She did two international projects and she isn't even 30 yet. Pak industry is very small so it's a big deal unlike Indian film industry. If this award is equivalent to Padma Shri then it is given to people in the field of arts and science and culture etc. Unlike India which has a well established arts and culture industry all pakistan has is their actors and musicians. So obviously it will be given to actors that are appreciated for their acting.
You yourself said these actors have been only a source of entertainment for you and nothing more. That's exactly their job. To entertain people with their craft. They are not activist or social workers. They are not morally obligated to stand against powerful regimes and fight for anything. Acting is their job and they are doing that just the way everyone else in Pakistan is doing their job.
I don't see people being mad at Ambani's or Tatas or the cricketers for not taking a stand for the country or speak against the government. Why are actors expected or forced to do so? The richest people in Pakistan probably holds more power than the government. Why not ask them to take a stand? Why not leave the jobs provided by the rich people and stand for the country? Is it only the actors that have moral obligation towards the country?
Like you who can have a political opinion they can as well and it's their personal choice whether to openly talk about it or not. Like everyone have the right to freedom of speech and expression in a democracy they also have the right to remain silent.
Why do people expect actors to be freedom fighters? They have a life and they also need to survive. If the government comes after them who is gonna protect their family? Everyone saw what happened to srk, one of the biggest superstars in the world. Pak actors are literally cake walk for the political party, whether it's the ruling or the opposition. They will be bashed and character assassinated no matter what they do. If some actors take the opposition's side then the followers of the ruling party will be after them and if it's the other way then the opposition will be after them.
There are many more people who deserved tamgha e Imtiaz not Sajal for her over acting. Usman peerzada's brother works in Hollywood, one more Pakistani I don't know the name of him but saw him in several Hollywood movies, one girl of Pakistan is a top director in Hollywood but Pakistan never acknowledged her and Bilal Lashari gave a mind blowing direction and highest grossing movie to Pakistan, why don't give it to them.
Anyone can have political opinion, I never said against it. They were all silent on IK's arrest I never objected on it but all of them after bluffing about woman empowerment and humanity goes around supporting an animal which is like insulting the blood people shed for freedom. These are the same people who drags women on the roads, beats them and assaults them. One has to live in Pakistan to know what they are actually doing here because these international media is only feeding half baked stories to everyone.
When people can troll Hamza for working with an abuser and Feroze for being one then why not Sajal who praised a beast. Nadia Jamil goes around working for child labor but appreciates these people who killed a small child for supporting IK. These actors are meant for entertainment but people idealizes them which is wrong. Feroze fans defends him in abuse allegations and you are defending her for her statement which is my exact problem. These celebrities aren't worth it. There influence is my problem. Calling them King, Queen and purest souls is wrong.
Tomorrow if they will praise the ones who are killing people in Kashmir do you think we should support them on it or give them the right of freedom of speech when they are supporting those who snatched the right of freedom from millions? It isn't about political opinion it is all about basic human decency. If they can't have a heart to care for their own people then they shouldn't expect any love from them either.
These celebrities doesn't even know that they are being used as puppets and if they think that all the tall claims government made about the filming equipment is true then I pity their intelligence.
Nevermind ignore my posts because these hypocrites frustrated me and I needed to rant it somewhere. I can't stand Sajal's face because of the amount of disgust I feel by looking at her. It is the reason I'm not watching any drama and just reading updates because I can't stand these heartless people. đ¤˘
