From Hania Aamir to Merub Ali: A Pattern?

Asim Azhar’s romantic journey has been under the microscope lately, especially with fans drawing comparisons between his recent breakup with Merub and his earlier relationship with Hania Aamir.

While his connection with Hania started light-hearted and was celebrated by many, their split took a turn for the worse, becoming quite public and messy, complete with indirect digs on social media and a flurry of online drama.

Fast forward to 2025, and Asim’s second public breakup is stirring up old discussions, with numerous netizens pointing out what seems to be a recurring theme in his love life.

Netizens Label Asim Azhar a “Red Flag” 

Right after Asim Azhar made his announcement, social media went into a frenzy, with users quick to label him a “walking red flag.” The phrase took off online as fans shared their passionate reactions.

One user chimed in, “Got it, bro is the actual red flag 🚩🚩.” Another remarked, “Mama’s boy, maybe you’re the actual problem.” The wave of criticism kept rolling in.

A particularly viral comment stated, “This is what happens when a mama’s boy can’t treat a woman right and expects a girl to follow everything his mother says. Such a red flag from Asim Azhar. First leading a girl on, saying he’ll marry her, then breaking up. I hope your mother finds you a maid she can play with.”

Others were quick to question the seriousness of his relationships, with one person asking, “Making relationships and then easily breaking them, is it a joke for you guys?”

Interestingly, users also brought up Hania Aamir’s spiritual journey this year, as she went for Hajj in 2025, which only added to the emotional contrast between the two exes. A trending comment sarcastically pointed out, “Hajj game v v strong 😭.”

As the chatter around Asim Azhar heats up, it’s clear that netizens aren’t viewing these breakups as private matters anymore. With two high-profile splits and a growing chorus of public reactions, the pressure is definitely on the star, both in his personal life and in the public eye.
