Actor Arsalan Naseer took to his social media to criticise the growing trend of showing off wealth on Eidul Azha, calling out people displaying larger sacrificial goats as a status symbol — a comment that drew mixed reactions online.

Naseer shared a statement on his Instagram story, writing, “It’s unfortunate to see this Eid becoming a display of wealth and status. Many will sacrifice an animal, but only a few will sacrifice their pride.”

The comment received mixed reactions online. Some agreed with the actor while others argued there was no need for him to judge people’s intentions.

One user supported Naseer’s point, noting that many families cannot even afford to offer a sacrifice this year due to inflation.

Another criticised the actor for being judgemental, saying, “Rather than judging others, I guess people should focus on them first. There’s no need to judge someone’s intentions.”

Naseer is a popular actor, writer, and internet personality known for both comedic and romantic roles. He made his television debut in the 2021 Ramadan drama Chupke Chupke.
