Pakistani actress Hareem Farooq has faced criticism on social media after visiting Punjab University alongside actor Faisal Qureshi to promote their upcoming Punjabi film Mango Jatt.
Hareem appeared at the university wearing a loose yellow shirt paired with denim pants. Her outfit quickly drew attention online, with some social media users describing it as unsuitable for an educational setting.
Some commenters made sarcastic remarks about the style and fitting of her outfit, while others argued that celebrities should consider the nature of a venue when selecting what to wear for public appearances.
However, some of the online comments went beyond criticism of the outfit and targeted Hareem Farooq’s body and physical appearance. Such remarks are more appropriately described as body shaming rather than constructive criticism of fashion or dress choices.
The discussion has once again highlighted the intense scrutiny celebrities face over their appearance during public appearances, particularly when they visit educational institutions or other formal venues.
