Singer Komal Rizvi has been in the forefront of charitable causes this Ramazan. But has her recent 'selfie' act gone too far?
Komal recently visited Abdul Sattar Edhi who is extremely unwell. Edhi sb's ill-health however didn't deter Komal from clicking a selfie with the philanthropist as he lay on the bed while she cheerfully looked in the camera. She then posted the photo on her Facebook page.
"There is only one man in Pakistan, only one, that has dedicated his AND his entire families life to selfless service and charitable causes for this thankless Nation and continues to do so despite his dialysis with another great man Dr.Adeeb Rizvi at the age of 90!" her Facebook post stated.
"I cannot thank Almighty enough for giving me this unforgettable moment and opportunity to meet the most important man in Pakistan.
"The man and his beautiful wife, whose enormous and endless wealth and prosperity cannot be measured by mere dollars," Komal wrote on Facebook.
Komal responded to the criticism on Facebook saying:
"The controversial Selfie with Edhi"

I walked into his office with his grandchildren and his face lit up with a... http://t.co/72T3xiDGx6
We're not entirely sure his face 'lit up'...
While her trip to visit Edhi sb might have been an eventful one, people didn't share the same zest and enthusiasm as the singer.

You have to draw the line somewhere. Komal's selfie with #Edhi is embarrassing to say the least! #komalrizvi

Apparently #KomalRizvi decided it was more important to take a selfie with Edhi saab than to pray for his health. pic.twitter.com/mV2BkUGxWw
