Back when Meray Paas Tum Ho was the talk of the town, Sonya Hussyn revealed that she was offered the role of Mehwish before Ayeza Khan but rejected it because it portrayed women in a bad light.

And while people loved her stance on rejecting the role of Mehwish, they feel that her on-air drama Mohabbat Tujhay Alvida narrates the story of a similar woman:

People were calling her a hypocrite:

No doubt!
But she is very good actress

That’s one way to put it!
In MTA she is portraying brave side of women. Like brave enough to sell her husband. Isn't it? 🤣

Some found her to be an opportunist:

Others weren’t too happy with the drama:
She is acting so over in the drama..it's very annoying 🙄

People also bought in Yasir Hussain’s comment to throw shade:
And then they raise hue and cry about promoting the local content & have the audacity to call other artists an "international garbage"- way to go 👏👏👏🤦🏻♀️ https://t.co/zbaRXU4oaP

People were also appalled that she is doing a film opposite Mohsin Abbas Haider:
Also, she is doing a film with Mohsin Abbas, the same man who beat his wife and then accused her of cheating while he was cheating on her. https://t.co/uOnDOC7yOh

People had some very bold opinions:
Showbiz mei aap apna deen emaan bech k ghuste hein! https://t.co/DWVpGfuexh

MPTH fans were kinda happy:
I'm so so happy she didn't do MPTH she could have ruined the character.

Some were looking at the bright side:
At Least Better Than Mere Pass Tum Ho , Haraam Relationship With An Another Man… https://t.co/oka572AgAF

Fans really think that there must be a reason for it:
There is difference between begharati & making ur husband marry another one , mehwish sold herself/ love for money she were living with a man without nikkah , ulfat sell her husband put him into a halal rishta she still love her husband tou maybe there must be a reason behind all https://t.co/tFFho8UNaJ

Some had theories of their own:
