This year we saw a devastating and heart-wrenching earthquake in Turkey and Syria. There were cities that were razed to the ground and thousands have lost their lives. We Pakistanis are familiar with how painful it can be as we have seen a similar tragedy in Pakistan in 2005 when half of our Kashmir was destroyed. A similar situation could have happened yesterday as a big earthquake ranging from 7.7 to 6.8 intensity hit different areas of Pakistan. there has been extensive damage to buildings in different areas where up to 9 people have lost their lives with around 100 injured.
People all over the country were praying that the earthquake just passes by without extensive damage and many celebrities were also sharing prayers and in the midst of this Khaqan Shahnawaz posted a video where he was mocking the earthquake. He is an actor and a social media influencer currently seen in Yunhi.
This is what he shared:
