Pakistani actress Durefishan Saleem has responded to social media trolling over her appearance in the popular ARY Digital drama Dar-e-Nijaat. Instead of reacting angrily to the criticism, the actress delivered a confident and sarcastic response that is winning appreciation from fans.
The controversy began after viewers noticed her arms and shoulders in a sleeveless outfit during episode 21 of the drama. Some social media users made inappropriate remarks about her biceps, while others shared digitally altered images exaggerating her muscles.
Why Is Durefishan Saleem Being Trolled?
Durefishan Saleem plays Zaryab in Dar-e-Nijaat, a drama written by Umera Ahmed and directed by Saqib Khan. The series also features Sheheryar Munawar and Nameer Nawaz Khan in prominent roles.
In a recent episode, Durefishan appeared wearing a sleeveless shirt. Some viewers focused on her physical appearance rather than her performance, triggering a wave of body-shaming comments online.
The criticism went beyond ordinary opinions about her look. Some users edited her photographs using artificial intelligence to make her arms appear unusually muscular and compared her with international wrestlers.
Others questioned her suitability for the role and made personal remarks about her femininity.
The incident has renewed discussion about the growing trend of body-shaming Pakistani celebrities on social media.
Durefishan Saleem Responds With a Sarcastic Caption
Rather than directly confronting her critics, Durefishan shared a video from her Lux advertisement on Instagram and added the caption, “Always P H A T, and that’s the tweet.”
Her playful response appeared to address the ongoing comments about her body while expressing confidence in her appearance.
The actress did not name individual trolls, but many followers interpreted the post as her way of refusing to let online criticism affect her self-esteem.
Fans Praise Durefishan for Her Confidence
Durefishan’s response has received appreciation from fans who believe celebrities should not have to defend their natural body shapes against unnecessary criticism.
Many social media users praised her for handling the situation with confidence and humor. Others expressed disappointment that people continue to target actresses over their weight, arms, facial features, and overall appearance.
The controversy also raises an important question about online behavior: why do discussions about Pakistani dramas so often turn into personal attacks against the actors?
Dar-e-Nijaat Continues to Make Headlines
Despite the controversy surrounding her appearance, Dar-e-Nijaat continues to generate conversation among Pakistani drama viewers.
