Nida Yasir and Yasir Nawaz Express Disappointment and Backlash towards Haters

Nida Yasir and Yasir Nawaz, two renowned Pakistani celebrities, have recently been at the center of a social media storm following their Hajj pilgrimage.

The couple, who are well-known for their work in the entertainment industry, made headlines earlier this year by documenting their Hajj journey through vlogs and Instagram stories.

While their updates kept fans engaged, a significant number of people criticized them for their approach, arguing that their focus should have been more on worship (ibadat) rather than social media activity.

In response to the backlash, Nida and Yasir released a vlog on their YouTube channel where they directly addressed the criticism.

During the vlog, Yasir Nawaz prompted Nida Yasir to send a message to their detractors, particularly those who criticized them for taking selfies at Khana Kaaba and Masjid E Nabwi. Nida responded with grace, saying,

“I would pray for their guidance, what else can I say.” She also mentioned that she prayed by name for those who requested prayers.

The couple’s response has sparked further debate on social media. Some users appreciated their calm and composed reaction, while others continued to express their disapproval.

A segment of the audience argued that the couple should ignore trolls and focus on their spiritual journey. However, many social media users felt that the vlog itself was unnecessary and accused the couple of using their pilgrimage for content creation and personal branding.

One user commented, “You have to pray for the guidance of Nida first, then others.” Others criticized the couple for opting for an expensive VVIP Hajj package and using the trip to generate multiple vlogs.

Fans argued that both the trolls and celebrities need guidance regarding the appropriate use of social media during such significant religious experiences.

The discussion further expanded to broader themes of celebrity culture and social media behavior. A user pointed out, “Criticism and appreciation, both should be accepted by celebrities.” Another remarked,

“If you want to avoid criticism, stop posting things on social media.” These comments reflect a common sentiment that public figures should be prepared for mixed reactions when sharing personal moments online.

Despite the ongoing debate, Nida Yasir and Yasir Nawaz’s experience has highlighted the complex dynamics of social media, spirituality, and celebrity life.

Their Hajj journey, intended as a spiritual and personal milestone, has inadvertently sparked a conversation about the boundaries of privacy and public sharing in the digital age.

As the discourse continues, it serves as a reminder of the diverse perspectives held by fans and critics alike.

Nida and Yasir’s response to the situation underscores the importance of addressing negativity with positivity, even as it reveals the challenges celebrities face in balancing their public and private lives
