Pakistani actress Naeema Butt recently found herself at the center of a small online controversy after sharing a screenshot related to an alleged death certificate request page, which led NADRA to issue an official clarification.
The actress posted a screenshot online that appeared to show a website where people could request a death certificate. The page had a button labeled “Myself,” which caught her attention. Reacting to this strange wording, Naeema Butt made a joke, writing that the option seemed made for “people who are dead from inside and walking alive.”
Her comment quickly spread on social media, with many people sharing and discussing the screenshot. Since the page appeared to be linked with government records, some users assumed it belonged to NADRA, Pakistan’s official body responsible for identity and registration services.
To clear up the confusion, NADRA released a statement saying the data entry page shown in the screenshot was not connected to any of its services, systems, or official platforms. The authority added that linking unverified or fake content to NADRA was misleading and would not be accepted.
NADRA also used the opportunity to remind the public to be careful about sharing unverified information. It advised people to avoid spreading false claims about NADRA and stressed that any information about the authority should be confirmed through official channels before being shared. The organization warned that spreading misleading information could lead to legal action under relevant laws.
This incident shows how a simple joke on social media can quickly turn into a wider misunderstanding, especially when it touches on sensitive topics like official government documents.
