Hareem Farooq, the acclaimed Pakistani actress, producer, and television host, has been at the center of controversy following a recent behind-the-scenes video from the HUM Awards. Known for her impressive acting performances and captivating screen presence, Farooq enjoys a substantial fan base, with over 3 million followers on Instagram. She has earned widespread recognition for her roles in dramas such as Sanam, Mere Humdam Mere Dost, Diyar-e-Dil, Main Khayal Hoon Kisi Aur Ka, Dusri Bivi, and Bismil. Currently, she is receiving praise for her performance in ARY Digital’s Sharafand.
However, the actress found herself under intense scrutiny after a BTS video from the HUM Awards rehearsal was shared on the channel’s official Instagram page. The video showed Farooq in a white cotton kurta paired with heavily ripped denim jeans that exposed her knee. Her choice of attire, a casual and unconventional combination, sparked severe backlash from some viewers, who took to social media to criticize her fashion choice.
The backlash came swiftly, with many commenting negatively on the look. One user wrote, “We should follow fashion that actually looks good on us.” Another criticized her appearance, saying, “It seems like she was attacked by stray dogs.” Some comments were even more disparaging, with one remarking, “She only needs a begging bowl here,” and another bluntly stating, “She is showing us her black knee.”
Despite the negative comments, there were also many fans and supporters who defended the actress, recognizing that fashion is subjective and that Farooq should be allowed to express herself through her personal style. However, the level of public backlash she faced highlights the ongoing debate about fashion choices in the public eye and how individuals, particularly celebrities, are often held to certain standards of appearance.
The BTS video, which was meant to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the HUM Awards, has instead become the focal point of heated discussions about body image, fashion, and celebrity culture. While many criticized Farooq’s outfit, it also raised questions about the pressure placed on public figures to conform to conventional beauty standards and the judgment they face when they step outside the box.
