When Wasim Badami asked, “What is living in Karachi like?” Sharmila Faruqui replied, “Living in Karachi is like living in Paris. I think your country is your identity; it’s your home, so it should be like heaven to you.” Watch the video here:
Social media users are quite angry over her statement. One user said, “Living in Karachi is like living in a grave.” Another commented, “They have turned their own houses into Paris, which is why it feels like Paris to them.” Someone else wrote, “Does Paris know that it looks like Karachi, or that Karachi looks like it?” Another added, “She is right—both places are famous for pickpockets.” One person remarked, “I don’t think she has even seen Paris yet,” while another wrote, “Next time, don’t let her board a flight to Paris because she already lives there.” Read here:
