Zhalay Sarhadi, the actress from Pakistan, compared social media to a strict desi mother in response to the uproar surrounding a promotional campaign for Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
The campaign, which has been running for a few days, involves a number of social media influencers showcasing Maryam Nawaz’s accomplishments along with well-known Pakistani celebrities such as singer Aima Baig, Urwa Hocane, Sanam Saeed, Saba Qamar, and Zhalay Sarhadi.
However, the ad has not gone over well with the public, who have called for a boycott of the participating musicians and expressed outrage.
Zhalay Sarhadi shared a funny comment on her Instagram account in response to the criticism, comparing social media users to rigid “desi moms.”
