Pakistani actress Sana Javed is facing intense trolling on social media after a viral clip from a live show featuring cricketer Sarfaraz Ahmed sparked controversy. While Sana, who recently married cricketer Shoaib Malik, is often targeted online due to his past with Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, this time, the backlash has nothing to do with Sania.
What happened?
Sana Javed recently appeared as a guest on a television show alongside former Pakistan cricket captain Sarfaraz Ahmed. During a segment called “Dabba Khol,” Sarfaraz preferred to play at a slower pace, prompting Sana to mock him by saying, “You’re speaking as if someone has wound you up like a toy,” while making exaggerated expressions.
Sarfaraz responded, “I played where I was supposed to,” to which Sana quipped, “I can play however I want with my husband.”
Fans outraged
This exchange did not sit well with Sarfaraz’s fans, who criticized Sana’s tone and attitude. Many social media users called her behavior “disrespectful” and accused her of being rude. Some even demanded that she be banned from live shows.
One fan wrote, “She has become too arrogant after marriage,” while another commented, “This is just unnecessary attitude.”
Ongoing trolls and criticism
Sana Javed has been a frequent target of online trolling ever since her wedding to Shoaib Malik. Fans of Sania Mirza continue to take jabs at her, and now, Sarfaraz Ahmed’s supporters have joined in, further fueling the controversy.
With the backlash intensifying, it remains to be seen if Sana will address the criticism or let it pass.
