How will we ever recover from this?: Ushna, Farhan on Pakistan’s deteriorating economy

The actors pointed out how it’s hard to be patriotic in such testing times but one shouldn’t lose hope

Last week, Pakistan faced a nationwide power breakout. Several parts of the country face a gas shortage daily, and now with the rupee losing its value further against the dollar, users are struggling to feel patriotic. Celebs, too, weighed in on the deteriorating conditions of the country and whether we, as a nation, have lost all hopes for betterment.

“How will we ever recover from this? Since I’ve been alive, I’ve never seen the Rupee strengthen against Dollar drastically,” Farhan Saeed wrote on Twitter on Saturday while reacting to the Pakistani rupee standing at an all-time low against the dollar.

How will we ever recover from this ? Since I know I’ve never seen Rupee strengthening against Dollar drastically. But still we are either this party or that party , but not Pakistan. No one’s serious about where we are, have we lost hope?#PakistanEconomy

Concerned about how non-serious people are taking the economic distress we’re in, he added, “But still we are either this party or that party, but not Pakistan. No one’s serious about where we are, have we lost hope?”

Shah, too, shared her two cents on the subject. Claiming that she loves Pakistan and its people, she added how it gets harder to feel love when you can’t live a hassle-free life due to the unavailability of basic resources.

I love my country, I love my identity, I love my fellow Pakistanis. But when there is no electricity and gas at the same time, shortage on petrol and UPS crashing due to overuse: literally no way to power the house when I need coffee.. well.. tarana gana thora mushkil hei.

(it’s hard to sing the national anthem then)” she wrote.

Actor Aijaz Aslam questioned how productive political press conferences are if all that happens is leaders blaming each other while the civilians struggle to live.

"What's the point of these press conferences? Leaders just blame each other and nothing else. No one ever discusses the strategies to bring stability to the country. The currency devaluation is unstoppable and basic commodities are unaffordable for a common man, Reham karo (Bless us)" read his tweet.
