Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat’s Zombie Video Falsely Linked to Marka-e-Haq Celebration
Published On 19 May, 2026
Claim:
A viral video showing Pakistani actors Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat with performers dressed as zombies is being shared with the claim that it was part of the Marka-e-Haq anniversary celebration.
Fact:
The claim is false. The video is not related to Marka-e-Haq or any military celebration. It was recorded at an Atif Aslam concert, where Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat appeared to promote their upcoming movie “ZOMBEID.”
Background
On 10 May 2026, social media users shared a video of Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat standing on stage with zombie performers in the background. Some users claimed the performance was connected to the first anniversary of Marka-e-Haq, Pakistan’s 2025 military conflict period with India.
The video was also shared by journalists and political pages, with captions questioning whether a zombie-themed performance was held during Marka-e-Haq events.
What Actually Happened?
A review of the actors’ social media posts shows that the video was from a promotional appearance for the film ZOMBEID.
On 9 May 2026, Mehwish Hayat posted pictures from the same event, where she and Fahad Mustafa can be seen with the same zombie performers. Her caption referred to the upcoming movie and stated:
“Zombies ne hamein chaaron taraf se ghair liya hai! Get ready for ZOMBEID this Eid ul Azha.”
Fahad Mustafa also posted content from the same night. Other social media clips identified the event as an Atif Aslam concert at Moin Khan Academy, Karachi, held on 8 May 2026.
Verification
There is no evidence in the viral video showing Fahad Mustafa, Mehwish Hayat, or anyone else mentioning Marka-e-Haq. The available posts and captions clearly show that the actors were attending the concert for film promotion, not a national or military celebration.
Conclusion
The viral video has been misleadingly linked to Marka-e-Haq celebrations. In reality, the clip is from an Atif Aslam concert, where Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat promoted their upcoming movie ZOMBEID.
Verdict: False / Misleading
