Gal Gadot being honored with Walk of Fame star ignites social media criticism

Gal Gadot
  • Gal Gadot was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
  • Not everyone on the internet believes she deserved the accolade.
  • Netizens questioned what significant contributions earned her the honor.

Israeli actress Gal Gadot was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony, held outside El Capitan Theater, was attended by her husband, four daughters, director Patty Jenkins, and actor Vin Diesel. Gadot reflected on her Hollywood journey in her speech, but not everyone on the internet believes she deserved the accolade.

Social media users questioned what significant contributions earned her the honor. TikToker Kevin Smith called it “one of the funniest things”, sarcastically listing her filmography: “May I ask the age-old question, ‘for what? What did she do to earn this?’ Was it her scintillating role in Red Notice? Or performance of a lifetime in Netflix’s Heart of Stone? Or Joss Whedon’s Justice League?” The comment section echoed similar sentiments, with one user stating, “She can’t even act. It’s torture to watch her.”

Meanwhile, Gal Gadot’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony was disrupted by both pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian protesters, leading to a delay and police intervention. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators held signs and chanted against Israeli military actions, citing recent casualties in Gaza, while pro-Israeli supporters defended Gadot and expressed grief over the October 7 attack.

The controversy surrounding Gadot’s recognition intensified online, with critics condemning her support for Israel and her past military service.

Pakistani author Fatima Bhutto denounced her award, referencing Israeli attacks on Gaza that resulted in significant civilian casualties. Social media users accused Gadot of hypocrisy, arguing that she promotes love and kindness while remaining silent on Palestinian suffering. Others criticized Hollywood for honoring her amid ongoing conflict, further fueling debate over her stance and the broader Israeli-Palestinian crisis.

  • She joked about being still unmarried despite working with Usman Mukhtar

Renowned Pakistani actress Hareem Farooq recently addressed the never-ending questions about her marriage with a mix of humor and honesty.

During a special Ramadan transmission, Hareem shared her lighthearted frustration over the frequent inquiries. “Everywhere I go, people ask me about marriage,” she said, highlighting how it has become a recurring question in her life.

Joking about an industry superstition, she added, “I’ve worked with Fahad Mustafa and Usman Mukhtar, but despite all that, I’m still not married!” She playfully referred to the belief that appearing on Fahad Mustafa’s show or working with Usman Mukhtar leads to marriage, adding, “But that formula isn’t working for me!”

On a more serious note, Hareem revealed that even her parents bring up the topic every year. “They’ve been asking for years, but nothing has worked out so far,” she admitted.

She humorously recalled how her parents react when a marriage proposal arrives. “How dare the boy send a proposal?” she said, explaining that they prefer to handle the matter themselves.

Despite all the pressure, Hareem remains optimistic. “Considering how often I’m being asked, I feel like I might get married now!” she concluded with a laugh.
