It did not go well when Anoushey Ashraf referred to Shah Rukh Khan as a “global superstar” and added that even if Pakistan did not support Bollywood, she would still be a huge fan of Khan. She received a lot of harsh comments.
She was charged with pulling this prank on Khan for attention. Because she expressed affection for that movie on social media, she was frequently harassed there. She finally had enough and responded to all of the criticism levelled at her.
She responded to a comment on her Instagram post saying, “Man, I share things on my wall, as my opinions but the people in the comments section here are remarkable…they can’t even take an opinion. Like just ‘in my eyes’ an opinion is lost because they’re busy thinking I want to get noticed by him (Shah Rukh). Haha I mean, there are many ways to get noticed. Many many many… than a mere opinion on my own story.”
She further added, “Stars have universal love, respect and appeal and so we speak about them. But Pakistanis in general have this hate deep seated in them. Even for their own. They just cannot be nice in general. Everything makes them want to put another down. God knows what satisfaction they get from that but to an outsider it speaks volumes of a hardened, deprived and negative mindset. Good luck hating losers!”
