A lot of people talked about her confidence, liveliness, and humor in front of the camera. Following immense fame in a short span of time, Nimra was called upon different tv channels for interviews.
But, it took no longer for the famed girl to find herself in trouble after making controversial comments regarding the Hindu religion.
A Pakistani Hindu social activist named Kapil Dev pointed out on Twitter that how Nimra made fun of his religion during a live show and also criticized the anchors for not correcting her despite knowing the sensitive minorities issue in the country.
It was fun watching Nimra, but she, like many other ignorants, does know that 5 million #Hindus live in #Pakistan. She is a kid, but not the anchors.They should’ve corrected her when she said “Hindu ki Maiya Mar Gayi” rather than clapping on her jingoistic remark. #PakistanForAll pic.twitter.com/PTIup9yVMI

Replying to the Twitter user, Nimra apologized for her comments and clarified she was copying a Pakistani drama character.
I am so sorry @KDSindhi Sir, I was just copying a character done by @Iamsajalali (One of my favt. actresses) , didn’t want to hurt you or anyone from #Hindu community😢 #PakistanForAll https://t.co/tJsKUp4Lks

Her apology was accepted and people asked her to be careful with such things in the future.
Your apology has been accepted, but Nimra Jee it is not your fault, it is bcz of our systems, it happened bcz your mind felt free, your psychology permitted you at that time,
Otherwise a Hindu can’t imagine to say like this, bcz he knows he would be killed even after apology…😊— Hera Lal Manjiani⚖️ (@Heralalmanjiani) September 25, 2020
Thank you, Nimra for realising your mistake. I was so happy to see you on the screen but you need to be bit careful too what you say. God bless you.

ملنے میں مدت لگ جاتی نمرہ اور جانے میں منٹ تمھاری زندہ دلی سبکو بھائی الّلہ اسکو ہمیشہ سلامت رکھے مگر بچے کوشش کرنا کہ مذہب سیاست اور متنازعہ ایشوز پہ نہ بولو۔۔پھول چن کر دامن بھرنا اگر ہبڑ دبڑ میں توڑ کر بھرنےِ کی کوشش کی تو کانٹے دامن زخمی نہ کر دے،بی کئرفل❤️❤️

بیٹا پلیز سستی شہرت حاصل کرنے کے چکر میں عقل کا دامن ہاتھ سے نہ جانے دیں اور نہ ہی ان میڈیا والوں پر یقین کریں. یہ حرکت انھوں نے جان بوجھ کر آپ کے ساتھ کی ہے. یہ میڈیا والوں کا اپنی دوکان چلانے کا خاص طریقہ ہے کہ پہلے وہ ایک ستارہ ابھارتے ہیں اور پھر اسی ستارے کو توڑتے ہیں
