Veteran Pakistani actor Nayyar Ejaz’s TikTok dance video has gone viral, drawing mixed reactions from fans and sparking debate over celebrity behavior on social media.
Veteran Pakistani television and film actor Nayyar Ejaz has come under social media scrutiny after a recent TikTok video of him dancing to a global Afrobeat track went viral online.
Nayyar Ejaz, widely recognized for his powerful performances in dramas such as Laag, Dhuwan, Cheekh, Dour, and Janjaal Pura, and films including Na Maloom Afraad 2, Teefa in Trouble, and Baaji, is considered one of the most respected actors in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. He was recently appreciated for his roles in Dayan and Sanwal Yaar Piya.
In the viral TikTok video, the veteran actor is seen performing energetic dance moves to the song “Let Me Be” by Elvin Cena. He is seen expressing himself through rhythmic steps, hand gestures, and light-footed movement in sync with the beat, showing a more casual and playful side of his personality.

The video quickly gained traction on social media platforms, where it sparked a wave of mixed reactions from viewers. While some users appreciated his enthusiasm and freedom of expression, others criticized the performance, stating that it did not align with his established image as a serious and legendary actor.
Several users expressed disappointment, commenting that such content does not suit an artist of his stature. Some suggested that he should instead focus on storytelling or professional appearances that reflect his acting legacy. One user even raised concern in a sarcastic tone, questioning his well-being after watching the video.
However, not all responses were negative. A segment of fans defended the actor, emphasizing that he has the right to enjoy himself and create content of his choice. Supporters argued that as an artist, he is free to explore different forms of expression and should not be restricted by public expectations.
The incident has once again highlighted the ongoing debate around celebrity behavior on social media, where public figures often face criticism for stepping outside their traditional roles or expected personas.
