Fiza Ali Hits Back at Nida Yasir for Remarks About Food Delivery Riders

Popular morning show host Nida Yasir, known for dominating Pakistan’s morning television for years, has once again sparked controversy. During a recent episode of her show, Nida made comments about food delivery riders that many viewers found insensitive, triggering widespread backlash across social media.

Fiza Ali Responds Strongly to Nida Yasir’s Statements

Food delivery services have become an essential part of everyday life in Pakistan, providing convenience to millions. Despite this, delivery workers often operate under difficult conditions—from extreme weather to safety concerns—while being underpaid for the risks they take.

In her show, Nida Yasir criticized delivery riders, claiming they create unnecessary problems for customers. She remarked that they often fail to bring change and try to “”swindle”” customers out of extra money. She further added that customers must keep the exact amount ready and that riders should bring change as part of their responsibility.

Actress and host Fiza Ali, however, strongly disagreed with Nida Yasir’s remarks. She publicly called her out, stating that delivery riders often bring food to customers late at night and work tirelessly to serve others. Fiza emphasized that even though customers pay high prices for food, they often forget to offer basic respect to the individuals who deliver it. She highlighted that these workers are “humans, fathers and sons, and may be the only providers of their homes,” making it essential to treat them with dignity.

Her stance has resonated with many online users. Public sentiment overwhelmingly supports Fiza Ali for speaking up. One user commented, “Thank God someone spoke the truth.” Another wrote, “You must also give tips to them. Great words.” A third added, “Tipping is not a duty but it should be considered a duty.” While another praised her by saying, “Thank you for saying the right thing.”

The debate continues to grow online, with many commending Fiza Ali for advocating respect for frontline workers.
