The daters were paid actors, claims Maya

The infamous vigilante morning show host, Maya Khan on Monday claimed in a talk show on Express News channel that all the subjects of the show in question where she raided a park with her team in her attempt at moral policing were ‘paid actors’.
It is pertinent to mention that Maya Khan was fired from her company after hosting a highly controversial television show where she raided a public park to catch ‘dating couples’ unaware and question them over immoral practices.
The programme sparked strong condemnation from various quarters, and several petitions were filed against the company seeking strong action against the controversial morning show host and an unconditional apology.
The new twist in the tale brings up some serious questions with regards to the extent the media has a right to infringe on the privacy of others.
Reality shows in other countries, including neighbouring India, have gained much currency, jacking up the ratings of the respective shows. However, it also highlights some serious concerns.
Saad Khan, a student of Punjab University said, “This is a serious case of deception. It is not for the media to invade the privacy of the people, and even if they didn’t it resulted in spreading panic among the masses.”
Yasmin Wahab, a teacher at a private institution said, “Media should ensure that there are strict guidelines on how to conduct television shows. By not doing so, it is not only compromising the integrity of an institution but also casts doubts over the truth behind their stories and reports.”

    • Maya khan did a good job. She tried to high light a sensitive topic. Our society is hypocrte. Double standard. She was not suppose to ask for apology

    • and who in this world gave you the right to call someone a bitch .. shows your wonderful upbringing and class .. love to point fingers at others but doing the same

    • and i have one question for you have you never pointed finger at anyone be it your neighbour , your relatives your colleagues or people walking on street you dont even know .. have you never said look at him/her what he/she is wearing ? so and so have this domestic issue and i can qoute several examples .. we dont hold a clean chit too so forgive and forget

  1. A new drama prepared by Maya and Express News provided her a stage . But the only question is, has she never ever been on a date?? She is nothing but a third graded LOOSER.

  2. then she committed fraud on her viewers,she fooled them,tricked them by hiding the fact that she was doing a fake show,she passed it off as a real ”live” show where she was supposedly ‘searching’ for ppl to catch when in reality she had placed the ppl there herself and did a drama to fool her viewers.

  3. the show was fake,, Maya khan did not spoke a word about the Hired actor and actress in Sochta Pakistan with Moeed Pirzada on PTV.And secondly it is not about Maya specficaly it is about the conduct of media .. After all media has done wrong she should suffer and should be kicked out from media …..

  4. and secondly , if it was planned and all the people were shown in programme were paid actors and actresses , the prog became a reenactment and dramatized. but nothing was told to audience thorough any tag on side screen. and after more than a month MAYA KHAn is telling us about this fat lie. Does maya khan think we are stupid enough to believe her and so does kamran,,,,, FAKE FAKE FAKE ,,, and another lie

  5. That’s a desperate attempt to come back why she did not say that at first place. There is no difference in her statement and Waheeda shah press conference in which two faked women in burqa were introduced as paid actor as if they are presiding officer.

  6. Phir toh ghareeb awaam aur aamil baba etc bhi jo Maya khan k show mei atey they woh bhi paid actors hon gey… hmmm via (@faizanlakhani)

  7. Lier

    Yes she paid daters but after her band was beaten by media nd nation.She paid them to clearify her fame..

  8. WHY EVERY BODY IS RUNNING AWAY OF MAYA KHAN THERE IS MEDIA FREEDOM SO MANY SHOWS LIVE BROADCAST ON SCREEN AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA AND EVEN WE CANT WATCH ALONG WITH FAMILY MEMBERS BUT EVERY BODY IS CRITICIZING OVER MAYA KHAN STOP THE LOBBY AGAINST MAYA KHAN SHE IS GENIUS AND DON WITH KEEN WHICH SHE TOOK AS AN ISSUE SHE IS RIGHT AND SHOWN WHAT SHE FELT. ALL THE OBJECTORS ARE BELONG TO DATERS DATERS DATERS.
    MAYA KHAN DO NOT FEEL GUILTY YOU HAVE DONE GOOD JOB.

  9. What else can be expected in a corrupt society. Journalists and media personnel are members of the same society .

  10. Maya Khan we are with you what you done was wronge or right but after watching front line we realize that what u did was not a murder or a great sin,,,,its just a fault and the big big thing wad that u apologised,,we guys here in London appriciated you with bottom of our hearts…..

  11. Okay, Maya you had played with your viewers and making us fool, now I am thinking that your and all other morning shows using fake unknown actors and playing with our hearts making us stupid believers. I am very afraid to write this, maybe tomorrow Express will tell that was a fake Maya Khan and appears just in Express just for some money. You have play enough and enough is enough, I wish you got divorce soon. And all morning shows should be banned in Pakistan, as in this way you are growing American & Indian cultures we all know program Good Morning America. You want us to see you in morning and wait for you til next morning, and we shouldn't do prayers. Maya you did a very bad job, you should kicked out of the Media. Please included Express do not do any program on Maya. He has badly disgrace Pakistanis families, we don't believes any more on journals reports. You should be in court and face our country law. Because you has try to make us fool. There should be a western power behind you to making us dislike. Someone please report her in police and case against her in court. You was lying and you are lying and you are a liar.

