Sahir Lodhi attracts public outrage for wrongly accusing girl of ‘insulting’ Quaid-e-Azam

KARACHI:
Sahir Lodhi sure knows how to stay in the news! Unfortunately, he always seems to take the wrong raasta - pun intended - for it.

The film star's most recent debacle is losing his temper at a young female debater who had been invited on to his talk show to speak about women's right. And naturally, people are not happy.

Raasta review: It’s Sahir Lodhi against your sanity

Here's what happened: The girl, who had just started speaking was shut down by Lodhi when she mentioned Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah in her speech. That's when the host butted in and began blasting her on air.

“Who gave you the permission to question the services of Jinnah? We would have not been living here so freely if he hadn’t helped us,” the 49-year-old actor said. He then went on to express how it angers him when people blame Jinnah or Allama Iqbal for Pakistan's current problems.

Of course, Lodhi's outburst sparked a frenzy on social media, with people calling him out for this 'ridiculous' tactic to gain ratings.

Hear, hear!

This, though.

At the end of the day we have all but a few questions for Mr. Lodhi: Who gave you that right? Are you God? Are you some sort of a demi-god?
