Mani and Hira, the formidable duo has been known for giving out unfiltered and honest opinions as per their thinking, about every single celebrity for the longest period of time. There was a time where people disliked Hira and Mani for stating every single thought that ran through their minds. Hira and Mani used their honesty as their USP and they believed it wouldn’t come back to them ever. For the longest time, Hira and Mani, be it on their own show or on other talk/morning shows did not shy away from saying what they felt about every single Pakistani celebrity whether it was rude or insensitive.
The audience saw a change in both Hira and Mani’s attitudes when Hira started taking her acting career seriously. Hira worked alongside Mani for a considerable amount of time where they both co-hosted a show called Hum Do Hamara Show and then they did sit-coms together. It was too obvious that at that point in their lives, they did not think about how they might have to face the consequences of the things they have been saying about others for years.
In a recent interview, Mani while speaking to Samina Peerzada did mention that he had to take a step back because his involvement and association with Hira was costing her a lot of good projects. That probably was the time when both Hira and Mani decided to work on their image and fix it because they both were well aware of the fact that their words and opinions have caused a lot of damage.
In an interview with Fuchsia, Hira Mani herself also admitted that Imran Abbas refused to work with her and rejected the project straight away after finding out that he will be paired with Hira Mani. The interviewer asked Hira what questions will she ask Mani if she’ll get a chance to interview Mani. Hira said Mani has taken a backseat ever since he has realized that his bluntness and honesty was affecting Hira’s career. In fact Hira yet again turned it into a chance to mention that this is Mani’s love for her that he stopped doing what he was known for. Hira stated that the things Mani asked Imran Abbas during Hum Do Hamara Show rubbed him the wrong way. Hira told that not only Imran Abbas but Naveen Waqar also refused to work with Hira. Hira did however mention that things have been sorted between her and Imran Abbas and they are on good terms with each other. Hira went to speak about Yasir Hussain that he is now working on the lines of Mani but she did speak from her experience and stated that this might cause trouble to Iqra Aziz in the future as well.
