Pakistani celebrity Fiza Ali is no stranger to making headlines, whether it’s for her viral videos, outspoken personality, or high-profile career in acting and hosting.
The former Mehndi star, who currently hosts a morning show on City42, is once again at the center of public debate—this time for discussing an intimate and sensitive topic on live television.
In a recent episode of her morning show, Fiza Ali hosted Dr. Shawana Mufti, a well-known aesthetician and medical expert, to discuss women’s sexual health and wellness—a topic rarely addressed openly on Pakistani television.
Dr. Shawana Mufti emphasized the importance of medical intervention for women facing sexual dysfunction, stating:
Ladies who are sexually inactive should seek proper treatment because medical care is crucial for sexual well-being. If a woman is medically unfit, she needs BRT Hormone Replacement Therapy. Supplements can also improve health, but a nutritious diet rich in estrogen is key. I am working on making BRT treatment more affordable for women.”=
She further recommended foods like legumes, lentils, broccoli, flaxseed, and green vegetables for improving overall health.
While some viewers appreciated the open conversation, many social media users were outraged by the discussion, accusing Fiza Ali and her guest of crossing cultural boundaries by openly talking about women’s intimate health issues on national television.
Some critics argued that such topics should be kept private and that Fiza Ali and Dr. Shawana Mufti were tarnishing their reputations by discussing personal matters in public. Others accused TV channels of pushing controversial topics for ratings rather than addressing real societal issues.
A few netizens also brought religious perspectives into the debate, questioning whether such discussions align with cultural and moral values. Meanwhile, some critics took jabs at Fiza Ali’s personal life, using her single-mother status to fuel the controversy.
While the backlash is strong, some supporters argue that discussing women’s health openly is necessary to break social taboos and spread awareness. However, given Fiza Ali’s history of controversial stunts, many are debating whether this was a genuine attempt to educate women or just another attention-seeking move.
What do you think? Should such discussions be encouraged on television, or do they cross ethical boundaries? Let us know in the comments!
