Samiya Hijab disables comments after viral dance video sparks backlash

Social media influencer Samiya Hijab has once again found herself at the centre of online debate after posting a new dance video on Tuesday. The clip, in which she performs to Talwiinder’s song “Pal Pal” in a TV lounge, quickly went viral, drawing thousands of reactions and sparking widespread discussion.

In the post, Samiya captioned the video: “Life when nobody’s son is ruining your mental health.” While the video gained attention rapidly, many users criticised her content, targeting both her dance and her clothing. Some comments accused her of posting such “controversial” videos repeatedly, while others described her outfit as inappropriate.

The backlash prompted Samiya to disable comments on the video post. However, her activity continued the following day when she uploaded another dance video. Once again, the post attracted criticism, with one user remarking: “Plz don’t shit on social media.” Despite the flood of negative feedback, she has not yet turned off comments on this latest post.
