Pakistani actress Sajal Aly has captured the hearts of many Korean fans on X in recent days, though one update about her personal life left them in shock.
They call her “Sajal unnie” and “Yoon-din,” a playful nickname inspired by Heo Yoon-jin from K-pop group LE SSERAFIM, given by fans who adore her charm.
While the new fans watch her dramas with subtitles, they had a strong reaction to details of her personal life.
The fun began when Korean user @seoraewave discovered that Sajal had previously been married, writing, “아니잠만 언니 결혼하셨대 나방금 세상이무너졋어 (Wait, unnie got married? My world just collapsed).”
It is worth noting that Sajal divorced actor Ahad Raza Mir back in 2022, news the Korean fans are only just discovering now.
Pakistani user @icuselle shared the tweet and wrote, “Twitter has the weirdest people wdym there are korean fans of a pakistani actress & theyre mourning the fact that shes married.”
Korean fans continued to express their surprise and affection in replies. One wrote, “Sajal unnie so cute.” Another posted “Sajal unnie what did I just hear,” while one added, “sajal unnie what in the world?”
In a follow-up tweet, @seoraewave clarified the nickname, “Yoon-din is a playful take on Heo Yoon-jin from LE SSERAFIM.”
Others saw the moment as a wholesome reminder of the internet’s power. One user wrote, “ur gonna find a fan of someone literally everywhere.” Another added, “This is why i love the internet, everyone is so interconnected, we could never get anything like this before.”
Some Pakistani fans expressed pure shock at the discovery. One posted, “Sajal Aly has a Korean fanbase!???” while another said, “HOW TF DOES SAJAL HAVE A KOREAN FAN BASE.”
Recent rumors have linked Sajal to her co-star Hamza Sohail, which she addressed on social media, saying that she would share any personal updates directly.
