Popular television actress Komal Meer, known for her roles in acclaimed dramas like Ehd-e-Wafa, Qalandar, and Wehshi, is back in the spotlight with her latest project Goonj, currently airing on Hum TV. The drama marks her much-anticipated return to the screen, but her appearance and performance have stirred a wave of debate on social media.

In Goonj, Komal plays an emotionally intense character—a departure from her earlier light-hearted or romantic roles. However, while some fans have praised her for embracing a challenging role, others have focused more on her appearance than her acting.

Online users have speculated about visible cosmetic enhancements and recent weight changes, leading to polarized opinions. Some viewers have commented that she looks significantly different from her previous on-screen appearances, prompting discussions about body image and the pressure actresses face in the industry.

Critics have also taken aim at her performance in the drama’s opening episode. Several viewers described her acting as overly dramatic, particularly during a key emotional scene involving her character’s confrontation with her father. Comments ranged from mild critique to humorous takes, with one user comparing her post-surgery look to other celebrities, saying, “She tried to become Hania Aamir with surgery—but it didn’t work.”

Despite the criticism, Komal Meer continues to enjoy a strong fan base, many of whom have defended her, emphasizing that actors are entitled to personal choices and should be appreciated for their craft rather than judged solely on appearance.
