Yasir Hussain’s criticism of QMobile appointing Esra Bilgiç as their brand ambassador has left the entertainment industry divided once again. While some actors have seconded Yasir’s opinion, others have said that it’s not a big deal and that international artists should be welcome in Pakistan.

While Minal Khan and Aiman Khan agreed with Yasir, Bilal Ashraf, Anoushey Ashraf and Agha Ali were of the opinion that there is no harm in foreign artists working in Pakistan.

“If Fawad and Mahira can work in India, I’m sure international artists can work here,” said Anoushey.

Agha said that actors like to be international and that we should work to welcoming them in our country. He said that we should respect them and work on building ties with other countries.

“Let outsiders feel welcomed here. And please stop making all of us actors [look] insecure,” commented Agha.

Bilal said that “art has no language or boundaries”.

He added, “Pakistan zinda dil logon ka mulk hai (Pakistan is a country of lively people).”

We need to welcome all artists from around the globe. Art has no language or boundaries. Don’t politicize everything. Love & welcome everyone. PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 Zinda Dil logon ka mulk hai. Aur Pakistani qaum kay dilon mei pyar he pyar hai 😊

Aijaz Aslam said that “healthy competition is always good”.

After all the controversy created by his status update I just decided to reach out to @yasir.hussain131 to interview him LIVE so he can talk about his issues regarding foreign artists working for Pakistani brands, animal rights and how he handles trolling. Please leave intelligent, relevant and conversational questions below. Let’s hear his opinion with an open mind. At the end of the day, we all want what’s BEST for Pakistan, please keep that thought in mind. Also, disrespecting your own artists reflects very badly on us as a whole. We may differ in opinion but our language is downright hurtful and regressive. Read some ridiculous comments on @divamagazinepakistan and decided to conduct this session. Lastly, let me remind you that I’m pro foreign content and artists working here because I genuinely believe there should be an exchange of art. It’s the only thing that brings people closer. But is it truly at the cost of our local talent? 🤔 Tune into Instagram live on Thursday 9pm! #yasirhussain #art #dramas #hate #love #pakistan @yasir.hussain131
