Live Ramadan transmissions have become a tradition in Pakistan, aiming to provide viewers with religious teachings and entertainment. However, this year, actress Javeria Saud’s hosting of a Ramadan show has sparked controversy.

During a live broadcast, Javeria Saud became emotional and broke into tears while reciting a naat. Clips of the moment quickly went viral on social media, drawing criticism from viewers who accused her of overacting for the sake of ratings.

Many social media users expressed their disapproval, with one commenting, “This is all just for ratings.” Another questioned, “What is the purpose of such theatrics? It would be better to engage in worship at home.”

This is not the first time that Ramadan transmissions have been criticized for sensationalism. In the past, several hosts have faced similar accusations of exaggerated emotions and staged performances to attract viewership.
