Pakistani content creator and social media star Moaz Safdar recently stirred a wave of reactions online after he gifted his wife, Saba, a massive and extremely expensive bouquet of roses, reportedly worth Rs. 300,000 to 400,000. The extravagant floral display was so large that a special truck had to be arranged to deliver it, and Moaz didn’t miss the chance to document the moment — sharing a video of the surprise on all his social media platforms.
Mixed Public Reactions to the Grand Gesture
As expected, the video quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from the public. While many applauded Moaz Safdar’s grand romantic gesture and called it a beautiful expression of love, others criticized it as an over-the-top stunt designed more for social media likes than genuine affection.
Comments ranged from admiration to skepticism. Supporters praised the content creator for celebrating his wife publicly and generously, with some calling him a dream husband. Critics, however, questioned the intent behind the gesture, labeling it unnecessary show-off and an example of content creation disguised as affection.
Noman Ijaz Weighs In: Real Love Needs No Price Tag
The discussion around the viral video took a deeper turn when veteran Pakistani actor Noman Ijaz entered the conversation. Sharing his thoughts through social media, the respected actor called for moderation and simplicity in expressing love.
While such gifts are heartwarming, he wrote, we must remember that real relationships are not built on grand gestures, but on respect, trust, and mutual understanding.
He went on to emphasize that love does not require creating content based on what’s trending on social media. This is just video content,Noman said. Girls should not expect such expensive gifts from their husbands, and no one should put pressure on their partners to match this level of spending.
In a humorous yet pointed remark, Noman added:
Now the oppressed husbands will have to suffer again.
His post struck a chord with many, especially those who feel the pressure of social media-driven expectations in relationships. Several users echoed his thoughts, saying that such public displays often set unrealistic standards for love and relationships.
The Bigger Conversation: Love vs. Likes
The viral video and the subsequent comments from Noman Ijaz have sparked a larger debate about how social media is influencing modern relationships. Many argue that platforms like Instagram and TikTok are creating a culture where love is measured in luxury gifts and viral content, rather than emotional depth.
Psychologists and relationship experts have also weighed in on similar trends in the past, noting that public validation often overshadows personal connection, especially among influencers whose lives are constantly under public scrutiny.
What Does It Say About Us?
This event has become a case study in how online culture and content creation are shaping real-life expectations. While Moaz Safdar’s gesture was undoubtedly generous and may have been rooted in genuine affection, the public performance aspect of it drew the most attention — and criticism.
It has also reignited discussions about economic disparity, with many pointing out that not every couple can afford such grand gestures. Critics argue that influencers have a responsibility to promote balance, especially when their audience includes young, impressionable viewers.
In the end, Moaz Safdar’s extravagant bouquet for his wife has opened up more than just a conversation about roses — it has invited reflection on what truly defines love in the age of social media. Noman Ijaz’s message serves as a timely reminder that the essence of a strong relationship lies not in viral videos or lavish gifts, but in everyday acts of kindness, patience, and mutual respect.
As online culture continues to evolve, so too must our understanding of how we express and value love — not in terms of price tags, but in terms of authentic connection.
