Co-star Durefishan
Ali Gul Mallah, known for his popular dialogue “Bhale,” sparked controversy when he advised his co-star Durefishan Saleem to lose weight and start dieting.
The duo had previously worked together in the Pakistani drama “Ishq Murshid,” where Ali gained fame for his comedic role.
During a recent appearance on a private TV show, Ali was shown pictures of various celebrities and asked to offer advice.
Upon seeing Durefishan’s picture, he suggested that she should shed some weight, stating, “She is a little healthy, she should start dieting.”
However, the host intervened, affirming that individuals should embrace their bodies and feel comfortable in their own skin, emphasizing the importance of health over appearance.
Ali’s comments quickly stirred outrage among netizens and Durefishan’s supporters, who criticized him for body-shaming.
Many took to social media, particularly under his Instagram posts, to express their disappointment and demand accountability.
Some users urged Ali to show respect, particularly towards women, while others noted a decline in their respect for him due to his remarks.
Criticism escalated when Ali disabled comments on his Instagram posts, leading to accusations of evading responsibility.
The incident highlights the impact of public figures’ words and the need for sensitivity in addressing body image issues.
It underscores the importance of promoting body positivity and refraining from making hurtful comments that contribute to body shaming and negativity.
Moving forward, it is crucial for individuals like Ali Gul Mallah to reflect on their words and actions, fostering a culture of acceptance, respect, and inclusivity for all.
