Actor Ali Gul Mallah, renowned for his dialogue “Bhale,” advised his co-star Durefishan Saleem to lose weight and begin dieting.
Ali Gul and Durefishan worked in the Pakistani Hum TV drama “Ishq Murshid,” which gained significant traction. The actor became famous for his comedic role in the series.
Ali, who recently appeared on a Hum TV Channel show, was shown pictures of some celebrities and asked what advice he would give them.
Upon seeing Durefishan’s picture, he suggested that she should lose some weight. “She is a little healthy; she should start dieting,” said the actor.
However, the host intercepted Ali saying, “I think the way you are, you are absolutely fine.”
“As long you are healthy, you are fine and you should be comfortable in your skin,” he added.
However, netizens and Durefishan’s supporters reacted angrily soon after Ali Gul Mallah’s comments on her weight went viral. They started commenting under his Instagram posts.
“But also learn to respect ladies,” one of the netizens wrote. “I hope u learn to respect others asap,” another chimed in.
One of the users wrote: “My respect for you literally decreased. Never knew a public figure like you would body shame.”
“You turn off the comments but don’t have the courage to say sorry, which makes it even worse. Humanity on earth is so disgusting,” wrote another.
