Mishi Khan Demands Apology From Neha Swami Over T-Shirt Row

Television actor Arjun Bijlani and his wife Neha Swami are facing heavy criticism after Neha was photographed at a public outing in a t-shirt that critics said carried Urdu writing related to Prophet Muhammad. The images spread quickly, and what began as a fashion moment has grown into abuse, threats and calls for an apology.

Neha Swami has claimed she received threats and abuse after the pictures went viral. The row has pulled in voices from across the border, with Pakistani actress Mishi Khan posting a fiery reaction on Instagram.

Mishi Khan asks ‘Do you have any shame?’

Mishi Khan said she had seen a reel of the couple at a premiere with their children. Addressing Neha Swami directly, she said she was furious and demanded an apology from both Neha and Arjun. In the video, Mishi asked, “Do you have any shame?” and said she was so angry that if Neha had been in front of her, she would have lashed out.

Mishi also made a wider point about respect between communities. She argued that artists from her side had never spoken disrespectfully about another religion, and questioned whether respect for other faiths was taught to the couple.

Arjun Bijlani says the t-shirt was a fan gift

Arjun Bijlani has since issued a clarification. He said the t-shirt was gifted by a fan, and that he and Neha were not aware of the meaning and significance of the writing on it. “There was absolutely no intention to hurt, disrespect or offend the religious sentiments of any individual or community,” his statement read.

He also pushed back on the reaction, saying that while people may have strong feelings about matters of religious significance, the trolling, abusive language, curses and threats directed at Neha were deeply distressing and unacceptable.

What has happened so far

• Neha Swami wore the t-shirt at a public outing with Arjun and their children.
• Photos went viral and led to accusations of hurting religious sentiments.
• Neha Swami said she received threats and abuse.
• Mishi Khan demanded an apology in an Instagram video.
• Arjun Bijlani clarified that the t-shirt was a fan gift and said there was no intent to offend.

Why this row is a warning for public figures

For TV fans, this is another reminder of how fast a star’s public appearance can become a national argument. The incident follows a familiar pattern: a photograph goes viral, anger builds before the full context is known, and a family is left dealing with threats alongside the original mistake.

There is a practical takeaway here for anyone in the public eye. If a fan gift includes text in a script you do not read, it is worth getting it checked before wearing it out. And for viewers, disagreement is fair, but threats move the conversation away from the issue.
