Pakistani Celebrities Adopting Indian Culture After Indian Fashion

Did you just notice what Fahad Mustafa has on his forehead? Or did you just miss it? It was “sindoor”! A red powder used by Indians at the time of their marriage to bind a knot between them and it is also applied to their guests in respect. Sindoor being purely a symbol of Indian culture was used on a Pakistani TV show by a Pakistani actor. What else can we go for?

 Fahad Mustafa is a well known Pakistani television actor, producer and model who have acted in many TV serials. He is the son of Sindhi character Salahuddin Tunio. His great work had established a huge name for him in Pakistani television industry. Apart from all the success stories, his sindoor act is what raised the most questions. People are curious about what was his real motive. Is this some new fashion? Or beginning of a new trend? Aren’t the Pakistanis already following the Indian trends? Is this what a Pakistani anchor should be doing?

Pakistani media and its people are already influenced by the Indian culture. The way dramas depict life is more common to what life in India is portrayed. Be it women’s dressing or any other household chore, everything is in sync with the Indian culture. For instance, the dance shows culture has struck Pakistan as well. Pakistani actors like Resham and Faisal Qureshi have been a part of it thereby forgetting their own culture and teaching the new generation what the other country has in store for them.

Moreover the singing competitions are being organized by different television channels in which the participants are from both the rival countries. Being friendly and looking forward to enhance relations is a different thing but not at the cost of one’s own culture and diversity. Fahad Mustafa has done something really absurd and far away from his own culture. The fans and other viewers take these TV persons as role models. What are they portraying by following the Indian culture? Do they really want to lose their identity?

Along with the actors, our news channels aren’t a step back. Everyone is a part of the rat race. Channels like Geo are promoting Indian culture at max in Pakistan. Showing vulgar Indian songs in their headlines with the whole family watching it becomes weird for the family members. You just cannot let your children watch such indecent stuff. An Indian promoting Indian culture is what we all understand but why is every Pakistani opting for the culture of India. It feels like the actors and channels have some hidden agenda.

However, it is not only Fahad Mustafa who is doing the wrong thing. There are loads of them who are following and setting the wrong trends. Even the citizens of Pakistan are affected by the Indian culture through their movies and daily soaps. For the betterment of this nation, everyone has to strive hard and get back to their own culture!
