Renowned Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane found herself at the center of social media buzz when she shared a New Year’s message she claimed to have received from Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo. Her Instagram post, however, quickly drew skepticism and a wave of trolling from netizens.
Mawra excitedly revealed a direct message from Ronaldo, which she described as a highlight of her New Year’s celebrations. However, it was soon discovered that the message was part of an automated broadcast sent via Instagram channels, which public figures use to communicate with their followers. Thousands of Ronaldo’s fans received the same message.
The situation left many wondering whether Mawra genuinely believed the message was personal or if she was simply thrilled to have been acknowledged by the football star’s official channel. The actress has not commented on the matter, leaving the debate open.
Netizens, however, were quick to respond with sarcasm. One Instagram user quipped, “I’m genuinely so embarrassed for her,” while others pointed out they, too, had received the identical message, dismissing its significance. “Yeah, I got the same message,” another wrote, adding an eye-roll emoji.
As the trolling continues, Mawra’s fans have come to her defense, urging critics to let her enjoy the moment, regardless of its automated nature.
