Pakistani actress Sana Javed recently found herself at the center of social media controversy after a seemingly playful Instagram comment backfired. When her friend Umair Qazi commented on her Dubai vacation photos asking for “this photographer,” Sana replied, “Main apna miyan nahi de sakti,” referring to her husband, cricketer Shoaib Malik, who had taken the pictures.
What was intended as a lighthearted joke quickly backfired, as netizens flooded the comment section with harsh criticism and sarcastic remarks, many referencing the controversial circumstances surrounding their marriage. The couple wed in January 2024, shortly after Malik’s divorce from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza became public knowledge.
The backlash was swift and pointed. Social media users accused Javed of hypocrisy, with comments such as those noting she could take others’ husbands but not share her own. Others sarcastically advised her to keep a close watch on Malik, while some stated bluntly that no one wanted her husband.
The incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny faced by the couple, whose relationship has been subject to intense public criticism since their wedding. The controversy also raises broader questions about how possessiveness is perceived in relationships, particularly when expressed publicly on social media.
While possessive statements about partners might seem affectionate in private contexts, the viral response demonstrates how such comments can be interpreted differently when made by public figures, especially those whose relationships began amid controversy. The debate continues over whether Sana’s comment was harmless playfulness or crossed boundaries of appropriate public discourse.
