Muneeb Butt did not hold back while replying to a social media user who wrote a scathing comment on one of his posts on social media.
“Sastay marasi. Tum jaisi elite class ko is se ghanta farq ni parna,” a social media user commented on Muneeb’s post. “Nach gana or talaqon walay dramay or filmon ke ilawa tum log krte hi kya ho?” [This will have no effect on people like you who belong to the elite class. What work do you have except dancing, singing and creating dramas & movies based on divorce?]
“Ask a middle-class boy about his struggle who has lost his mother or a father or both the parents. Think before you speak,” added the user.

In response to the user’s comment, Butt hit back and wrote: “Mehngey begairat! Naach ganey aur talaqon waley dramey dekhtey kyun ho [?] Dr ne kaha hai dekhna zaruri h phr bura b bolna jakey PTV p dekhlo urea se fassal ki tayyari aur ganney ki kaasht! (Why do you watch such dramas with divorce stories and dance in them? Has any doctor prescribed you to watch them and then criticise them? You should watch PTV’s (ads) on crop preparation(with the help of) urea and sugarcane cultivation).”
The actor added that everyone struggles to achieve their goals and those who run away from the struggle often go to other people’s walls to depict their bizarre mindset.
Meanwhile, Butt has announced that he has started working on his next drama in which he will be sharing the screen with Madiha Imam for the first time. The drama tentatively titled Mujhay Vida Kar has been written by Samra Bukhari and directed by Anjum Shehzad. Other cast members include Saboor Aly, Haris Waheed, Raza Talish, Shabbir Jan, Saba Hameed, Maira Khan and Paras.

“This was me trying to get myself together after shedding two tears over three mean comments,” said Hania while sharing a picture of herself.
“Words are powerful. They can create and destroy. Why use them to knock people down when you can use them to lift each other up,” she questioned.
“Being mean is easy and weak and projection of your own fears and insecurities. Use your words wisely,” she added.
Earlier in an interview, Mawra Hocane had also talked about being attacked and criticised on social media.
“I am getting used to it now, but six years ago it was very difficult,” said the actor. “Like, if I am giving an interview right now, it is possible that I may say something wrong. But I realised five years ago that anything wrong that comes out of your mouth is no longer wrong when it reaches social media, it becomes a sin.”
“You can’t even think about making a mistake, because you have been placed on a pedestal where you can’t say anything wrong. So the first time this hit me I was like, I want to stop using it. I want to stop acting and I just want to leave. And I actually went to Sydney and told my parents ‘I don’t want to do this anymore,’” she shared.
“I told my parents people here want to kill me because I said something wrong. And even today I don’t want to defend myself, I am scared of it. I say ‘you know what? I am wrong! But are you really going to take my life for it?’” she questioned.
Mawra further shared that the fear has never left her which is why she prefers to play it safe in her interviews and has started opting for giving standard responses.

Muggers looted over Rs 84.8 million from a Hong Kong social media influencer after she flaunted her wealth online.
According to details, 25-year-old So Mei-yan, who has 86,000 followers on Instagram, became famous for showing off her luxury lifestyle. Sharing details of the incident, Mei-yan said that three men burst into her home in Hong Kong with knives while she and her son were sleeping. They tied her, her six-month-old baby boy and his 45-year-old nanny up and then robbed her blind.
Following the incident, she appealed to thousands of her followers for help and to bring the robbers to justice, offering £194,000 as an incentive.
In a statement, police said: “As the doorbell rang, the maid opened the door and three men rushed into the unit.”
As per reports, Mei-yan was sleeping in the master bedroom of her flat while her baby was in the sitting room with the helper at the time of the incident.
The police spokesman then said that two of the robbers were either carrying a ‘fruit knife or a wooden rod.’
The robbers then tied her and the child’s helper up with the tape and pushed them into the babies room, where one stood guard and the other two searched the flat.
But the robbers became increasingly frustrated when they couldn’t find any cash and returned to Mei-yan, punching her in the face and repeating their demands.
Mei-yan went on to explain, “One of them returned and pulled my hair asking where I put my money.”
It is thought that the robbers could have gained all the information about her wealth via her social media account where she is famous for flaunting her goods.
Eventually the displeased thieves settled for her luxury items which she says were worth hundreds of thousands.
After the thieves had left, she managed to wriggle out of her restraints and call the police.
Senator and senior PPP leader Sherry Rehman has disapproved of the new laws against rapists approved by the cabinet, earlier this week. The new laws call for strict punishment, including chemical castration of the rapist.
Replying to The Current’s post, which includes the tally of rape cases being reported every day (acquired from various sources), Sherry expressed her displeasure over lowering the statutory age for rape to 13 from 16.
“The age of alleged ‘consent’ has been moved to 13 from 16 in the new ordinance, which is terrible,” commented the lawmaker. “How will an adolescent be responsible for ‘consent’. This makes younger children even more vulnerable.”
She also expressed her concern over the matter on Twitter.
A total of 127 rape cases have been reported from October 12 to November 27 (today).
