Ahmed Ali Butt under fire over Humaira Asghar podcast repost
Ahmed Ali Butt has drawn public ire, allegedly for cashing in on the tragic death of actress and model Humaira Asghar.
The actor reposted a previously recorded podcast episode with Humaira Asghar shortly after news of her death made headlines. The video quickly garnered around 200,000 views but also triggered accusations of opportunism.
Butt’s decision to re-premiere the episode, originally uploaded 11 months ago, has sparked widespread criticism, with many social media users accusing him of using the tragedy for personal gain.
“Everyone is uploading her clips, so he thought, ‘Why not me?’” one fan commented. Another added, “We all know the motive behind this… more views and monetisation. She’s become a hot topic now.”

Critics also referenced a claim made by Humaira’s mother, who reportedly said she had contacted Ahmed Ali Butt in December, seeking media support, but received no response. “He ignored her when she needed him most, and now he’s doing this for drama,” one disappointed follower wrote.
As the backlash intensified, Butt issued a public clarification and reposted Humaira’s podcast once again.
“There is a lot of misinformation going on about the late Humaira Asghar Ali and her family. We have reposted the podcast for the sole purpose of letting people get to know the real Humaira and her life struggles. People have been posting and editing clips from the show for their own reasons — you should get to see the full podcast for yourself,” he explained.
Despite the clarification, public opinion remains divided. While some believe he intended to honour Humaira’s memory, others insist that the reposting was ill-timed and insensitive.
