This trend gained attention when several influencers, including Zarnab Fatima and Dr Madiha, received such gifts from their spouses.
Ducky Bhai also presented a substantial sum of money to his wife for Eid.
Expressing concern over the negative influence of such trends, Dr Qaiser highlighted the potential harm of setting unrealistic expectations for viewers, especially impressionable young women.
