Rajab Butt faces mother's fury after viral gym video sparks backlash
Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt is once again in the spotlight after his mother scolded him over the viral gym controversy involving fitness influencer Sadia Baloch.
The controversy began after Rajab invited Sadia Baloch to the gym for a workout session. He later shared photos and videos from the collaboration on social media, where they quickly attracted attention and drew mixed reactions from viewers.
The story took another turn when Rajab shared a vlog featuring his mother's reaction to the controversy.
In the video, Rajab's mother expressed disappointment over Sadia Baloch's outfit, questioning why her son chose to share such content when many children and families watch his videos. She also criticised him for what she believed was setting the wrong example for his audience.
During the vlog, she was seen scolding Rajab and lightly hitting him with a stick. The moment quickly went viral, with viewers sharing mixed reactions across social media.
One user commented, "Maa g NY Sahi kha Hy Right. Wo dressing bikul b thek nhi. Family k Sath byth kr nhi dykh skty."
Another wrote, "Qasam say aj dil khush hua. Aj Maa g nay thk bat par mara. Really appreciated Maa g. Well done. Rajab bhai aj Maa g nay ye thk kia."
However, not everyone agreed with her reaction.
Some social media users questioned why the same strict approach had not been taken during Rajab Butt's previous controversies, particularly those involving his wife.
One follower commented, "Apni biwi k saath jab beghairti laga raha tab yeh dande maarti toh zyada behtar tha ma gee."
The user suggested that Rajab's mother should have stepped in earlier when, in their opinion, he was disrespecting his wife rather than reacting only to the latest controversy.
Rajab Butt has been involved in several online controversies, with many of his vlogs and personal-life moments sparking debate on social media.
Rajab later responded to the rumours surrounding his collaboration with fitness influencer Sadia Baloch, insisting the project was purely professional and created only for fitness content.
Speaking in a recent video, Rajab said he had been following Sadia Baloch's fitness content for some time before inviting her to Lahore to film workout videos for his YouTube channel. He explained that the collaboration was intended to provide fitness guidance for his female audience, including housewives, sisters, and students.
Rejecting the speculation, Rajab said Sadia's photos and videos from the shoot were a normal part of her work as a fitness influencer. He maintained that there was nothing personal between them and urged people not to draw conclusions based on short clips circulating on social media.
