Ramadan transmissions are now a significant part of Pakistani television. These programs combine religious teachings, entertainment, and discussions on social issues. However, this year, actress and host Javeria Saud is facing criticism.
Many believe she showed exaggerated emotions during a live broadcast. In a recent episode of her Ramadan show, Javeria listened to a naat. Overcome with emotion, she broke into tears.
The moment was captured on camera and quickly went viral. Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram were flooded with clips from the broadcast. Some viewers appreciated her devotion. Others, however, felt she was overacting to gain attention.
Another asked, “What is the purpose of such theatrics? It would be better to engage in sincere worship at home.” Critics believe that Ramadan transmissions should focus on sincerity and spirituality.
They argued that such emotional performances are staged for higher ratings. This issue is not new. In past years, many celebrities and hosts have faced backlash for similar reasons. Viewers have often accused them of acting rather than expressing true devotion.
Ramadan programs are frequently criticized for prioritizing entertainment over religious values. Some believe scripted moments and dramatic expressions have turned these shows into rating battles.
Instead of focusing on spiritual enrichment, they aim for viral content. Despite the criticism, some industry insiders defended Javeria Saud. They argue that emotions are personal and vary from person to person.
Others believe Ramadan transmissions should stay authentic and meaningful. As the discussion continues, one crucial question arises. Should Ramadan shows emphasize spirituality over sensationalism?
Javeria Saud’s has reignited the debate over religious programming. With social media shaping public opinions, Ramadan transmissions remain under constant scrutiny.
