While her friends praised the performance, reactions online have been far less forgiving. Many social media users expressed disapproval, criticising actresses for participating in what they perceive as an undignified trend. One Facebook user commented, “Sorry, we disapprove of such ladies being role models for our innocent women and girls.” Another remarked, “Now they have nothing to do; that’s why all of them have started doing these dances.”

The harsh reactions have overshadowed Qureshi’s reputation as a respected artist in the Pakistani drama industry. Known for her roles in popular serials such as Ishq Beparwah, Nikah, Bandhay Ik Dour Se, and Nand, Qureshi is currently receiving acclaim for her portrayal of Bakhtawar in Green Entertainment’s drama Duniyapur.

Despite the backlash, Qureshi’s contributions to the industry remain widely acknowledged, with many fans continuing to appreciate her craft and versatility.
