Pakistani actress Zhalay Sarhadi sparked a lively discussion online by likening social media to a strict “desi mom,” following backlash over her involvement in a promotional campaign for Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
The campaign, which featured endorsements from several well-known figures including Urwa Hocane, Sanam Saeed, Saba Qamar, Zhalay Sarhadi, and singer Aima Baig, faced significant criticism from the public, leading to calls for a boycott against the participating artists.
Responding to the growing discontent, Zhalay Sarhadi took to her Instagram story to draw a humorous comparison. She humorously remarked, “Social media is just like a desi mom. After a whole day of work, if you leave a glass on the table, you’ll hear, ‘Useless! You don’t do anything.'” Sarhadi elaborated on her analogy, highlighting how both social media users and desi moms scrutinize minor mistakes, quickly passing judgment based on isolated incidents.
Sarhadi also clarified that while she participated in the campaign, her true passion lies in acting rather than modeling. Her lighthearted approach to addressing the situation underscores the complexities of navigating public opinion in today’s digital landscape, where every action is closely observed and debated.
