Karachi ( The COW News Digital)Pakistani actress Sonya Hussyn has found herself at the center of a heated social media debate after videos from her birthday celebration went viral, showing her performing a bold dance in revealing outfits. The footage, which has been widely shared on Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), has sparked widespread criticism from netizens who accuse the star of disregarding cultural and moral values.
The celebration, attended by fellow actors and close friends, featured a lively party atmosphere with music, dancing, and glamorous fashion. According to sources, Sonya donned two different off-shoulder outfits during the night — a baby pink gown for the initial festivities and an army green dress for the cake-cutting segment. Both looks have been labeled “inappropriate” by critics, who argue that her wardrobe choices were too revealing for public sharing.
Among the notable attendees were Mansha Pasha, Zhalay Sarhadi, Omair Rana, Ejaz Aslam, and Hassan Rizvi. Videos from the event showed not only Sonya but also other guests dancing energetically, adding to the party’s vibrant and modern vibe.
However, the online response has been overwhelmingly negative. Many users condemned the timing and tone of the celebration, referencing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine and urging celebrities to exercise greater social awareness. Some accused Sonya of ignoring “moral boundaries” while others linked the incident to broader debates about the influence of Western fashion trends on Pakistani culture.
The actress has not yet responded to the backlash. It is worth noting that her actual birthday falls on July 15, but the videos surfaced and went viral weeks later, triggering the current wave of controversy.
While Sonya Hussyn is celebrated for her acting talent and bold fashion sense, this is not the first time she has faced public criticism over her personal style and event appearances. The incident has once again highlighted the growing divide between liberal and conservative segments of Pakistani society, particularly in matters of celebrity culture, morality, and public expression.
Whether Sonya chooses to issue a statement or remain silent remains to be seen. For now, the debate continues to trend online, with supporters defending her right to self-expression and detractors demanding more cultural sensitivity from public figures.
