A surprising revelation from actress Naeema Butt about her limited familiarity with co-star Hania Aamir sparked a lot of controversy online. The unexpected comments came during Naeema’s recent appearance on Waseem Badami’s sports show.
What began as a simple game segment turned awkward when Naeema, rather than acknowledging her mistake, made remarks that many interpreted as dismissive toward her Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum co-star.
“I was unable to identify Hania Aamir because I don’t know her very well,” Naeema stated, prompting visible surprise from host Badami when she failed to recognise an AI-generated image of Hania.
The host reminded her, “You really don’t know her? You even did a drama with her,” to which Naeema responded defensively as “Working in a drama with someone doesn’t mean you know them. You might think you do, but in reality, you don’t.”

Badami attempted to clarify that casual association doesn’t require deep personal knowledge, but Naeema concluded by saying, “I don’t observe people that much, I’m sorry.”
This exchange drew serious criticism from viewers who found Naeema’s comments unnecessary, especially considering their successful collaboration in the popular drama.
Ironically, Naeema had previously received praise for her bold performance alongside Hania. The incident led many to speculate about possible professional jealousy, though Naeema’s representatives have not commented further on the matter.
