Islamabad: Ramadan transmissions have become a key feature of Pakistani television, designed to offer both spiritual insights and entertainment. This year, many channels are airing live shows hosted by well-known celebrities. However, these programs often attract criticism for including exaggerated segments aimed at increasing viewership.

Recently, actress Javeria Saud drew attention when a clip of her emotional response during a Naat recitation went viral. In the footage, famous Naat reciters Sherry Raza and Ahmed Raza Qadri delivered a touching performance, which visibly moved Javeria to tears. This moment led to a flurry of criticism from viewers, who accused her of overacting for the sake of attention.

Social media was buzz with reactions, with many users questioning the sincerity of her tears. One viewer stated, “This is all happening for ratings,” while another asked, “What’s the point of this drama? Prayers should be heartfelt.” These comments highlight a growing concern regarding the authenticity of emotions portrayed in religious programming.

Despite the criticism, some fans argue that her emotions were genuine, emphasizing the subjective nature of interpreting displays of spirituality on screen. As of now, Javeria Saud has not publicly responded to the backlash.

This incident has reignited conversations about the commercialization of religious events and the delicate balance between authentic expressions of faith and performative acts intended for entertainment.
