Jeeto Pakistan’s New Segment Sparks Backlash: Public Slams Fahad Mustafa for Objectifying Women
Posted on March 8, 2025 by News Desk
The popular Ramadan game show, Jeeto Pakistan League (JPL), hosted by Fahad Mustafa, has once again found itself at the center of controversy. This time, a newly introduced segment has ignited backlash, with critics accusing the show of objectifying women.
What’s the Controversy About?
Jeeto Pakistan is known for its exciting challenges, celebrity team captains, and lavish giveaways. The show features teams representing different cities, led by stars like Sana Javed, Adnan Siddiqui, Aijaz Aslam, Shoaib Malik, Shaista Lodhi, and Sarfaraz Ahmed. However, a recent segment aired during the Ramadan transmission has caused a storm on social media.
A viral clip shows Fahad Mustafa, along with team captains Adnan Siddiqui and Aijaz Aslam, inviting female audience members to participate in a competition solely based on their appearance. The winner was chosen based on who looked the best-dressed, leading many to question the problematic nature of such a contest.
Public Outrage: Netizens React
As soon as the clip went viral, social media users flooded platforms with mixed reactions. While some viewers enjoyed the segment, many condemned the show for promoting beauty-based judgment.
One user expressed their disappointment, stating:
❝ It’s disgusting to judge women solely based on their looks. ❞
Another commented:
❝ I knew this segment would become controversial, but I actually like it. ❞
Additionally, some pointed out a lack of inclusivity, as no hijabi women were selected in the contest. A user remarked:
❝ This is shameful. Why were hijabi women ignored? ❞
On the other hand, a few defended the segment, arguing that people judge appearances all the time, making the outrage hypocritical.
Fahad Mustafa’s Stance on Objectification Under Scrutiny
The backlash has led to renewed discussions about Fahad Mustafa’s previous statements. The host has, in the past, criticized social media influencers and vloggers for objectifying women. Critics are now questioning his own stance, accusing him of double standards.
The Need for Responsible Entertainment
As the debate intensifies, many are calling for responsible content creation. Jeeto Pakistan League has been a household favorite for years, but controversies like this raise questions about the role of mainstream media in shaping societal narratives.
Should entertainment shows continue to focus on looks and superficiality, or is it time for a shift towards meaningful and inclusive content?
