After veteran actress Atiqa Odho’s bold remarks about male chest hair on TV stirred controversy, actor Ali Raza has fired back with a cheeky, fashion-forward response — and the internet is buzzing.
Atiqa Odho criticized the actor’s unbuttoned shirt and exposed chest in the drama Dastak, calling it “yuck” and even offering to take him to a salon for waxing. Her comments triggered a fierce online debate about double standards, body-shaming, and personal grooming choices for men.

Ali Raza, known for his witty charm, responded by posting photos in a sleeveless ivory sweater adorned with a red heart sticker, cheekily captioning it: “I hope they won’t have any problem with the sleeveless shirt — after the hairy chest.” The post quickly went viral, drawing both applause and criticism.
Fans flooded the comments with mixed reactions. While many praised Raza’s confidence and sense of humor, others backed Atiqa’s stance, claiming visible chest hair looked “cheap” on screen. Meanwhile, many defended personal grooming as a private choice, with one fan saying, “Chest hair is normal — don’t take auntie’s comments too seriously.”
The playful feud has now become a hot topic across social media, reigniting conversations about gender norms, screen modesty, and freedom of expression in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
