Actress Hina Afridi hits back at critics over Nikkah jewelry

Actress Hina Afridi

KARACHI: Pakistani actress Hina Afridi has responded strongly to critics who targeted her over the jewelry she wore at her nikkah ceremony.

The actress recently appeared on the comedy show Hansna Mana Hai hosted by Tabish Hashmi, where she took part in various games and answered questions from the audience while also speaking about her marriage.

During the program, a female audience member asked Hina Afridi how she dealt with the criticism surrounding her nikkah jewelry.

Responding to the question, the actress said she paid little attention to the criticism. “If people didn’t like my jewelry, that’s their problem, not mine,” she remarked, adding that newlyweds are usually too busy with wedding rituals to spend time checking social media.

Tabish Hashmi also referred to a viral video from her nikkah in which she was seen jokingly demanding a monthly allowance of Rs500,000, business-class travel and other privileges from her husband.

Reacting to the clip, Hina Afridi said it is every woman’s right to ask for anything from her husband. She added humorously that people are still unaware of the demands she made off-camera. “If they hear those, they might be shocked,” she joked.

Pakistani host Tabish Hashmi trolls national cricket team

Renowned Pakistani host and comedian Tabish Hashmi took a humorous dig at the national cricket team following Pakistan’s heavy defeat to India in the T20 World Cup.

During his television program, Hashmi playfully criticized Pakistani players while also taking light-hearted jabs at the Indian cricket team and board. In a viral clip from the show, he remarked, “News is what shouldn’t happen; what happens all the time isn’t called news—and today was just such a day.”

He referenced commentators Mohammad Amir, Rashid Latif, and Ahmed Shehzad, saying, “They predicted what would happen, and indeed the unexpected happened elsewhere—like the USA defeating Namibia.”

Hashmi also mocked the national excitement over India’s win, noting that while the victory was celebrated in India, Pakistanis have become accustomed to such outcomes and were largely unfazed.

In a tongue-in-cheek segment, he applauded players Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam, and Shadab Khan for their underwhelming performances, highlighting the comedic approach to the team’s loss.

His commentary, blending satire with cricket analysis, quickly went viral on social media, generating laughs and discussions among fans.
