Pakistani actress and host Javeria Saud has come under criticism after a misleading incident during an Eid special television show, where a childhood photo wrongly attributed to Yumna Zaidi was aired. The controversy emerged during a segment in which celebrities’ childhood pictures were shown for identification. The segment included images of well-known stars like Mehwish Hayat, Iqra Aziz, Sajal Aly and Atif Aslam. However, one particular photo was incorrectly presented as Yumna Zaidi’s childhood image. It was later revealed that the picture actually belonged to a young girl named Faryal Hameed. Following the broadcast, Yumna Zaidi took to Instagram to clarify that the image was not hers, prompting widespread reaction on social media. As criticism grew, Javeria Saud issued a public apology, stating that her team had sourced the image from social media without proper verification. She expressed regret over the oversight and acknowledged the mistake.
