An Instagram story posted by actor Ahad Raza Mir’s mother Samra Raza Mir has ignited intense speculation across social media platforms. Netizens are widely interpreting her promotional commentary for her son’s latest television project as veiled criticism of his ex-wife Sajal Aly’s ongoing blockbuster drama Zanjeerain.
Promoting Ahad’s new drama serial Aik Mohabbat Aur, Samra wrote on her personal account: “No blood. No revenge. No mukka bazi [fist fighting]. No conspiracies. Sirf aur sirf [Only and only] ‘Aik Mohabbat Aur'”.
While the former celebrity couple has maintained a dignified silence since their high-profile divorce, the specific phrasing of the endorsement immediately captured the attention of social media users.
Observers quickly pointed out that the themes of revenge, buried secrets, and bitter rivalries are central to the plot of Zanjeerain, the highly popular rival drama starring Sajal Aly.
Online community reacted swiftly to the post, with many labelling the narrative choice as unprovoked shade. One netizen commented, “Typical ex-mother-in-law behavior,” while another user questioned the nature of the remarks, asking, “Is she saying this about the drama of the writer who literally made her son’s career?”
Critics also called the statement unnecessary, with a commenter stating, “Itne petty kyu hojatay hain yeh loug? [Why do these people become so petty?]” and another adding, “Lol. Aunty please move on”.
Loyal fans immediately rushed to defend Sajal Aly and champion her television project. One supporter remarked, “Zanjeerein is a blockbuster comparing with any other drama would be unfair to zanjeerein. Sajal is exceptional”.
While a separate comment read, “Zanjeerain ka koi comparison nahi This drama is so damn lit [There is no comparison with Zanjeerein, this drama is so damn lit]”.
Neither Ahad Raza Mir nor Sajal Aly has commented on the viral social media discourse surrounding the post.
