Despite the statement being over a year old, the viral clip from the Footprint Podcast (Season 2, Episode 7) — hosted by Hina Altaf and Syed Ali — has sparked fresh outrage on social media.

The Viral Statement: What Nida Said

In the podcast, Nida shared,

> “I travel a lot, so I often get business class deals and discounts. Whenever Yasir and I get a good package, we grab it — but I don’t let my kids travel in business class.”

She added,

> “I’ve made it clear to my children that they’ll get to enjoy business class only when they start earning for themselves. Until then, they’ll continue flying economy.”

While the statement was seemingly made with practical intentions, it didn’t sit well with many netizens.

Social Media Backlash: “Double Standards?”

Soon after the clip went viral, users flooded the internet with criticism, calling Nida’s mindset “strange” and “discriminatory.”

One user wrote:

> “Why can’t your own children travel business class? Are they adopted?”

Another sarcastically said:

> “What’s the point of having wealth if your children can’t benefit from it? Might as well raise them in a hut while you live in a palace.”

Some mothers expressed concern, saying:

> “As a mom, I’d never choose comfort for myself and not for my children. Vacations are meant to be family time — not separating parents and kids even on a plane.”

Another added:

> “If you create emotional distance through such gestures, your children may grow apart from you over time.”

Public Opinion Divided

While some supported Nida’s view as a lesson in humility and hard work, many others felt her approach was unfair, especially when it came to parenting.

A user commented:

> “You can teach them discipline without isolating them. There’s a way to balance both love and learning.”

Another asked,

> “Why do Pakistani celebrities love flaunting business class so much? Is it really that important? Also, is sharing every detail of your personal life necessary?”
