Social media users were enraged at the constant price hikes, and celebrities were no exception.
Singer and actor Ahmed Ali Butt slammed how the public was more concerned with the price of the upcoming iPhone 15 than they were with the ongoing petrol price hike.
“As a nation we have lost all will to fight against this inflation which is due to corruption and bad economic policies,” he shared on Instagram.
Veteran comedian and actor Sohail Ahmed took to X, formerly Twitter, to request current government to stop implementing policies that are exploiting common folks.

پاکستانیو معافی مانگ لو
Maybe is mushkil waqt mein thora humor hi chal jata hai? Rabya Kulsoom joked that before any Pakistani, it was the petrol price that reached to the moon!
