“What kind of message are you giving to the younger generation?"
Sehar Khan is currently featured in Hum TV’s drama serial Jafaa, where she stars alongside Usman Mukhtar and Zarrar Khan.
Her scenes from the series have gained significant attention, particularly a romantic scene from episode 5 between herself and Zarrar Khan.
This clip was shared on Hum TV’s official Instagram page.
In the scene, she can be seen hanging out with her boyfriend. He gives her a rose and says that it is from his own garden.
Then she asks him to give it to her more romantically.
He then proceeds to kneel on his knee and presents her with the rose again. Her boyfriend starts to take her pictures while she poses with the rose.
The scene has generated a wave of criticism from fans.
Many viewers have taken to social media to express their displeasure with Sehar Khan’s performance.
They describe her acting as over the top and reminiscent of her previous role as Umeed Pasha in Fairy Tale.
Critics argued that her attempts to appear cute are irritating rather than endearing, describing her acting as “childish”.

Fans have also raised concerns about the message conveyed by the drama.
The portrayal of a romantic relationship between two teenage students has been met with disapproval.
Viewers have voiced their discomfort with the storyline, arguing that it sends the wrong message by glorifying teenage romance over academic pursuits.
This criticism is particularly strong regarding Sehar Khan’s character.
Her character is seen as being overly invested in her boyfriend at the expense of her studies.
Social media reactions have highlighted this sentiment.
A user commented: “The depiction of romantic relationships between young students could set a problematic precedent.
“If this trend continues, Pakistani dramas might soon focus on love stories involving even younger children.”
Another added: “Samira Fazal’s scripts tend to be similar, primarily focusing on teenage love stories.”
One said: “Sehar’s acting is so bad. It looks like she is influenced by K-dramas in which the heroine is very petite and cute.
“But Sehar is none of those things which is why she seems more annoying than cute.”
Another user questioned: “Mayi Ri 2?”
One asked: “What kind of message are you giving to the younger generation? To stop studying and focus on relationships?”
Another said: “Teenage love stories, that too in school will leave a very bad impact on young adults.”
