A viral video capturing model, actress, and host Mathira’s unfamiliarity with the well-known actress Dur-e-Fishan Saleem has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. The video, taken during a television program where Mathira was questioned about potential on-screen pairings, showcased a surprising gap in her awareness of current Pakistani drama stars.
During the segment, Mathira was asked to comment on which actors she thought would pair well on screen. She mentioned that Bilal Abbas Khan and Hania Aamir would make a good match, describing both as talented and visually appealing, likening them to beautiful babies. She also paired Sami Khan with Yashmi Gul and Ahsan Khan with Yamuna Zaidi, whom she humorously referred to as looking like Barbie dolls.
However, the conversation took an unexpected turn when the host brought up Dur-e-Fishan Saleem. Mathira paused, visibly unsure, and admitted she did not know who Saleem was. Despite the host’s prompts about Saleem’s rising popularity and frequent discussions in the media, Mathira maintained that she was not familiar with her because she did not watch Pakistani dramas.
Mathira explained that her lack of knowledge was because Pakistani dramas are not watched in her household; instead, they primarily watch content on Netflix. She suggested that she might recognize Saleem by face, but without watching local TV, she couldn’t place the actress.
The clip quickly went viral, and social media users expressed their amusement and surprise that she was unaware of Dur-e-Fishan Saleem, who is becoming a prominent figure in Pakistani entertainment.
