KARACHI: Pakistani actress and host Fiza Ali has once again come under scrutiny on social media, this time over a special programme aired on Labour Day.
On May 1, Fiza Ali invited individuals from various working-class backgrounds to her show to pay tribute to their contributions.
During the programme, she was also seen holding a shovel and recording a video reel alongside labourers, highlighting the importance of the working class.
However, despite the intended tribute, many social media users criticized the segment, calling it an attempt to gain attention rather than a genuine effort to honor workers.
Critics argued that instead of treating the labourers as respected guests, they were presented in a manner that appeared staged for ratings and online engagement.
Some users commented that the workers should have been invited and treated with dignity rather than being used for social media content, while others sarcastically remarked on the style of content creation.
Several voices also pointed out that if the aim was to truly acknowledge the contributions of labourers, the presentation should have been more serious and respectful.
While the video drew attention from fans, it also sparked widespread criticism, igniting a fresh debate online over the portrayal of workers and the ethics of content creation.
