This latest ad that
stars my favorite actor Shaan with other brilliant Pakistani actors from the likes of Jawed Sheikh, Iman Ali, Saima, Mehwish Hayat and Fahad Mustafa. I loved it, fell in love with it immediately it didn’t
take me to think twice and I just loved it. And then in few seconds of watching
this number cum advertisement, I realized that the vocals for this song were
given by Indian singers Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan.
I mean, like what the
hell!! This ad was supposed to showcase Pakistani culture and its celebrities,
no offence to either Sukhwinder or Sunidhi, but what the f….? It is not their
fault that our people are dying to sign them, they are after all professionals
and simply doing their job.
But are we so
handicapped as a nation that we couldn’t find someone from Pakistan to sing for
this ad. Sorry for the language but I am really pissed off with those people
who are sitting on executive positions, earning millions from Pakistan and do
not have any shame in promoting Indian celebrities on such a high level.
I have nothing against
Indian singers and actors, I love their movies and stars but when I have to choose
there is no way that I am ditching our country’s talent. This is the reason
that people with big pockets senselessly go for Indian celebs, they do not have
any idea what kind of damage they are doing to their own country or maybe they
know and that’s why they are deliberating doing so.
Every government, every
regime has tried their best in strangling Pakistani culture. Films, music, or
any other form of art, are integral for moral and aesthetical survival of any
nation and if it is brutally murdered than the result is chaotic youth and
directionless natives.
We are a Muslim country
and if go by the basic rules of morality and understand the difference between aesthetics
and obscenity, art and vulgarity; then there is no thing that can stop us
because we are loaded with talent.
If we had a properly
functioning film industry it would have been so easy for us to show that we are a peace
loving nation and Islam is a religion of peace, equality and justice. Cinema could
have given us voice that can be heard around the world. It could have been
cultivated into a true industry creating many jobs and generating huge revenues.
If he had high level of
literacy, there could have been many authors who would write great books about
Islam and Muslims that are sold to millions around the world.
If we had given
respectful place to all forms of art, we would have been termed as a sane
nation.
Only if we had…….
Today we are a confused
nation, and our identity is being deliberately killed. It seems that it’s not
only the enemy that is attacking our boundaries but we have many stronger
enemies within who are damaging our roots only because of crappy cash.
Pakistan is highly
rated for the most charity giving country in the world. No doubt about that
because we are trying to bribe Allah now.
Nevertheless the Reality
is, that all these huge sums of charities, artificial prayers, Hajj or Umrahs
cannot bribe God. With Him it’s all straight forward and clean accounts.
I am sure God must be
laughing on us and thinking that we are a bunch of idiots, who have no idea
whether they will be able to take next breath, and that we will meet our Creator with
empty pockets only loaded with our deeds and actions in this world.
Huhh.... only if we
really knew.
May we become true
humans. Good Night!
