“Sajal trying hard to use her brain cells.”
Sajal Aly was recently mocked after a video went viral, showing the actress speaking in English.
In the video, she said: “People will start rising in love instead of falling in love, you know what I mean?
“You know we say ‘Let’s fall in love?’ Why fall in love, man? Just rise in love.”
A user posted the video along with the caption:
“Sajal trying hard to use her brain cells.”
Some users laughed at Sajal’s English-speaking skills, with one user calling her “cringe” and others telling her to “stick to acting”.
But many came to Sajal’s defence, stating there was nothing wrong in what she had said.
One angry netizen said: “Rising in love means being able to make your own choices and decisions, and also making your partner capable of the same.
“That’s what she meant. People in quotes lack brain cells and it’s so evident.
“If you don’t understand something, Google it rather than mindlessly trolling.”
“People will start rising in love instead of falling in love.” I have a degree in literature & teach ELA in elementary school in the US where I’ve grown up. Nothing wrong with this grammatically or otherwise. You like making fun of your own for kicks? #SajalAly #PakistaniDramas https://t.co/rrELozLea3

A teacher named Sophia commented:
“I have a degree in literature and teach ELA in elementary school in the US where I’ve grown up.
“Nothing wrong with this grammatically or otherwise. You like making fun of your own [people] for kicks?”
One social media user was disappointed by the comments and said:
“Mocking her because she’s not as fluent in English? You all hit a new low everyday.
“Plus, what she said has been said a million times before, especially in books.”
One individual pointed out that this was not something Sajal had made up but that it was a saying that had been used many times before.
The user wrote: “I’m sorry but none of you read or engage in books as much as you all say you do. Because if you did, you’d know this isn’t a new thought she’s come up with. I’ve heard that saying before.
“You’d also know what she meant was you’d want to empower in love, not just submit or fall.”
Some argued that Sajal Aly was allowed to make mistakes because she is “hot”.
The social media user wrote: “If you’re as hot as Sajal Aly, you’re allowed to say whatever you want.”
Sajal Aly is a much-loved actress in the Pakistani drama industry who also made her mark in Bollywood when she starred alongside the late Sridevi in the movie Mom.
Her most popular dramas include titles such as O Rangreza, Yakeen Ka Safar, Gul-e-Rana and most recently, Kuch Ankahi.
