Morning show host Nida Yasir, known for her controversial antics to boost viewership, has sparked outrage again, this time for an incident that left many viewers deeply upset.
During a recent episode, Yasir invited actress Momina Iqbal, who had recently lost her father, and posed a question that led Iqbal to remember her late father, resulting in a highly emotional moment.
A clip from the show circulating on social media shows Yasir seemingly intentionally asking Momina, who was accompanied by the cast of her upcoming drama, about a person whose absence still causes her pain. This inquiry, considering Momina’s recent bereavement, struck a nerve.
Realizing the sensitivity of the situation, Yasir attempted to shift the conversation while overemphasizing her empathy, which came across as insincere to many.
Her exaggerated efforts to appear compassionate while not entirely dropping the subject led to widespread criticism for prioritizing ratings over genuine concern.
Actress Tuba, also present on the show, intervened and requested Yasir to refrain from such probing questions. Eventually, Yasir concluded with some kind words for Momina.
However, the damage was done as viewers were left with the image of Momina’s teary eyes and the somber expressions of her male co-stars, highlighting the emotional toll of the incident.