    • Sana plz watch ur language .If u don't like her shows then don't watch them ,no one is begging u to watch.definitely you feel attracted to watch thats why u tune into her show…u pick what u like.

  12. She is probably telling a partial truth. Duplicity and fraud can be added to the charge of illegal persecution. If her producers and other administrators were in on the con being perpetrated on the public he/she/they should have also been sacked. People, we should conclude that Samaa TV shows fraud documentaries and lies to its viewers unless we receive proof to the contrary.

  13. Malik, you need to go back to grade school and learn some english before you attempt to write something in a language that you obviously cannot write ( and we cannot understand).
    On a separate note. Is Maya Khan related to Rehman Malik? Both of them seem to keep changing their stories.

  14. Maya Khan – we know your history of affairs with married men. Hypocrisy to the hilt – You drama queen. Join Veena Malik – you two will make a great pair.

  15. What i am surprised for is not what maya did but what we as people are doing. we are saying that she is invading people’s privacy but can you tell me why the hack did we became so shameless to defend an unethical act @dating. shame on us not on her.

  16. Maya Khan is a good bold anchor of pakistan. She never knows about its reaction of young generations of Pakistan. She wants to awareness of parents like rural area even they never knows about the modern society. Whereas the young generation takes very negative react. The last night Maya Khan also Aplogise but my assessment as a brother as a father that she takes very bold and positives steps regarding our society. We want to see maya again in tv.

  17. She has damaged our society first by Privacy violation and now she is trying to coin some lies to twist. Just shut up lady…….

  18. Crying crocodile tears and coming up with a ridicules story to cover her a** , It is just a stunt to get her job back.

  19. @ Malik
    The point is she has no right to intrude privacy..why??
    becuase she herself come on a morning show with all the makeup and showing her nice clothes and beauttiful hair and dancing is not allowed in Islam…If she wants to teach people what is right or not right Islam..she should first set an example and start wearing Burqa…Non sense..it is easy to blame others…nonsense

  20. it becomes curiouser and curiouser…so i thought the producers of her show claimed to be unaware of the content of the show? does this mean she's supposed to have paid all those actors out of her own pocket? that would be extremely unusual. and if she didn't then the producers were aware of what was going on because they would have dished out the funds. any way you look at it, they were messing around with the public. Aid and done the programme, the compere and the producers were wrong to do what they did.This country and its entire moral police should be dumped into the arabian sea

  21. Who told Maya to come on Kamran Shahid's show like this and say things which she could have said on the very next day when the whole episode began. If I were to advice Maya, I would have never suggested her to come on any show and say that all the daters were paid actors. It was bound to backfire and more depression for Maya when she will read all this on different website. May Allah help Maya.

  24. If they were paid actors all the more reason Maya should be black listed.we have to remain with in limits,anatomy of the human body is known to all of us but still we cover it.I think you have to draw a line and limit

  25. she is just lying to save her slef as well as the dating couples… Girls were paid actors… with abays's 😮 huh… lame excuses from all to save them selves… over days they all become frnds… ha aaha ah

  26. We don’t believe what Maya Khan said on the other day on Kamran’s show – sadly i seems that Mr.Kamran khan too has played role as a paid-actor to defend SHAM-MEDIA ANCHOR.

  27. she is very stupid…….
    maya khan sif anchor hay…..or usy apni limits ka pata hona chahy…ab wo apni yah safai paish kar rahe hay k wo sub paid actors tahy….1st thing k agar wo paid thay to usy apna show chamkany k leyay awam koo baiwaqoof nahi banna chahy tha agar wo real thaa to….shame on u maya…..
    apny ap koo khan kahte hoo….khan to dosroon ke ezat ka apny say zyada khyal rakhty han………shameeeeeeeeeee

  28. i thnk k galti insaan say he hoti hai maya nay achay kaam bhi kiye hain ,un achai kamon ka bhi zker kerna chhai,maya ki galti itni bari nahi k usay maaf na kia ja sakay ,maya we still love you aap k achay kaam ziyada hain ALLAH aap ki mushkil aasaan kary ameen

  29. Mayya khan you r a gooD job. . .kisi ka bhanda phorny k liay kuch b kia ja skta hai chahy wo acha hi Q na ho agr aap sachi ho to i’m with U Cary oN. . .

  30. i support maya for its work done for the society. Media and so called "civil society organisations" are not fair with her.

  31. She is culprit both ways……..she is breaching privacy if they were not actors one end or making fool of audience on the other given it was a reality tv show. Maya khan is just a loser both ways
