'They are our friends': Shaniera Akram asks followers not to hate on chipkalis

Chipkali (lizard) season is upon us. Every now and then we see a lizard scutter across the wall giving us mini heart attacks.

Over the weekend, two celebrities Sarwat Gillani and Armeena Khan shared experiences of their run-in with these animals, prompting Shaniera Akram to urge everyone not to hate on these ‘innocent lizards’.

Guys, Geckos 🦎 are innocent lizards. They watch over us, eat our dengue mosquitoes and make malaria their dinner. Don’t hate them, they are our friends. Trust me, I’m from Australia, when there is a creature you have to worry about I will tell you

I don’t get it, Pakistanis have lived through terrorism, wide spread disease, horrific natural disasters, political unrest, famine and poverty. Yet you see one little Gecko and completely lose your shit! https://t.co/ze67BT20wB

OH for the LOVE of GOD! She didn’t meant it like that!!!!! I was having a go at the tamashbeens in her mentions. I love Shaneira and have admired her for her Karachi beach work. 😑😑 I’m going to delete my lizard tweet. https://t.co/zRuBRMvPOz

On the other hand, Twitter also had a lot to say about Shaniera’s tweet.

#TeamChhipkali has its newest spokesperson. Welcome onboard @iamShaniera! The house lizard is a gentle good pest that eats mosquitoes and other vectors of illness. Also goes after flying roaches. A marvellous ally to humans. https://t.co/28uOpbTnta
