Actors Sarwat Gilani and Zhalay Sarhadi have called upon the citizens of Karachi to help the victims of the Gul Plaza fire tragedy in any and all ways possible; the fire that swept away hundreds of shops and numerous lives.

“Gul Plaza was not just a building. It is decades of hard work, inherited livelihoods, small dreams turned into family legacies,” Gilani wrote in her caption. The actress requested her viewers to leave the blame game for later and opt for a solution-focused move as a self-reliant Karachi citizen and help business owners to rebuild their lives.

“It was a deeply sorrowful tragedy; people have faced monetary and life losses. Blaming someone, pinpointing someone, these are all conversations for later. Right now, the people, business owners who are facing the losses, need your and my help,” she said in the social media post.

Sarhadi, also gave the same message to her fans through a social media post on Instagram. Labelled “Let’s rebuild”, her post included a small list of businesses with their contact numbers that could be used to give donations to shopkeepers who made the shopping center which has been a part of our “lives and heritage”.

“Let’s do our bit and help get these small businesses get their footing back by supporting their online stores,” she wrote in the caption. Several other celebrities, including Hira Mani, Momal Sheikh, and Aina Asif, have been sharing resources to help the victims of the sorrowful incident.
