Cyril Almeida Trolled Mehwish Hayat After Musharraf Verdict & She Clapped Back Like A Queen!

“Right. Now to the important business, what does Mehwish Hayat think of the verdict?” tweeted Cyril Almeida on Tuesday evening taking a dig at the superstar for her support to Musharraf.

This wasn’t the first time Cyril Almeida had trolled Mehwish Hayat on Twitter.

But that’s besides the point. Because the point is that Mehwish Hayat is a QUEEN and we’re not the only ones rooting for the class act that is this young superstar.

And of course, Cyril Almeida had to respond to Mehwish Hayat, even if it were only sheepishly.

For those still wondering “WTF,” here’s a quick summary: Mehwish Hayat has increasingly come under fire this year for supporting the PTI-led government and at times the “deep state.” Almeida has long projected himself as a fearless journalist fighting the deep state.
