Actress Naeema Butt’s Satirical Video on Drama Industry Goes Viral

Lahore: Popular Pakistani actress Naeema Butt has stirred controversy after posting a satirical video on her verified Instagram account, addressing criticism about her absence from recent TV dramas. The video quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions online.

In the video, Naeema indirectly responded to those questioning her lack of screen appearances, saying,

“People say I’m making these videos because I’m not getting work in dramas. But who wants to work in an industry where actresses are found dead? At least meet my pet dog—he’s loyal.”

Currently not seen in any major television project, Naeema remains highly active on social media, regularly posting creative and humorous content. However, her latest video has drawn backlash from some followers who criticized her for taking jabs at the very industry that made her famous.

One user commented, “You gained fame through this industry, and now you’re mocking it?”
Another wrote, “If someone didn’t offer you work, name them. Why criticize the whole industry?”

Others labeled her attitude as “bitter” and “negative,” accusing her of being envious of fellow artists and ungrateful toward the platform that once celebrated her talent.
