The discussion was not well-received by other internet users, who joined in criticizing Yasir for her choice of questions. Digital journalist Sadia Ahmed also provided insight into the reasons behind the controversy.
This show is problematic on many levels. Peak classism, to say the least, as the women doing pedicure are rendered invisible and merely objects destined to serve the elite. It’s also promoting body dysmporhia among young girls. It’s NORMAL for women not to be hairless dolphins. https://t.co/yrhg7wfuwe

Nida Yasir’s shows consistently generate discussions and controversies due to her selection of topics for the program, making her a prominent figure in the spotlight.
Here is how netizens reacted;
A pedicure is a private grooming process which should not be aired on live TV. The pedicure providing workers also have personal dignity and this is being violated. @ARYNEWSOFFICIAL https://t.co/22USEMfmCp

Really pathetic
They’re discussing a far bigger issue than Palestine, poverty, inflation, expensive education, electricity and gas bills,insecurity and lack of education
They can’t start a morning show about women empowerment and entrepreneurship https://t.co/1zxFibwoT4— saraa (@Saphire34938524) December 4, 2023
Our media is miles away from Pakistan, actually from the world of humans https://t.co/XB8bltXcwl pic.twitter.com/gKmKERxCpO
