Karachi ( The COW News Digital) Popular Pakistani television actress Hiba Bukhari has once again found herself in the spotlight, not for her acting but for a debate surrounding her age. A resurfaced video clip from Pakistan Television (PTV), allegedly showing a younger Hiba Bukhari or her look-alike, has gone viral on social media, leaving fans divided and sparking speculation.
In the video, a young woman with a striking resemblance to the actress is seen performing in what appears to be an old PTV production. The clip quickly gained traction online, with many viewers claiming that the woman is indeed Hiba Bukhari, suggesting she has concealed her true age.
Several users went as far as accusing the actress of hiding the fact that she might be “over 40.” One comment mockingly suggested the girl in the clip could be Hiba’s mother, while another insisted it was Hiba herself, accusing her of misrepresenting her age to maintain a younger public image.
However, other social media users pushed back, claiming that the woman in the video was not Hiba at all but a former PTV actress named Zeba Ali, who has since left the entertainment industry. This counterargument has fueled further speculation and left many questioning the truth.
The debate has stirred fresh interest in Hiba Bukhari, who is widely admired for her natural acting, graceful personality, and down-to-earth approach to fame. Fans have long seen her as a modern yet realistic actress, open about both her career and family life. But the resurfaced footage has raised questions about how celebrities balance their personal histories with the expectations of stardom.
So far, Hiba Bukhari has not issued any public statement addressing the controversy. Industry insiders suggest that such debates are not uncommon for stars, especially actresses, who often face scrutiny over their personal lives and appearance.
The incident highlights the ongoing obsession in South Asian entertainment circles with age and image, where even the smallest piece of archival footage can trigger widespread debate. Whether or not the woman in the video is actually Hiba remains unconfirmed, but one thing is certain: the conversation has only added to her mystique.
As the video continues to circulate, fans remain eager for Hiba’s response—hoping she will either confirm or deny the speculation and put an end to the growing mystery.
