Today in 'wait, what?' — Mahira Khan's cigarette replaced by chocolate shake in a Pakistani cafe ad
Karachi-based Cafe Liquiteria, inspired heavily by Alok Nath (of Hindu traditions fame), recently decided to take matters into their own hands and fix Mahira Khan's image

So.You thought Baba Ramdev was the king of promotions and the Patanjali franchise could make anything sell?Well think again, because we present you with this —[caption id="attachment_4086597" align="alignnone" width="825"]

With penis-having person? Wearing dress above your knees? Hai Tauba!)Unsurprisingly, the cafe's publicity gimmick was met with some severe backlash by the Tweeple, mostly criticising the eating joint (because apparently not all publicity is good publicity).For Khan however, the entire fiasco just adds insult to injury, opening her up to be the butt of further jokes — because her entire act was just so despicable in the first place! (How can a woman smoke and go out with a person belonging to the male species and wear short clothes all in one night!?!)Alas, Cafe Liquiteria is the hero that Mahira Khan deserves, but (probably) not the one she needs right now.Here's the original picture of the notorious Mahira Khan with the innocent-because-he's-a-man Ranbir Kapoor sharing two cancer sticks together.[caption id="attachment_4086771" align="alignnone" width="825"]
