Actor and model Imran Abbas took to Facebook to express his frustration with what he sees as the nation's unhealthy obsession with celebrity gossip, and the widespread silence over pressing societal issues. In a candid post, which was later deleted, Abbas criticised the public's preoccupation with trivial matters, calling it a distraction from the real challenges facing the country.

The deleted post was a scathing critique of those who focus on criticising celebrities rather than addressing systemic injustices or advocating for change. Abbas began by lamenting, "Once the people of this country stop focusing on the lives of celebrities, proving them to be imperfect, crafting memes, giving interviews to bloggers to discuss their private past, present or their acting, and farshi shalwars - they'll understand what is happening with them, what has already happened and what will happen now."

Abbas pointed out the collective apathy of society, adding that while the country faces increasingly dire circumstances, people choose to remain silent or indulge in negativity in unrelated areas. He wrote, "Every day we get to hear a piece of news that makes the heart hurt, but we are all silent. When we don't have the courage to speak up when required, then all the perverseness and negativity will come out in other places. What else can be expected from apathetic onlookers, standing and watching the show (and even recording it on their phones)?"
