Wahaj Ali defends 'Tere Bin' co-star Yumna Zaidi over 'offensive' post

The actor took offence to a seemingly harmless meme about his co-star and asked for its removal


Entertainment Desk May 23, 2024

Wahaj Ali and Yumna Zaidi, the beloved on-screen couple from the hit drama Tere Bin, have captivated audiences with their undeniable chemistry. Following the announcement of the drama's second season, both stars have embarked on new projects. 

The Bakhtawar actor recently starred opposite Humayun Saeed in Gentleman, earning praise for her electric chemistry with yet another co-star. A fan even posted a meme comparing Yumna's versatility to that of potatoes, highlighting her ability to create magic with any on-screen partner. 

 

However, Wahaj didn’t quite see the humour in the comparison. Misinterpreting the playful analogy, he commented on the post, requesting its removal. "Please remove this post. If you are my admirer, then you should respect my friends, family, and colleagues," he wrote.

 

Wahaj's response sparked a mixed reaction among fans. Many felt his reaction was an overreach. One user commented, “There was nothing wrong with the post, and the truth is that she is beautiful with everyone. He should not have behaved like this, and this is not appropriate for him.”

Another added, “Wahaj, you are a huge disappointment. I did not expect this behaviour from you. The post was not wrong. He acts like a child who always wants everyone to care about him.”

Despite the Dil Na Umeed To Nahi actor’s request, the page admin decided to keep the post up, standing by the harmless nature of the joke, supported by their followers. While Wahaj’s response might have been a misunderstanding, it certainly stirred up the fan community.
