Junaid Jamshed and Amy Winehouse (III)

Letter July 28, 2011
I don’t understand why Junaid Jamshed’s choice of lifestyle should be a subject of ridicule.

KARACHI: I don’t understand why Junaid Jamshed’s choice of lifestyle should be a subject of ridicule. I find people who criticise him for changing his ways extremely hypocritical. These are the same people who believe in the motto ‘live and let live’ but clearly they don’t apply it for people like Junaid Jamshed.

As for the criticism that he sells expensive clothes, well why not? Clothes designers and retailers have to make a living after all, and aren’t prices also a function of costs and demand for a particular item? If people are willing to buy his clothes why should anyone care, least of all complain about high prices?
