Samina Peerzada Usman Mukhtar
Pakistan’s finest and beloved veteran, Samina Peerzada has proved to be an absolute gem throughout her career on the silver screen. Not only that, Samina Peerzada’s show ‘Rewind with Samina Peerzada’ is undoubtedly one of the most popular intimate talk shows that features Pakistani celebrities.
However, Samina Peerzada is being critiqued for an interview with Usman Mukhtar, after an interview clip resurfaced on social media and has been getting quite a bit of negative attention
Around a year ago, Samina interviewed Usman Mukhtar who had just marked his acting debut on Television by starring in HUM Tv’s drama ‘Anaa’. A clip from this interview has thus been getting a lot of negative attention because of the ‘cringe’ oozing from the question asked.
Samina:R u nervous?
Usman: very.
Samina: kiyon? Dar lag raha hay?
Usman: No,it’s just like..you know certain people you keep seeing all your life, then you r sitting just rt to them.
Samina: tu Kia bachpan main crush tha mujh par?
Usman: No..Aaa..Samina! Seriously!! 🤦♀️🙈😬 pic.twitter.com/YsRoDrfOcj

People immediately spoke out that this question by Samina Peerzada to Usman Mukhtar was a a thinly veiled attempt, and a failed one at that, at flirting
Samina is bad at flirting with young men sounded very cheap 😐

She is gone mad … 😠
It’s very out of way in flirting …😳🤭😲— nasara.mirza (@MirzaNasara) August 19, 2020
Whereas others blamed it on the fact that the age difference between Samina Peerzada and Usman Mukhtar made the whole conversation especially cringe-worthy
Middle/old age syndrome hitting them really hard. 😔😔😔

Others said that there would’ve been a far bigger outcry if this was an older male celebrity asking a similar question to a younger female celebrity
They’re asking if the genders were flipped, many people would’ve been outraged over this conversation because of how creepy it is for an older celebrity to ask if their guest had a “crush” on them when the said guest had not even brought up that side of the conversation.
Creepy and cringeworthy. Reverse the genders and hear the noise. Tab tak khamoshi. Yes you too! https://t.co/Em0zBHymXl

Well, with Sameena Pirzada’s spotless past reputation, it is hard to understand that she may have been inappropriate. The reaction of the general public is a little concerning, nonetheless.
