Pakistani clinical psychologist and social media influencer Mahin Anwari has criticised actress and host Fiza Ali’s parenting style in a recently shared video.
Mahin Anwari stated that showcasing children prominently on social media by their parents can have long-term negative effects on their mental health.
Fiza Ali frequently shares her daily activities on Instagram, including pictures and videos of her ten-year-old daughter, Faral Fawad.
Recently, Mahin Anwari posted a video on her account highlighting Fiza Ali and her daughter, expressing deep concern over this trend. She argued that parents, particularly mothers, are putting young daughters in the spotlight to gain views and attention, which is worrying.
To illustrate her point, the psychologist cited a case of a fifteen-year-old girl she had spoken to, who is experiencing mental stress and challenges due to her mother’s behaviour. She urged parents to refrain from turning their children’s innocence into social media content.
Addressing Fiza Ali directly, Mahin Anwari said that she should consider the potential long-term psychological impact of such behaviour on her child.
The video has sparked debate on social media, with some users praising the psychologist for raising awareness about child protection, while others supported Fiza Ali’s perspective.
