Pakistani actress and host Fiza Ali has responded to criticism following a viral moment from her morning show involving her husband Ejaz Khan.

The controversy erupted after a clip showed Ejaz lifting Fiza during a live broadcast, prompting mixed reactions online.

Some viewers labelled the act inappropriate, while others defended it as a lighthearted moment between a married couple.

In a statement on Instagram, Fiza said the video circulating on social media was a brief, out-of-context clip.

She described the moment as spontaneous and harmless, urging critics not to misinterpret it negatively.

She added that she has always respected her audience and professional responsibilities, and will continue to do so.

However, she noted that clarifications are often misrepresented, which is why she sometimes prefers to remain silent.

The incident occurred during a special show where Fiza had invited her husband as a guest.

Their daughter was also present and playfully asked Ejaz to lift her mother on live television — something he did, sparking the viral moment.

The clip quickly spread online, dividing users. Critics questioned regulatory oversight, with some calling on authorities to restrict such content. Others dismissed the backlash, calling it an expression of affection blown out of proportion.

Fiza recently announced her marriage to Ejaz at the age of 41, revealing they met in the UK.

Their relationship soon turned into marriage, formalised during Eid celebrations.
