Durefishan Saleem has faced mockery online since wearing a sleeveless dress in episode 20 of Dar-e-Nijaat. Former Miss Universe Pakistan Roma Riaz has now come to her defence. In an Instagram story, Riaz said it was painful to see a talented actor "reduced to a conversation about her arms".

She questioned how comfortable people have become with commenting on women's bodies, and said the pressure to fit beauty standards is especially hard on young girls. She urged fans to praise Saleem's performance as Zaryab in the ARY Digital drama instead.
