Social media can take anyone's statement and twist it into something that holds no similarity with the original. 

 

 

Senior actress Hina Bayat issued an explanatory statement after a controversy erupted over her comments on dresses. She clarified that she did not mention Hania Aamir and Yashma Gill in her original statement. However, some media outlets, including Diva Magazine and Galaxy Lollywood, hinted in their reporting that Hina was talking about the two actresses. 

 

In her video, Hina Bayat expressed her frustration with certain social media platforms that take statements out of context and sensationalize them. She said, "Such social media pages do not have any content of their own but take what someone said from anywhere and do not see what was said and how it was happening and make it viral by making headlines."

 

She further explained that these outlets gain views by naming popular personalities, leading to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. "What kind of content is it to hurt people's hearts? You attribute something to someone that they did not even say," she added.

Hina Bayat admitted that she had indeed commented on current fashion trends, saying, "Traditional attire is not seen anywhere these days. Nowadays, even pashminas and angarkhas are not seen anywhere, so now along with lehengas and ghararas, even kameezs are not seen anywhere." She clarified that her statement was not directed at Hania Aamir and Yashma Gill.

 

"I am not God and God forbid that I judge anyone, but God will judge you who are giving a different color to the matter to increase your views. May God guide us all and protect us from all kinds of evil," Hina Bayat emphasized.

 

Earlier, Hania Aamir and Yashma Gill were seen dancing at Gill’s younger sister’s wedding in stylish outfits. The actors wore short cholis and flared lehengas, and their dance moves went viral online. However, some people criticized their outfits, and Hina Khawaja Bayat was mistakenly thought to be one of them.

"I was wondering if people have forgotten something called a kameez," Bayat allegedly commented on a video of the pair dancing shared by blogger Afia Qazi. This statement led to backlash from Sindh Assembly member Sharmila Faruqui, who urged Bayat to "live and let live."

 

Faruqui wrote in an Instagram story, "Stop judging women with their choice in clothing. If that’s the case then all men should wear sherwanis and not suits."

 

It's 2025, and dragging other women down based on their clothing choices is absolutely ridiculous. Women should be able to wear whatever they want. Period.
