Popular actress and television host Hira Mani, widely recognized for her standout roles in dramas like Do Bol, Kashf, Sun Yara, and Mere Paas Tum Ho, recently sparked a lively discussion online after posting a candid family video on Facebook.
Known for her openness and authenticity on social media, Hira shared a glimpse into her everyday life with husband Salman Saqib Sheikh (Mani) and their two sons, Muzammil and Ibrahim. The clip, filmed casually at home, shows a lighthearted moment where Mani is seen playfully scolding one of their children over homework, while Hira, dressed down and without makeup, captures it on her phone.
While many followers appreciated the unfiltered peek into her family life, others turned their attention to Hira’s barefaced appearance. Social media reactions were divided — some criticized her natural look, labeling it “average” or claiming they didn’t recognize her without makeup. One user even commented, “Mani looks better than Hira without makeup.”
Others argued that public figures should avoid appearing makeup-free on social media. However, there was a strong wave of support for Hira as well, with fans applauding her confidence and challenging the unrealistic beauty expectations often imposed on women in the spotlight.
“This is what real life looks like. Appreciate her confidence,” one supporter commented.
The video has reignited broader conversations around beauty standards, especially for women in the entertainment industry, and the pressure they face to maintain a certain image at all times.
Despite the backlash, Hira Mani remains unapologetically herself — a quality that continues to earn her both admiration and criticism in equal measure.
