Burak Özçivit
In 2017, Jaberi received a lot of criticism for writing the comment "We love you: Seni Seviyoruz"{{cite web | url=https://www.gazetemag.com/araplar-burak-ozcivit-ile-mahlahga-jaberi-en-iyi-cift-ilan-etti/ | title=Araplar Burak Özçivit ile Mahlahga Jaberi en iyi çift ilan etti – | date=4 February 2017 }} under one of the posts of the Turkish actor "Burak Özçivit".{{cite web | url=https://www.bursadabugun.com/galeri/magazin/iranli-model-mahlagha-jaberi-burak-ozcivit-beni-cok-incitti-50007/2.html | title=İranlı model Mahlagha Jaberi: Burak Özçivit beni çok incitti! }} Although Mahlagha's comment led to her recognition among the Turkish people and increased her fame, it was also accompanied by negative reflection from Iranian and Turkish users. Later, Mahlagha stated in an interview with the Iranian magazine "Pol"{{cite web | url=https://polmagazine.com/exclusive-interview-with-mahlagha-jaberi/ | title=Exclusive interview with Mahlagha Jaberi | date=16 December 2023 }} that Burak had blocked her on Instagram. She explained her comment: "all Iranians were talking about Burak’s character in the series and how his incredible acting showed so many emotions, and my family and friends became fans of his work. To compliment him on his work, I decided to reach out to let him know how much we love him by commenting, “We love you.” Unfortunately, people took my comment the wrong way and interpreted it as I was “in love with him;” which was not true or correct. I personally believed he blocked me on social media, I did feel disrespected and confused at the time, but I don’t hate him. Just not a fan of Burak anymore.{{cite web | url=https://www.milliyet.com.tr/cadde/mahlagha-jaberiden-burak-ozcivit-aciklamasi-2392405 | title=Mahlagha Jaberi'den Burak Özçivit açıklaması | date=8 February 2017 }}
