Imran Khan has time for Turkish actors, not for Hazara community: Sharmeen Obaid
While Instagram users made various comments on this post, Oscar-winning Pakistani director Sharmeen Obaid Chanay did not lag behind anyone.

Expressing anger, the filmmaker asked, "Where have our own Pakistani actresses gone that we need a foreign actress?"
"If you continue to employ Turkish actors in your country in this way, our film industry will be wiped out," he said.
