Nisho Jee, a celebrated star from Pakistan’s golden film era and mother of actress Sahiba, is mourning the sudden loss of her son-in-law. The 47-year-old, who was also the son of actress Firdaus Begum, passed away due to a cardiac arrest, leaving the family in shock. In a heartfelt YouTube vlog, Nisho Jee, visibly distraught, shared the tragic news and requested prayers for the departed soul.
Despite her grief, the veteran actress faced unexpected backlash over her appearance in the video. Dressed in white with full makeup, styled hair, and fresh mehendi, some viewers questioned her decision to present herself so meticulously while announcing a death. Critics argued that the focus should have been solely on the loss rather than her appearance, with comments like, “This isn’t the time for makeup—be with your family.”
Supporters, however, defended Nisho Jee, pointing out that public figures often maintain a composed demeanor even in grief. Some noted that cultural norms may differ, and recording a vlog could have been her way of coping or addressing fan inquiries respectfully. Others stressed that grief manifests differently for everyone, and judgment over appearances is unnecessary during such a painful time.
The incident has sparked a broader debate on how society scrutinizes women—even in moments of sorrow. Should Nisho Jee have been spared the criticism, or does public sharing invite public opinion? As condolences pour in for the family, the discussion continues on where to draw the line between personal grief and public perception.
