New Delhi:

Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has Instagrammed an apology for missing elections in her country after being savaged online. Yesterday, Mahira, 33, shared an image which suggested she was abroad - Pakistan is voting today. Called out, the actress then apologised in a separate post, explaining that work commitments had taken her out of the country. "And so with a heavy heart I will not be voting this year. I urge all of you to get out and vote!! May this year bring the change we all have been waiting to see. InshAllah. Pakistan zindabad," Mahira Khan wrote. See her post here:

 

 

Shortly before her apology, Mahira Khan shared a picture of her son in an undisclosed location which quite clearly is not Pakistan. 'Life, as I know it,' Mahira captioned the post. She was instantly flayed in the comments section for missing polling day. A #BanMahiraKhan call went up in the comments thread. Mahira has disabled comments on her apology post but angry users have returned to the previous post to point out to the actress that the election dates had been announced well in advance.
