Hira Mani is no stranger to strong reactions. Whether praise or criticism, her performances often spark conversation, and that is exactly what happened with her recent drama Dayan.
The popular Pakistani actor recently appeared on Maliha Rehman’s YouTube show, where she addressed the intense trolling, memes, and debates surrounding Dayan. Instead of sounding defensive, Hira offered a calm, honest take on why criticism did not bother her and how it may have actually helped the drama succeed.
Her candid remarks quickly caught attention online, especially among fans who followed Dayan closely until its final episode.

Over the years, Hira Mani has built a solid reputation in the television industry. She is widely admired for her emotional depth and screen presence.
Her popular dramas include Do Bol, Kashf, Sun Yara, Mere Paas Tum Ho, Sunn Mere Dil, and several others. Each role added a new layer to her acting journey and strengthened her bond with audiences.
Recently, viewers praised her performance as Shabab in Dayan, a drama that delivered strong TRPs and impressive YouTube views. At the same time, fans are also appreciating her emotionally charged role in Shar Pasand.
Despite mixed reviews, Hira remains one of the most talked-about actresses on Pakistani television.
During the interview, Hira Mani openly discussed why Dayan attracted both heavy criticism and massive viewership.
She acknowledged that many dramas follow familiar patterns. According to her, some storylines may appear predictable or unrealistic, but that does not always stop audiences from watching.
Hira explained that Dayan stood out because of its grandeur, dramatic treatment, and larger-than-life presentation. While viewers questioned certain plot choices, they stayed emotionally invested until the very end.
She pointed out that many big-budget projects lose viewers midway. In contrast, Dayan managed to keep people hooked episode after episode, which she believes is the real measure of success.
Hira Mani also shared why emotional characters feel close to her heart.
She described emotions and romance as her natural strengths. According to her, expressing deep feelings on screen comes naturally, and she considers it a blessing.
In Dayan and Sunn Mere Dil, her emotional scenes, especially moments of vulnerability and tears, resonated strongly with viewers. Hira believes this emotional honesty helps audiences connect, even when the story itself is debated.
For her, if people feel something—whether love, anger, or curiosity the actor has done her job.

One of the most talked-about parts of the interview was Hira Mani’s reaction to online trolling.
Instead of feeling upset, she said she enjoys the memes made about her. She even shares them herself.
Hira explained that criticism and trolling mean people are talking about you, and in the entertainment industry, that visibility matters. In her view, silence is far worse than criticism.
She reflected on an earlier phase in her career when she received little attention. That period, she said, was far more difficult than dealing with negative comments today.
Now that her work sparks discussion, she sees it as a sign that her presence matters.
Hira Mani emphasized that she only feels bad when a project goes unnoticed.
She shared that thousands of dramas air on television, but only a few create real buzz. When a drama is discussed, analyzed, and even criticized, it means it has made an impact.
She also addressed complaints about slow-motion scenes and repeated flashbacks. According to her, these elements become part of the conversation and help keep the drama alive in public memory.
For Hira, creating “noise” is better than fading into the background.
Ending on a reflective note, Hira Mani expressed gratitude for where she stands today.
She credited her success to hard work, public support, and faith. She said she often reminds herself that life could have been very different if opportunities had not come her way.
Currently, Hira is busy working on new drama projects and films. With her growing fan base and fearless attitude toward criticism, she shows no signs of slowing down.
Whether audiences love her roles or debate them, one thing is clear Hira Mani knows how to stay relevant in a fast-changing entertainment industry.
