A years-old television clip featuring veteran actor Javed Sheikh and actress Momina Iqbal has resurfaced on social media, drawing widespread attention and sparking mixed reactions from internet users.

The viral video is from a special Eid transmission of a morning show in which actors participated in light-hearted entertainment segments. During one of the activities, male actors were encouraged to engage in playful flirting with their female co-stars as part of the show’s format.

In the clip, Javed Sheikh is seen interacting with Momina Iqbal in a humorous and flirtatious manner. Although the segment was intended as entertainment, the video has recently gained fresh attention online, with many users sharing and commenting on it across different social media platforms.

The resurfaced footage comes at a time when Momina Iqbal has remained in the spotlight due to developments in her personal life, including legal matters and her recent marriage. As a result, the old clip has once again become a topic of public discussion.

Social media users have expressed mixed opinions about the video. Some viewers described the exchange as harmless entertainment that reflected the style of television programmes aired at the time. Others, however, felt the interaction appeared awkward and outdated when viewed through today’s standards.

Several online users criticised the clip, calling it uncomfortable and unnecessary, while others defended both actors, saying the performance should be viewed in the context of a scripted television segment rather than a real-life interaction.

Javed Sheikh is regarded as one of Pakistan’s most accomplished actors, with a career spanning several decades in television and film. Momina Iqbal has established herself as a successful actress through a number of popular drama serials and continues to be an active figure in the entertainment industry.
