Uzma Baig Faces Backlash After Viral Meeting with Ahad Raza Mir; Social Media Erupts in Criticism

Pakistani entertainment industry’s veteran actress Uzma Baig has found herself at the center of a social media storm after a viral video showed her warmly interacting with her former “Hum Tum” co-star Ahad Raza Mir at a recent event. The footage, which spread rapidly across platforms, captures Baig engaging in animated conversation with Mir before embracing him during their farewell – a gesture that has sparked intense debate about professional conduct in showbiz.

The incident has divided netizens, with critics arguing the physical contact crossed professional boundaries, while defenders maintain it demonstrated normal collegial warmth. “This kind of inappropriate behavior is becoming too common in our industry,” commented one Twitter user, echoing sentiments from conservative viewers. Others questioned the gendered nature of the criticism, noting male actors frequently hug colleagues without scrutiny.

Mir, known for his polite demeanor, appeared to reciprocate the interaction respectfully during their exchange. However, the video’s virality has reignited conversations about evolving social norms in Pakistan’s entertainment sector, where traditional expectations often clash with modern professional practices.
