"People waste no opportunity to tear down the arts and women in Pakistan. So of course, if a woman wins an award in the arts, all hell would break loose," Roy tweeted.
“U @MehwishHayat won the debate that followed & created an enabling environment for women from arts to come forward, & when they do, trolls will think twice,” the singer hit back at her haters.

Mehwish Hayat, who has starred in several Pakistani blockbusters including ‘Punjab Nahi Jaungi’, was awarded the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz on Pakistan Day, but her haters called out the actor as non-deserving of the civilian honour both leading up to and after the ceremony.
Hailing Roy’s tweet, Hayat called it a “watershed moment” for the industry.
It is so refreshing to see that sane voices still prevail. I think that this is a watershed moment. The industry needs to come together and fight this abuse that we are all subjected to. Lets make something good come from it. https://t.co/kqWvWseDJl
