Pakistani television actress Naeema Butt, known for her breakout role as Rubab in ARY Digital’s hit drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, has found herself at the center of a social media storm. Her performance, especially alongside co-star Emmad Irfani, received praise, and she has also gained recognition through her roles in Jindo and Ehd-e-Wafa, as well as her work in theatre.
However, her recent appearance on ARY News’ Har Lamha Purjosh sparked backlash after she made controversial remarks about fellow actress Hania Aamir. During a light-hearted segment involving celebrity caricatures, Naeema was unable to identify Hania’s caricature. A fellow panelist correctly guessed the celebrity, prompting Naeema to respond with a sarcastic comment: “I don’t know Hania Aamir, although I’ve worked with her. But you never claim to know a person just because you’ve spent time with them.”
This remark did not sit well with viewers. Social media users quickly accused Naeema of being disrespectful and unnecessarily harsh. One fan commented, “She hasn’t come out of her character.” Another added, “She sounds too negative in real life.” Many speculated that Naeema harbored a personal grudge against Hania, with one user writing, “She got fame because of her and now fails to recognize her.”
Moreover, several fans called out her “mean girls vibe” and urged her to show more grace toward her colleagues in the industry. Despite her growing body of work and acting talent, this incident has cast a shadow on Naeema’s public image.
As conversations unfold online, it’s evident that celebrities are constantly under scrutiny, and even a few words can spark widespread reaction. Whether Naeema will address the backlash remains to be seen, but for now, her remarks continue to stir heated debate.
