Pakistan' project through his upcoming Netflix series Bard of Blood, which features Emraan Hashmi in the lead role.
2.Mehwish Hayat was given Tamgha-e-Imtiaz in 2019

It is given to any civilian in Pakistan based on their achievements. While it is a civilian/Military award, it can be bestowed upon officers of the Pakistan Armed Forces and worn on their uniform. It can also be awarded to foreign citizens who have performed great service to Pakistan."
