Actress Faryal Mehmood has stirred fresh controversy online after posting a bold dance video on her official Instagram account, where she appears in a revealing outfit.
The black-and-white clip features her dancing to the song “Nahi Jeena” in a provocative manner. In the caption, Faryal shared that the video was actually recorded last year, but she had chosen not to post it earlier as she felt self-conscious about her appearance.
Now feeling more confident, she described the moment as beautiful and expressed joy in finally sharing it. She also added a playful note, saying she’s off to enjoy a good meal and do some shopping.
While some celebrities praised her confidence and self-expression, the video drew criticism from a large section of the public, who labeled it as inappropriate and attention-seeking.
The backlash has reignited ongoing discussions around freedom of expression, modesty, and the limits of self-promotion in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
