Asim Azhar was quick to shut down the trollers and tweeted himself:
Kamaal hai waise… pehle depression aur mental health pe lectures dete hain aur kuch din baad khud kisi ko depression ka shikaar bana dete hain apni bullying aur nafrat se. ๐๐๐ฝ

When Asim was asked what it was like working with a TikTok star and how Areeka Haq is as a costar. Asim replied โIt was as nice as working with any other professional or costar. I think Areeka is an extremely talented girl and the world is yet to see her full potential. I must emphasize that she was very professional, and that was pleasantly surprising.โ
Soon other celebrities joined in to support Areeka Haq on Twitter after the young TikToker posted about being depressed due to the backlash:
Saba Qamar supported the 16 year old TikTok star:
