Recently, Minal Khan has made headlines, but not for the kinds of things you might anticipate an actor would become popular for. The actor, who has become one of the most recognizable figures in Pakistani drama, hasn’t been able to avoid occasionally turning into a meme. As has been repeatedly demonstrated, Pakistani Twitter is as brutal as they come.
A puzzling coincidence with Khan’s Instagram story update last week caught the attention of social media users on the alert. Khan had screenshotted American model and reality TV star Kylie Jenner’s story and posted it as her own.
Khan initially responded to the memes with humor, but she was subsequently caught screenshotting an image from the photo-sharing website Pinterest and posting it without giving it proper credit. The memes started up again after only slightly declining earlier. But this time, the actor didn’t respond as everyone had anticipated.
Khan addresses the trolls in a brief note that she posts on her Instagram story. I’m using Instagram. I’ll post anything I want… Yes, I enjoy seeing images like this. Khan wrote, “And yes, I’ll keep posting. She challenged her trolls in her final message, saying she has no intention of changing the way she posts stories.
