A few days ago, Aiman Khan appeared on the first episode of a new season of Voice Over Man, a show where many celebrities often end up saying somewhat offensive things because of the kind of questions asked by the show’s host, Wajahat Rauf.
Because it’s a comedy show, Rauf, AKA Voice Over Man, tends to make provocative statements to see if celebrities take bait. Sometimes the guests come across as witty and fun-loving, other times they sound judgmental. Unfortunately, Aiman Khan’s episode gave room to some problematic statements.
As per the show format, Rauf deliberately asks problematic questions, such as “Do actresses lose their value after they get married? If not, then what things make women lose their value?” As one of his options, he asked if wearing small clothes like Faryal Mehmood or posting angry posts like Ushna Shah make women lose their value.
He then proceeded to make the following statement: “All heroines should get married because boys are running out.” To this Aiman replied, “I think if you take too long to get married, then you don’t end up getting married at all. There are so many actresses who are still unmarried.”
This is a fairly loaded statement because it suggests that all unmarried actresses lost their chance, and it also makes it sounds like being unmarried is a ‘bad’ thing.
In another segment of the show, Rauf asks her to give advice to her contemporaries. When he takes TikTok star Jannat Mirza’s name, Aimen advises her to wear less makeup.
The TikTok star has also responded to Aimen’s statements, saying that someone with a lot of makeup and surgeries should not be telling other people what to do.

The format of the show is infamously provocative and politically incorrect and celebrities know exactly what they’re walking into when they agree to be on the program. Several artistes have thus chosen to not participate. So those who do appear come with a responsibility of saying what they will. Voice Over Man’s questions can be responded to with equal quirk and mischief but without that ability, most artistes have the tendency of walking straight into the trap, especially when commenting on other stars.
Looks like Time Out with Ahsan Khan has some serious competition from Voice Over Man when it comes to which show will create more controversy!
