Controversy	In November 2020, Zoya Nasir was slammed by her fans and followers for wearing a figure-hugging Halloween costume and embracing western cultural norms. Reportedly, on 1 November 2020, Zoya's boyfriend, Christian Betzmann, uploaded a picture on his Instagram account alongside Zoya who was wearing a figure-hugging Halloween costume. Hence, the Pakistani actress became the target of audience brutality and hate speech in the comment section of the Instagram picture for wearing an indecent outfit which did not qualify the standards of decent clothing of some religious fanatics in Pakistan. As the comments began to pile up, Christian put an end to the intensifying negativity by posting a comment that read “For all religious opinions make sure to mention your concerns in your next prayers – HATE COMMENTS WILL BE BLOCKED!.” [6]INCPAK
