KARACHI, 13 October, 2026 (Ghufran): Pakistani actress Hiba Bukhari has urged her fans to treat others with respect following what she described as “really disrespectful” comments on social media. In an Instagram story, the actress clarified that her earlier post was intended to understand a situation rather than encourage hostility or disagreements among her followers. Expressing disappointment over the comments, Bukhari said she did not appreciate disrespectful remarks and emphasised that she valued her fans while expecting them to respect others, particularly her fellow actors. “I love my fans and I know for a fact my fandom cannot disrespect anyone,” she stated, adding that she respected her co-actors and expected the same attitude from her supporters. Clarifying the purpose of her earlier interaction, she explained that her story was simply intended to inquire about what was happening, not to fuel disputes. The actress concluded her message by requesting her followers to remain considerate towards one another, saying that seeing hurtful comments was upsetting. Bukhari’s appeal highlights the challenges faced by public figures as fan communities increasingly engage in debates and disagreements across social media platforms. While enthusiastic fans play an important role in supporting actors and celebrating their work, differences of opinion can sometimes escalate into personal attacks and online hostility. Her message serves as a reminder that admiration for celebrities should be accompanied by mutual respect, responsible online behaviour and consideration for others.
