    ‘People criticise me if I put on lipstick’; Hina Bayat on life after her husband’s death

    Life in the spotlight isn’t always as glamorous as it seems, especially when personal choices are harshly judged by the public.

    Recently, veteran actress Hina Bayat appeared as a guest on Subh Ka Samaa Madeha Kay sath, where she spoke about the criticism she faced after the death of her husband, Rogar Bayat.

    “If I apply lipstick and makeup and go somewhere, people will say, ‘She’s one of those women.’ It hurts these women when their husbands are mentioned like this. I’ve even read comments from people about it,” Hina said.

    The Shehr-e-Zaat actress shared how people criticize her for wearing makeup, especially after her husband’s passing.

     “Why? Now tell me, it’s my job. I come on television, and if the character demands that I wear makeup, I’ll do it. I’ve done roles where I’ve gone with a bare face, no makeup at all. But you didn’t comment on that. Even if there’s no demand, I’m saying it clearly, the first thing is that I am appearing in a role. If the character needs it, I’ll do it. What’s wrong with that?”

    She then revealed how her mother taught her to live fully, even in hard times.

     After losing her late husband Roger Bayat to cancer, she stayed strong, remembering her mother’s words. Hin asaid, “We must live the years Allah blessed us with and move on.”

    Earlier, in a recent podcast with FHM, Veteran actress Hina she shared her opinion on the growing number of divorces in society and how tolerance levels have changed. 

    “Why should I blame social media? Basically, over time, people’s tolerance has decreased. I believe that. I’ve heard some people say, ‘I was born to put up with this’, but in any relationship, even at work, not every colleague is someone you click with,” she said when asked about issues in marriages and if social media has played any role in it.

    “You have to compromise a little bit somewhere… you have to tolerate something. There are some things you just can’t tolerate. There are lines you don’t cross, and the same applies to marriage… you set your own boundaries.”

    ‘I was genuinely heartbroken’: Madiha Imam opens up about trolling on marriage

    Actress Madiha Imam has opened up about the hurtful trolling she experienced online, revealing how it affected her deeply.

    Talking on Faysal Quraishi’s podcast, she discussed how she was trolled on social media.

    The host asked, “Whose trolling hurt you on social media?”

    Madiha replied, “It was during my wedding, I was heavily trolled, and I was genuinely heartbroken because I am usually not trolled much, as I keep to myself. But after my wedding, there was trolling about my husband being from India, about his religion. People linked it to his religion as if there’s only one religion in that country. I didn’t know that people here thought there was only one religion over there, when in fact, there are even more Muslims there than here.”

    The Dil -e- Momin actress recalled how people made fun of her Nikkah ceremony, prompting her to share clarifications.

    “When they made fun of my Nikkah, I shared pictures to clarify, and even then, I was humiliated. I realized that I shouldn’t have had to clarify, but I did it anyway because I have people who love me, who sometimes end up fighting with each other online. Out of the 1,200 comments, over 1,100 were negative, which was the first time I had experienced something like that in my life. It was ver.y embarrassing, and I thought, what I have done to deserve this,” Imam added.

    She expressed her frustration over the personal attack saying, “Some people went as far as making fun of my facial features and belittling the sacred bond of Nikkah. But certain things are just not right. So, eventually, I decided to ignore it all. I thought, why bother clarifying, I tried very hard, but in the end, I was like, ‘To hell with it, man.’ Now, I just turn off my comments because it’s my personal life. You can’t disrespect any country, ethnicity, caste, or anyone’s appearance.”

    The Beyhadh actress also discussed about how people are always watching her appearance closely.

    Madiha said, “People would even mock my weight, saying, ‘she’s gained weight, maybe she’s pregnant!’ They’d go on about when I’d have a baby, and then they’d criticize that too. There’s no end to it. My mother would laugh and say, ‘Don’t feel the need to clarify. We know, your father knows, your family knows, and your friends know; let that be enough.’ But sometimes I still feel bad about what people say.”
