A clip from a recent television programme hosted by comedian and presenter Tabish Hashmi has gone viral on social media after actress Zara Noor Abbas was seen becoming emotional and leaving the show midway.
In the widely circulated video, Tabish Hashmi asked Zara Noor Abbas a question related to her drama Zebaish, which reportedly brought her international recognition. The host referenced a social media post attributed to Indian singer Honey Singh, asking the actress about the content of the post.
Upon hearing the question, the actress appeared visibly uncomfortable and remained silent for several moments while the host continued speaking in a light tone and encouraged her to respond. She then addressed the matter, stating that the tweet had mocked her work and that she did not find it humorous. She added that she did not wish to discuss the issue further and had previously requested that the topic not be raised.
During the exchange, the host maintained that he was unaware of any sensitivity surrounding the subject and suggested that the segment could be edited out if necessary.
The clip shows the situation escalating emotionally, after which Zara Noor Abbas reportedly became overwhelmed and exited the programme before its conclusion.
The authenticity and full context of the viral video remain unclear. While many social media users expressed surprise over the incident, others described it as a possible publicity stunt aimed at boosting ratings. Some commenters suggested that the interaction may have been intended as light-hearted banter that was misunderstood.
The episode has sparked debate online about the boundaries of humour in live television, the handling of sensitive topics, and the impact of viral clips shared without complete context.
