Maya Khan Raid on dating couples
Maya Khan is the name that is buzzing and getting huge numbers of mentions right now on social media. The reason is her Morning Show that was aired on 17th January 2012 on Samaa TV.
The Morning TV show host Maya Khan along with her huge team (that consisted of show’s whole production team and several ladies) raided in Karachi’s parks to catch the couples who were reportedly dating in public parks. The idea was not bad but the way the TV host proceeded with the show and took all her “Aunty Brigade” on board to harass and trap the young couples was so disgusting that one can’t support such act. Here is one video from the show:
Update: Video has been deleted from Official YouTube Channel of Samaa TV
Here is an alternative link to the video:
Maya Khan didn’t only violate the individual privacy but also played the clips of young couple on national television, who requested to turn off the cameras. This lame act of Maya Khan has made her a new social media celebrity, who is being condemned by many social media activists in Pakistan.
This new development has also raised certain questions, the answer of which are still un-certain.
- Is dating illegal in Pakistan ?
- Does an unmarried couple have the right to go at public places such as parks, cinemas and restaurants?
- Is media playing good role by exposing the young couples who are dating in public parks ?
We fear that these kind of acts will further compress the freedom of our youth. It is also worth mentioning here that recently Po*n websites have been banned in Pakistan. Imposing this much restrictions and pressure on Youth may have some good benefits, but remember this can also backfire!
Let us know in the comments how do you see this act by Samaa TV Morning host Maya Khan.
Update: Maya Khan Fired by Samaa TV for raiding in public parks
“Played the clips of young couple on national television, who requested to turn off the cameras.” hmm… if they were clear from any guilt and they told their parents where they are going and not lied to them, then why they wanted camera to be turned off?
Why we are going for two extremes?

You’re missing the point mate. The point is “NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO ASK YOU OR I WHETHER WE ASKED OUR MUMMY PAPA BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.”
It is my right to be able to do as I wish, so long as I am not infringing on the rights of others and no the mummy daddy argument does not hold in a court of law after you are 18.
What I do is my business; mine alone. Period.
this was not right at all, i watched the show and the way there were making fun of couples, radiculus, is this left for Media to potray, advising to have date in some restutrant and not in parks otheriwse we will expose you in front of whole world and make fun of you, how can a TV channel who is gaining popularity can allow an host to do thing at such level
what the bull shit is it? it is the violation of fundamental rights and privacy of citizens. atleast samma tv should care of this. Mayya khan remember the days which you used to pass in this kind of dates but no one distrubed you….

