Actor Sehar Khan has spoken out against the rise of content that centres on humiliating guests, particularly women, in the name of entertainment.
Her sharp criticism followed a strongly worded Instagram story, where she expressed deep frustration with podcasters who deliberately corner and shame their guests. Khan said she felt compelled to address a growing culture of content that thrives on disrespect and public embarrassment rather than genuine conversation.
Her comments resonated widely among fans who increasingly question the motives behind viral podcast clips circulating across South Asian social media. The actor made it clear she believes this behaviour reflects a troubling shift in digital media dynamics. “Honestly, I need to get this off my chest,” she wrote while discussing the direction many podcasts seem to have taken recently.
She said she found it disturbing that hosts invite guests only to insult them or force answers to questions meant to embarrass them.
Khan described watching a particularly upsetting exchange where a woman was confronted with her own videos and pressured to justify her choices on air.
She asked why podcast hosts believe they have the authority to decide what is morally right for someone else. Khan wrote that every person has the right to live as they choose without interference from arrogant commentators who claim moral superiority.
She emphasised that only God can judge these choices, not self-appointed critics seeking online traction. Khan said such hosts disguise humiliation as moral accountability when their real intention seems to be generating views. She urged people to avoid shows that thrive on shaming guests rather than fostering meaningful dialogue.
The actor called it sad to see a host repeatedly inviting people only to belittle them in front of viewers.
“Get a life bro and stop hurting people,” she concluded, expressing clear disappointment with the direction of several popular digital platforms.
