Dubai: Social media influencer Samia Hijab has stirred controversy after claiming her clothing is getting shorter because of the “mindset of the Pakistani people.” She said the nation’s attitude has pushed her away from home and blamed both society and the government for their treatment of her.
Viral Video Causes Stir
In a viral short clip, Samia expressed deep disappointment with how Pakistanis have treated her. She said the nation forced her to struggle abroad, alleging that the public and government share the same “toxic mentality.” Speaking emotionally, she stated, “From the inside, they’re all the same.”
Samia added that although she is a woman, Pakistanis treated YouTuber Rajab Butt similarly, forcing him to leave the country. She accused both society and authorities of mistreating them and claimed they are “in it together.”
Life Abroad and Emotional Struggles
The TikToker revealed that she currently lives abroad, frequently moving between countries and staying away from her mother. She said Rajab Butt faces the same situation, struggling to settle due to constant public criticism. Samia’s statements have drawn mixed reactions online, with many questioning her accusations while others sympathized with her experiences.
Controversial Statement on Clothing
Samia asserted that her outfits are becoming shorter each day not by choice but due to the collective mindset of Pakistanis. “It’s not my fault. It’s the nation’s fault,” she said. Her remarks sparked intense online debate over personal freedom, cultural norms, and social judgment in Pakistan.
Active on Social Media
Currently based in Dubai, Samia Hijab continues to share photos and videos on Instagram but has made her TikTok account private. Despite criticism, she remains one of Pakistan’s most discussed social media figures.
