"I think she forgot to wear her trousers."
In her most recent Instagram post, Yashma Gill shared a video of herself enjoying a lovely bonfire outdoors.
She wore a sleek black dress with a thigh-high slit.
However, internet users mocked Yashma for her inappropriate attire – both culturally and in terms of weather.
Yashma’s sister added a touch of humour and commented under the post:
“A bonfire is good and all, but pants keep you warm just fine.”
She playfully suggested that her choice of dress was not suitable for the occasion.
Another netizen candidly stated: “If you had worn clothes, you wouldn’t feel cold.”
Some users were even more direct in their criticism.
One of them commented: “Don’t be shy, put some pants on.”
Another comment said: “Guys, she is struggling to get famous.”
They insinuated that Yashma’s clothing choice was attention-seeking and inappropriate. The negative sentiment continued throughout the comment section.
A person remarked: “I think she forgot to wear her trousers.
Another strong comment suggested: “Why don’t you go inside and never come out.”
One wrote: “Throw your leg in the fire, maybe that should warm you up”
Several comments criticised Yashma’s sense of fashion as well.
One stated: “She has the worst dressing sense.”
While there were a few supportive comments, they were significantly outnumbered by the negative ones.
One user simply stated: “You look stunning!”
Another said: “Pakistan is the only place where you get criticised for what you wear.
“It is a safe country, she can wear whatever she wants to, it should not be anyone else’s business.”
A third user said: “Yashma Gill, my favourite actress. Love you so much.”
However, remarks like this were scarce and they also received backlash from other commenters for supporting her.
These included:
“Why don’t you make your sister wear similar clothes then?”
Her video received a significant amount of criticism primarily focused on her slit-cut dress.
The comment section became a battleground of disapproval, with negative sentiments questioning her appropriateness outweighing the relatively sparse positive comments.

Yet it also exhibited humorous suggestions, providing a diverse range of reactions to Yashma Gill’s Instagram post.
Yashma Gill is known for her lead roles in the television shows Kab Mere Kehlaoge and Bebaak. But she previously opened up about being typecast.
Explaining how a misconception often leads to modern-looking actors being cast as rich characters with negative traits, Yashma said:
“I think I’d come from Australia. There is a misconception in our field that if a woman is a little modern, dresses in modern clothes or talks in a modern way, give her a rich character. And, in our scripts, rich girls are often portrayed as negative.
“In the beginning when I got offers, I thought that I want to be an actress, I should take what I get.
“I didn’t know what a soap or serial was, or about negative or positive [characters]. I’ve learned with time that our audience doesn’t see good or bad acting, they see good or bad characters.
“I said yes to the negative role and after that, I think you tend to get typecast.”
