Pakistani social media star Alina Amir is going viral on all social media sites after a lip-syncing video of one of her dialogue of a Bollywood movie attracted a sensation of memes, a series of comments, and trolling on the Internet. Her video, with a dialogue on the Bollywood film Hasee Toh Phasee, “Meri Body Mein Sensations Hote Hain”, has gained popularity in both Pakistan and India.
The video, firstly performed by Parineeti Chopra and then remixed by Yashraj Mukhate, a music producer, with lip-sync by Alina Amir, appeared on a TV show on a local television channel, and became a viral hit on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. The viral video by Alina Amir features her performance in an expressive way, which gained a lot of attention in a short time, views, shares, and reactions.
However, the viral act provoked a general backlash in spite of her increasing popularity. There were some negative reviews by some of the users in X and YouTube as to the authenticity of the video by doubting the validity of lip-syncing to copyrighted audio sounds as a talent. The memes poking fun at her facial expressions and stylization had been spread across, and she was compared to other influencers, such as Sistrology. Some people on social media criticized her claiming that her work is more about virality rather than creativity.
Alina Amir has not yet answered the trolling. She regularly updates her Tik Tok and YouTube accounts though she is still working on establishing herself within the online realm. The Meri Body Mein Sensations format is still one of the most popular in the region among content creators.
