Pakistani actor Rashid Mehmood is distraught after receiving an electricity bill of Rs45,000. He said it makes him feel like he was born in the wrong country.
A video of Mehmood showing his electricity bill to viewers went viral on social media. He explained that he used 701 units of electricity and got a huge bill.
Mehmood, who has had four heart attacks, wondered why he survived, asking, “Was I kept alive just to endure this?” He said it’s hard for him to pay such a big bill since he hasn’t found work as an actor in Lahore since a long time.
He blamed politicians and officials for living in luxury while ordinary people struggled with high inflation and huge electricity bills.
Mehmood said if he had been dishonest, he could have been rich, but he chose to work honestly, believing Allah would judge him after he died.
The actor is very sad about the situation in Pakistan and feels he was born in the wrong country, despite dedicating his life to serving it. He is disheartened to get such high bills in return.
In his distress, Mehmood shared his pain and worry, saying he doesn’t want to live anymore and hopes his family will have a better life after him.
Despite his difficulties, he remains committed to Pakistan but prays for Allah’s mercy, thinking life could have been easier if he lived abroad.
