An influencer, @that_annoyingkiddzzz, shared a video featuring Hamid in what was described as an inappropriate context, accompanied by a mocking tone. The clip did not sit well with Nia, who stepped in to defend her co-performer. Taking to Instagram on March 27, Nia strongly criticised the post and urged people to report the account. “If you guys know what she’s posted… kindly report this account. You don’t go below the belt for views. Tried telling you politely… your brain is missing clearly,” she wrote.



She further expressed her anger over the situation, adding, “Tum logon ke do kodi ke views ke liye… you don’t put anyone’s dignity down! Life’s beyond views and followers.”

Following the backlash, the influencer shared another video defending her actions and revealed that Nia had personally reached out, asking her to delete the clip. The video in question has since been taken down.

I’ve never felt this kind of connection anywhere else in my life, even when I’m not part of the show. Mere 15 saal ki career journey ek taraf, aur Laughter Chefs ek taraf.