who the f*** are they to comment on what they are doing … go f***ing mind ur own business u w***es !!!
If you have a mic and a camera, that doesnt mean you can invade anyone’s privacy and make fun of them , or humiliate them , and its none of her or samaa’s damn business, one should look into the mirror before pointing the black fingers on others….
Really very disgusting, cheap lady!!! There seems to be no intension of reforming anyone.
there are many programs which are unethical, immoral for the society but people want to watch these shows.if any wants to minimise the bad happening in society he/she must adopt the other ways.
The writer is trying to make it sound less serious then it is by many others on the social media for following reasons:
1. Maya and her team are lying on the camera.
2. She along with aunti-brigade are trying to judge other people specially youth based on their own assumptions, level of understanding and access to information and thus are getting carried away by that.
3. Maya is running around in front of the camera in the park as you see which itself is not a modest thing.
4. At one point, some stupid ladies try to ‘catch’ a certain victim.
5. This is a social, religious and legal level crime of harrasment, public disorder, defaming and accusing the youth shown and youth in general and so on and on.
Just imagine, if “Maya” was on that bench. She just met a boy in the office. She decided to meet him in the open place to know more about him so that they can decide whether the boy should consult with his parents and then move on for a marriage. The camera-driven nasty woman with her brigade jumps in. Zoom in. “Maya” is on tv! and she is found out. When she goes back home that evening, she finds out she is on a dead end. Now it is a life full of accusations about her character, a possible suicide or a useless life with an instant rishta and erased out of the hearts of the parents because what shame she has brought back home through that TV encounter.
Bunch of sick mentality ladies who have nothing else to do ,invading other’s privacy, who the hell is Maya khan to judge about other’s character.
What Maya Khan did and SAMAA allaowed her to do is just not right. It is time that the champions of ‘Human Rights’ and those who play politics in the name of ‘Youth’ must come forward, or forced to,and define their position on this and all such issues. I want not one or two but numerous petitions in the Supreme Court of Pakistan to take this up and provide us the protection from violations of ‘Human Rights’. Let this be an occasion to make this clear that what a grown up person is doing with who is none of anybody’s business except the two concerned as long as the public space is not converted into a bed room.
It was plain and simple audacious, abhorrent and disgraceful on part of this pathetic TV anchorperson and her accompanying vice brigade comprising some despicable aunties, to imbark on invasion of other’s privacy under the guise of piousness and so called media freedom.Are the poor Pakistanis now going to be subjected to this kind of shameless atrocity just to give boost to their program ratings. Pakistan’s media and partcularly the print media certainly needs to observe a code of ethics, either to be developed by themselves on immediate basis and if they fail to do so themselves, the Government should impose one on them. The owners of Samaa TV, if they have any conscience or character, should dump Ms. Khan in the trash bin where she belongs.
Who is this Urooj?????? running behind the couples??????????? Girl friend of Dr, Moiz (Famous Mind Sciences). Date all the time with Dr. Moiz who is already married …. these are just bunch of bas***ds.
great show.. must continue..
i dont know why people are reacting against it.. if it was your daughter or sister doing these acts.. would you like to stay in the dark…?
strangest thing is these idiot 3 women are talking about ISLAM are not covering their own selves !!!!
i agree with nausheen about Urooj ! and have seen all this .
The anchor and crew of the program are trying to get more viewership by this nonsense act. This is bad!
The writer (of this article) and majority of the audience here are just presenting their opinions (mostly in opposition) without considering our social, moral and religious values. This is also bad!
The anchor does not have any right to record/telecast any person without their permission. This is against the privacy of the person according to the social laws of modern world.
On the other hand, most of the audience here are not looking to the other part. The friendship of opposite sex is not allowed in Islam, in fact it is haram. According to our social, moral and religious norms there is no scope of such activities in our society.
The questions raised by you are also misleading:
- Is dating illegal in Pakistan? Dating is illegal in Islam so is in Pakistan. Yes it is illegal if you are following Islam.
- Does an unmarried couple have the right to go at public places such as parks, cinemas and restaurants? There is no concept of unmarried couple in Islam. You are not allowed to meet any نا محرم! Neither in public nor in private. Except some exceptional cases, which does not fall under this subject.
- Is media playing good role by exposing the young couples who are dating in public parks? As I said above, they are not doing it for good, but to get more viewership.
Maya you should be ashamed of yourself. Bullsh**. Who da hell are you that you interfair in other’s life.

‘WE ALL R VERY GOOD LAWYERS OF OUR MISTAKES AND VERY GOOD JUDGES WHEN IT CONCERNS OTHERS’.
MAYA BIBI,
GHEEBAT(BACKBITING) IS WHEN U TALK ABOUT FAILING / WRONG DOING / FAULTS ETC OF SOMEBODY. IT BY THE WAY IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN ISLAM. AND AS FAR AS MY KNOWLEDGE GOES THIS OR SUCH A SIN IS WITH REF TO HAQOOQ UL EBAD, (RIGHTS OF PEOPLE), AND IN SUCH CASE EVEN ALLAH ALMIGHTY DOES NOT PARDON U, UNTIL THE AGGRIEVED PARTY FORGIVES U. THINK OVER IT BEFORE U NEXT SERMON ON VALUES.
laanat ha maya khan tm pr, kabi akelay beth k sochna k tum kia ho. or darro us waqt sy jab tm kisi k sath pakri jao, or sara media tumhary peshay ho
Media……. Maya Khan…… Samaa TV. All bull shit. Why Maya didn’t showed what she has done to become a celebrity. Why samaa TV is not conducting any program where “AWAM” can be a participant in front of these corrupt politician. The only thing these people can do is criticizem and Harassment.
