Hina Niazi’s reception video sparks debate online

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani television anchor and host of the infotainment show “Suno Toh Sahi”, Hina Niazi, has become the subject of widespread discussion online — not for her work, but for her personal life and a video that has gone viral.

Hina recently tied the knot with the person of her choice, and the celebrations, especially her stunning looks at the wedding events, won admiration from her fans.

A video from her reception photoshoot is now rapidly circulating on social media. In it, she is seen wearing a beautiful silver-coloured outfit and posing with her husband.

In one notable moment, she holds a bouquet of flowers in front of both their faces, creating an impression as if she is giving her husband a kiss — a scene that has sparked intense debate online.

Social media users have been sharply divided in their reactions. Many younger viewers have defended Hina Niazi, saying the affectionate gesture was harmless and a natural expression between a married couple. One commenter noted it was part of her personal life and that she is married.

However, others criticised the moment as being contrary to cultural norms and traditions, with some accusing her of being influenced by Western cultural expressions that they feel are not aligned with local values.

Hina Niazi first confirmed her engagement and intimate celebration in Lahore last week by sharing photos on Instagram with the caption “And she said YES,” which drew significant attention from followers. Her celebration was a close-knit gathering of family and friends, and she opted for an elegant black gown for the event, keeping her jewellery minimal while presenting a coordinated look with her fiancé.

The anchor, who hosts a popular show on a private television network and has a strong social media following, continues to post updates, drawing both praise and criticism from her audience
