Pakistani celebrities are more easily ‘accessible’ for the general public than ever due to the widespread use of social media. Like every other modern invention, social media has its pros and cons as well. The power of social media has been recognized by different platforms and it is getting stronger. It is also an easy way for celebrities to promote their projects and they often use it for sponsoring products. Since the public has easy access to every activity these celebrities are a part of and people can easily comment on them, sometimes the criticism can go overboard and get extreme. None of the celebrities want this kind of criticism. They obviously share their pictures with their fans because they want their support. Pakistani actresses get more criticism than anyone else since they portray a completely different image on television. There are also times when certain celebrities are highly criticized for doing something which is against their principles and what they stand for. Moral policing by the general public has become a norm but that does not stop celebrities from posting what they want to. There are also instances where you feel that some celebrities actually use such negative attention for gaining sympathy and winning more fans.
Many celebrities have often talked about the impact such criticism has on them. They have often also shown how this criticism will not stop them from doing what they want to do. Whether Pakistani celebrities should be following certain moral standards or not is an ongoing debate. Most of these celebrities have proven that they do not feel the need to please the critics who they call’ keyboard commandos’. Others are continuously trying to maintain a balance.
Here are some of the most criticized pictures of Pakistani celebrities from the past few months:

Some people were also of the opinion that even at this point in her career, Saba Qamar resorted to such cheap tactics to get attention.
