Why doesn’t Maryam Nawaz drink lassi?

Despite being told that how can one be Lahori and not drink lassi, PML-N’s Maryam Nawaz says that she doesn’t drink the heavy yoghurt drink. She was asked whether she was ‘having lassi’ by someone who tweeted a picture of her holding a silver glass.

To which she responded and said, “I wish I could have it everyday but I have to watch my weight so coffee only”.

After her tweet, another follower commented that being Lahori and not having lassi is a crime.

to which she responded and said, “Isn’t it?”

This is not the first time Maryam has expressed her love for chilled drinks. She tweeted in 2013 that she loved the “tang of diet coke”, and in 2019 Imran Khan’s ex wife Reham Khan criticised her former husband for not letting Maryam Nawaz have diet coke when Maryam was in jail.
