Pakistani showbiz industry’s leading actress and host Fiza Ali recently expressed her feelings openly on a controversial statement made by Nida Yasir on social media, which has given a new direction to the online debate.
The controversy started when the famous morning show host Nida Yasir said about food delivery riders on her program that some riders deliberately do not carry cash so that customers can tip them extra.
Many people took Nida Yasir’s statement as sensitive and disrespectful to the workers, as delivery riders perform their duties despite severe weather, rush and low wages in Pakistan.
Fiza Ali strongly criticized Nida Yasir’s behavior, saying that riders are not just workers who deliver food on time, but they are family fathers, sons and hardworking people who earn their livelihood in difficult circumstances. He urged people to treat people we use for our daily convenience with respect, compassion and courtesy.
According to Fiza Ali, riders work in dangerous traffic, harsh weather and long hours, and basic respect is their right.
Fiza Ali’s emotional statement also received overwhelming support at the public level, where social media users appreciated her words and participated in the discussion that the honor and dignity of every human being should be taken into account in society. Many people wrote that it is a big step when a famous personality stands up for ordinary workers and highlights their problems.
On the other hand, Nida Yasir also apologized after the discussion and said that her words were not intended to target an entire community but she was talking about her personal experience. She said that if her words hurt anyone, she apologizes and her intention was not to be rude or insult anyone.
Along with this, Nida Yasir’s husband Yasir Nawaz also came forward against Fiza Ali, who requested Fiza Ali not to target Nida Yasir further, because according to him, this matter is causing his “innocent wife” unnecessary controversy.
This issue has so far remained a topic of discussion on social media, where showbiz personalities, public activists and users are expressing their opinions. Some are in support of Nida Yasir’s position, while many are calling Fiza Ali’s statement correct in the context of respect, human dignity and social compassion.
Fiza Ali’s position is clear that she will not remain silent and will tell people that respect and compassion are not just words but also actions, be it in the world of social media or public discourse.
