So, Faisal Rehman’s latest dance video is blowing up the Pakistani internet. And by "blowing up," I mean it's getting absolutely roasted in the comments section. The clip, which seems to be from a recent appearance or show, has become the latest fuel for the endless fire of netizen opinions.
Let's be real: we've all seen it. The moves are… enthusiastic. They have a certain old-school, carefree charm that feels both nostalgic and, in today's hyper-polished world of choreography, a bit out of step. And that’s exactly why the internet has pounced.
The trolling is, predictably, a mixed bag. There are the genuinely funny, creative memes—side-by-side comparisons, sped-up versions, playful edits. Then there's the darker side: the mean-spirited, personal jabs that cross the line from critiquing a performance to attacking a person.
This whole situation makes me think about two things.
**First, the Unforgiving Lens of 2026.** We consume content at lightning speed. A moment is captured, uploaded, and globally judged within hours. There’s no room for context—was this a fun segment on a light-hearted show? Was he just goofing around? The internet often doesn’t care. It sees a clip, reacts, and moves on to the next thing. The performer’s intent or the moment's joy can get completely lost in the rush to make a joke.
**Second, the Courage to Just… Dance.** Look, I’m not here to be a dance critic. But in an age where celebrities are often overly guarded, meticulously curated by PR teams, there’s something almost refreshing about someone just getting out there and doing their thing, fully aware it might not be "trending." It takes a thick skin. Love the moves or hate them, Faisal Rehman is out there, participating, entertaining, and giving people something to talk about. In a way, that’s his job, and he’s certainly succeeded.
The lesson for any public figure? In 2026, you can’t control the narrative once something is online. A performance can become a meme in seconds. The only choice is to own it—either with graceful silence, a self-aware clapback, or by just continuing to do you.
For us, the audience? Maybe we could aim to be funnier without being crueler. There’s a difference between poking fun at a *performance* and attacking a *person*. The former can be communal comedy; the latter just adds to the digital noise of negativity.
At the end of the day, he’s dancing. Most of us watching are just typing. Who’s really having more fun?
Catch you on the next viral beat,
