Pakistani Celebs and their Most Controversial On-Camera Moments

We all get too intrigued by celeb controversies, don’t we? This time, it’s Pakistani celebs’ controversial moments (that too on camera!) that are stirring the pot.

From public outbursts to unexpected confessions, we’ll explore what keeps these videos trending. You think you know the whole story? Think again.

Culprit # 1: Meera Jee’s English Mishap

Meera Jee is the queen of viral content in Pakistan. Her on-camera struggles with the English language have always attracted masses from memes to mainstream media debates.

In one unforgettable clip, Meera attempted to deliver a heartfelt message in English, but things took a hilarious turn. The video blew up, shared across Twitter, Facebook, and every desi WhatsApp group imaginable.

Surprisingly? It didn’t hurt her. Meera has always embraced her unique persona, and this moment only added to her cult following. She’s proof that owning your flaws can sometimes be your best PR strategy.

Public & Media Reaction: While some fans laughed it off with love, others weren’t so forgiving. Media outlets picked it up instantly, with headlines like “Is Meera a National Treasure or a National Meme?”.

Culprit # 2: Yasir Hussain’s Award Show Slip

Remember when Yasir Hussain cracked a joke at an award show that didn’t quite land? It’s perhaps one of the biggest celeb controversies to exist to date.

During a live segment, he made an insensitive remark about child molestation. Yea…I wish I was joking. Apparently, it was in relevance to the protagonist character of Ahsan Khan that rapes a child in the drama series “Udaari” but regardless he should have read the room.

Of, course, the internet didn’t hold back. Celebs like Armeena Khan and others clapped back, while fans trended #InsensitiveYasir on X (formerly Twitter). Later on, Yasir issued an apology, but the damage had been done.

Even today, people bring up that moment when discussing his personality. A single comment, forever attached to his public image.

Culprit # 3: Hania Aamir & Asim Azhar’s Live Drama

Hania Aamir and Asim Azhar’s relationship drama unfolded like a Netflix series but on Instagram Live.

One particular clip where Hania denies being in a relationship with Asim (after months of public appearances together) broke the internet. Heartbreak memes flooded in and twitter wars overtook the internet. People took sides, dissecting every post and unfollowing.

Asim stayed silent for a while, eventually channeling the emotion into his music as well as posting a story statement after a while. Hania, on the other hand, faced major trolling. The good part? After some time, fans spotted Hania attending Asim’s concert and not caring about what people say.

Our national IT girl knows how not to get drama to her head, and maybe this is why she keeps giving us more masterpieces, nationally and internationally (like Sardaar Ji 3).

Culprit # 4: Mathira’s Unfiltered Opinions

Mathira is unapologetic and that’s exactly why she goes viral. Whether it’s calling out men on live TV or sharing bold opinions on relationships, she doesn’t hold back. One clip where she shut down a male caller for slut-shaming her became a feminist rallying cry.

While many called her “too much,” she said what needed to be said, but unfortunately still became controversial for having boundaries. Are we even surprised?

She’s now seen as a voice for body positivity and women’s autonomy but she’s still pretty controversial for many.

Scandal Culture and Our Role As Audience

We’ve seen it all! Awkward moments, foot-in-mouth syndrome and PR nightmares. These celeb controversies can crush reputations or boost them. Some recover gracefully. Others? Not so much.

But as digital audiences, we also have a responsibility. Our Pakistani celebrities are also humans just like us, so obviously, they will also have ups and downs. Let’s know better what to make viral and what PR bait is not worth it.
