Pakistani television veterans Amber Khan and Sabahat Bukhari have come under criticism on social media after videos from an Eid gathering went viral online. The two senior artists, known for their long-standing contributions to Pakistan’s entertainment industry, were seen dancing during a festive celebration hosted by singer Ghazala Javed.
The Eid get-together brought together several well-known figures from the entertainment industry, including actors Adnan Jilani and Farah Nadir. During the event, Amber Khan and Sabahat Bukhari joined fellow guests on the dance floor and performed to popular songs, including Abrar-ul-Haq’s famous track “Nach Punjab” and the Bollywood hit “Laila Main Laila.”
Videos from the gathering quickly circulated across social media platforms, attracting widespread attention. While some users appreciated the celebratory spirit and saw the performances as a harmless expression of joy during Eid festivities, others reacted negatively and criticized the artists for what they described as excessive dancing.
Several social media users posted harsh comments about the performances, with some questioning whether such behavior was appropriate for senior public figures. Critics also expressed concerns regarding cultural and religious values, while others used the opportunity to make personal remarks about the actresses.
At the same time, a number of users defended the artists, arguing that individuals have the right to enjoy private celebrations regardless of age. Supporters maintained that dancing at a festive gathering should not automatically become a subject of public condemnation.
The incident once again highlights how celebrity activities can rapidly become the center of online debate in Pakistan, where social media often serves as a platform for discussions about entertainment, culture, and societal expectations. As the videos continue to circulate, reactions remain mixed, reflecting the diverse opinions of the online community.
