Fiza Ali responds to Yasir Nawaz and Nida over comments about delivery riders

Renowned Pakistani actress and host Fiza Ali has openly expressed her strong opinions on social media regarding a controversial statement made by Nida Yasir, sparking a heated online debate.

The controversy began when the popular morning show host Nida Yasir claimed on her program that some food delivery riders deliberately avoid carrying cash so that customers give them extra tips.

Many people criticized this statement as insensitive and disrespectful toward hardworking delivery riders, who perform their duties despite harsh weather, traffic challenges, and low wages in Pakistan.

Fiza Ali strongly condemned Nida Yasir’s remarks, emphasizing that delivery riders are not just workers delivering food on time, but family members, fathers, sons, and hardworking individuals earning their livelihood under difficult circumstances.

She urged people to treat such workers with respect, empathy, and dignity.

According to Fiza Ali, delivery riders face hazardous traffic, severe weather conditions, and long working hours, and basic respect is their right.

Her heartfelt statement received widespread public support, with social media users praising her stand and engaging in discussions about respect and dignity for all individuals, regardless of their profession.

Many applauded Fiza Ali for highlighting the challenges faced by ordinary workers and standing up for their rights.

In response, Nida Yasir issued an apology, stating that her comments were not intended to target an entire community but were based on her personal experience.

She expressed regret if anyone was hurt by her words and clarified that her intention was not to insult or disrespect anyone.

Meanwhile, Nida Yasir’s husband, Yasir Nawaz, also stepped in, requesting Fiza Ali to refrain from further criticism, arguing that the matter was unnecessarily putting his “innocent wife” in the spotlight.

The discussion continues to trend on social media, with celebrities, workers, and the public weighing in—some supporting Nida Yasir, while many back Fiza Ali’s stance on respect, human dignity, and social empathy.

Fiza Ali remains firm in her position, asserting that she will continue advocating for respect and compassion, both online and in public discourse.
