KARACHI( The COW News Digital) The recent award ceremony in Pakistan’s entertainment industry turned into a viral sensation when actress Sajal Aly gave a sharp and witty response to host Yasir Hussain, leaving the entire hall roaring with laughter.
The glamorous evening, filled with stars, lights, and celebration, took an unexpected turn when Sajal Aly stepped onto the stage to present an award.

According to eyewitnesses and clips circulating on social media, Yasir kept teasing Sajal in his signature comedic style, assuming he had the upper hand. However, Sajal responded with calm confidence and a charming smile, delivering a one-liner that stole the show:

Social media users were quick to react, splitting into two camps.
