"they'll try to bring you down to theirs."
A recent clip featuring veteran Pakistani star Meera has gone viral, where an attempt was seemingly made to humiliate the star.
The clip featured Meera sharing a meaningful quote:
“In the hands of life, it’s not important to hold all the good relations but it is more important how good you behave with the relations you hold.”
Despite the serious nature of her message, a persistent laugh track played in the background, mocking her spoken English.
The situation worsened when the host asked Meera to recite this quote from memory.
The public is of the view that this was asked to seemingly embarrass her further.
Remaining composed, Meera responded in Urdu: “I haven’t memorised it, that’s why I’ve written it for you.”
Meera, who has frequently been targeted for her proficiency in English, responded with grace.
This graceful reply did not deter the host, who continued to make subtle jibes.
Nevertheless, Meera maintained her dignity and navigated the situation with remarkable poise.
In response to the incident, Sonya Hussyn voiced her support for Meera on her Instagram Story.
“She shared something so profound but the host kept mocking her because he didn’t have the level of intellect to understand it.
“It’s the best example of when people can’t reach your level, they’ll try to bring you down to theirs.
“But she smartly ignored him and said that those who need to understand will get it. Just let it go.”
The public called out the host’s actions and showed their support for Meera.
A user wrote: “Fluency in English is unjustly equated with intelligence and social status. Meera is not ignorant for not being fluent in English.
“The host is ignorant for thinking Meera is ignorant for not being fluent.”
Another added: “Rather than belittling someone’s efforts to communicate in a second language, appreciation for their attempt should be shown. Clown behaviour from the host.”
One questioned: “Our hosts are so mean. Why do they give so much importance to English?”
Another commented: “I’m not a fan of Meera but this host is very unethical.”
One asked: “The audacity of this child of a host to mock a great name such as Meera? Is he in his senses?
“Who does he think he is? He is disrespecting an elder.”
