Hey Netizens! Buckle up — After sdubious smoking conflict young actress Aina Asif has landed in hot water, not for a drama role this time, but for her real-life comments on Namaz and mental health that sparked a major online backlash.
Famous for hits like Mayi Ri, Baby Baji, and Hum Tum, Aina appeared on a morning show with co-star Abul Hasan to promote their new project Parwarish. But things took a turn when they shared their views on depression, therapy, and faith.
Aina said,
“Sometimes, therapists just tell you to pray — and yes, Namaz is important — but what do I do in that moment when I’m depressed?”
Abul Hasan added,
“We need therapy too. We can’t fix everything with just Namaz. Allah gave us a brain to find medical solutions.”
Their words exploded online.
“Are actors now the new religious scholars?” one user snapped.
Others reminded them of the Quranic verse: “Seek help through patience and prayer.”
While some slammed the actors for “oversimplifying faith,” others defended their message — that mental health support and religion can go together. “Namaz helps, but so does therapy,” a user wrote. Another said, “Faith is a blessing, but depression is real.”
