Singer and actor Asim Azhar perfectly summed up the ultimate Ramadan struggle in a hilarious Instagram post during the holy month. In a relatable reel or story, he captioned: “Is it just me ya peak rozay ki halat main dunya ki sab se lazeez khanon ki videos hi sirf ati hain???”
The post quickly went viral, shared and reposted by pages like Niche Lifestyle, Hip in Pak, Very Filmi, and Social Diary Magazine. Asim’s question captured the common experience: scrolling Instagram or TikTok in the late afternoon or just before iftar, only to be bombarded with mouthwatering reels of biryani, pakoras, samosas, rolls, and desserts, exactly when hunger hits hardest. Fans flooded comments with 😂 emojis, “Usssss” (exactly!), “Every single year!”, and “The algorithm knows our weakness.”
Many related how the feed turns into a “full food festival” during peak fasting hours, testing sabr (patience) like never before. Some joked the algorithm is “trolling us” or “testing our niyat” (intentions). The post resonated because it’s a universal Ramadan meme, and social media platforms seem to push tempting food content precisely when self-control is at its lowest.
Asim Azhar, known for his music, acting (in dramas like Ishq-e-Laa and Fraud), and relatable personality, often shares light-hearted, real-life moments. This funny observation brought smiles during the blessed month, reminding everyone that even celebrities face the same hunger pangs and algorithm tricks. In a time of reflection and discipline, his post united fans in laughter over a shared “struggle” that makes iftar even sweeter.
