Naeema Butt’s failure to recognize co-star Hania Aamir sparks online criticism

Actress Naeema Butt recently sparked controversy with her comments about co-star Hania Aamir during an appearance on a sports show.

Despite working together in the hit drama Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum, Naeema claimed she doesn’t know Hania well — a remark that stirred criticism and led many to accuse her of being envious.

The moment unfolded when Naeema failed to recognize an AI-generated photo of Hania displayed on the screen. Instead of acknowledging the mix-up, she said, “I was unable to identify Hania Aamir because I don’t know her very well.”

A visibly surprised host of the show reminded her, “You really don’t know her, you even did a drama with her.”

To this, Naeema responded, “Working in a drama with someone does not mean that you know him/her. You may think of knowing them but in reality, you don’t.”

As the exchange continued, the host clarified that casual familiarity doesn’t require deep personal knowledge. Naeema concluded the discussion by saying, “I don’t observe people that much, I am sorry.”

Social media quickly lit up with reactions — many fans felt her comments were dismissive, while others supported her right to personal boundaries.
