Actress and entrepreneur Maya Ali shared heartwarming moments from a playful day out with her niece, offering fans a refreshing glimpse into her personal life — even as a fashion controversy involving designer Faiza Saqlain continues to make headlines.
Taking to Instagram, Maya posted a carousel of cheerful photos captioned: “Planned a little day out with my munchkin – ‘Phupo and Bhateeji’ day had to happen!”
The Jo Bichar Gaye actress described the outing as a day full of laughter and lighthearted fun. “We started with pumpkin picking and oh my… the laughter, the smiles, the jumping – she was having the time of her life!”
Maya added with affection, “Now that I look back, it’s clear who had more fun. Sometimes all it takes is a day with your favorite little human to remind you how good it feels to say hello to your inner child.”
Her wholesome post quickly went viral, drawing thousands of likes and comments from fans praising her warmth and family values. However, the post also arrived at a time when Maya finds herself at the center of a brewing fashion dispute.
Faiza Saqlain accuses Maya Pret of design plagiarism
The controversy began when fashion designer Faiza Saqlain accused Maya Ali’s brand, Maya Pret, of copying her signature designs and styling concepts.
According to Galaxy Lollywood, Faiza claimed that Maya’s team had “replicated” her creative ideas, expressing disappointment over what she described as “a breach of artistic integrity.”
“It’s hurtful to see years of hard work being copied, especially by someone who was once a friend,” Faiza reportedly said.
The allegations quickly divided social media users, sparking heated debate among fashion enthusiasts and fans alike.
Some sided with Faiza, insisting that Maya Pret’s designs were “clearly inspired” by Faiza’s aesthetic. Others, however, defended Maya, calling the accusations exaggerated and unfair.
“These designs are so common in every festive wear brand of Pakistan,” one user commented. “What is Faiza even talking about?” Another added, “Maya supported Faiza’s label for years — she was her muse! Now that Maya has her own brand, people can’t handle her success.”
Fans rally behind Maya
Despite the ongoing feud, Maya’s latest Instagram post drew an overwhelmingly positive response, with fans praising her for staying cheerful and grounded. Many noted that her timing was perfect — offering a reminder that personal joy can exist even amid public controversy.
With both Maya Pret and Faiza Saqlain being prominent names in Pakistan’s luxury fashion scene, the debate continues to trend across social media, turning into one of 2025’s most talked-about celebrity fashion rivalries.
As the situation unfolds, Maya Ali appears focused on her personal happiness, sharing warmth and positivity — one heartfelt “Phupo and Bhateeji” post at a time.
