Virtually every major player of the Pakistani entertainment industry seems to be voicing their opinion on the ongoing Lux Style Awards (LSAs) controversy. And it doesn't seem like the chaos is going to end anytime soon.
One of the most recent to do so is actor-director Angeline Malik. "Jami Moor sir, let's protest," she began in a Facebook post in response to the film-maker's decision to throw his LSA trophy out.
"I travelled to Kasur last week and met Sidra Batool. Does anyone know who she is? We all have forgotten... the only survivor of the many cases of rape and murder in Kasur. She is a vegetable... screams every time anyone enters the room. That trauma she will live forever."
Jami vows to 'stand by women' after ditching his LSA award
Malik added, "I met all the parents of all the brutally raped, sodomised and murdered children, as well as Zainab's father Muhammad Amin Ansari. That's a reality... everything else is very trivial. You want to be vocal? Call me. Let's be vocal and let's actually do something which will make a difference, rather than just putting up a status."
While her message may seem confusing to some, Malik's point is that there are bigger issues out there and various ways to make a difference and protest against harassment.
Jami took to the comments section in a bid to defend his stance. "I was in Kasur, went there during the riot. Went from Karachi to Kasur over night during the Zainab case," he added. "We don't just put statuses. Our own battles are deeper than you might know but will try to join your battles too."
