Pakistani actress and host Mahira Khan has criticized the social elite of Karachi for their insensitive response to the Gilgit-Baltistan tragedy. In recent videos, Mahira Khan has been actively engaging with the public and authorities, sharing her concerns and opinions on the matter. She recently posted a video on Instagram, criticizing the social elite for their lack of empathy and compassion towards the victims of the disaster.
In the video, Mahira Khan mentioned that while people are discussing the Gilgit-Baltistan tragedy, government apathy, and the loss of precious lives, she wanted to talk about the social elite’s response. She stated that they, as Pakistani citizens, do not stand with their suffering brothers and sisters. Mahira Khan pointed out that a charity branch in Karachi held a scheduled event on January 18, despite the devastating fire on January 17. A fashion show was held at the Khaliq Din Hall, which is just a few minutes away from the site of the tragedy. A launch ceremony for Scents and Care was also held, with prominent personalities in attendance. Pakistani actress and host Zainab Qayyum expressed concern over the growing social divide in Pakistan.
Mahira Khan expressed her disappointment with the social elite’s behavior, saying that they should be ashamed of themselves. She questioned why they did not cancel their events, despite the fact that a lot of money had already been spent. She compared this to the Oscars, where all events were canceled when a wildfire broke out in the nearby forest. Mahira Khan urged the social elite to be ashamed, be empathetic, and stand with those who are suffering.
Her post sparked a wave of comments on social media, with many users expressing their agreement with her views. They criticized the social elite for their callous behavior, saying that Pakistan is becoming a heartless society. The post also drew attention to the recent controversy surrounding Bollywood actress Juhi Chawla’s lookalike.
The post mentioned several other celebrities, including Pakistani actress Saba Qamar, actor Agha Ali, and director Shamoon Abbasi. It also talked about the recent controversy surrounding the release of the movie “Bar Bar Dekho” in Gulf countries. The post also mentioned the efforts of Pakistan’s interior minister, the controversy surrounding the land allocated for the Gilgit-Baltistan tragedy, and the efforts of the Sindh government to rebuild the affected area.
