Actor and model Imran Abbas has voiced his frustration with the public’s preoccupation with celebrity gossip, urging a shift towards addressing pressing societal challenges. In a candid Facebook post, which was later deleted, Abbas criticized the tendency to scrutinize celebrities’ personal lives, fashion choices, and relationships, labeling it a distraction from more significant issues.
He highlighted the irony of a nation facing severe challenges yet remaining silent on critical matters while engaging in trivial discussions. Abbas emphasized the need for collective awareness and action, warning that neglecting substantial issues in favor of gossip could lead to further societal decline.
In a subsequent, more measured post, Abbas reiterated his concerns about misplaced priorities and the importance of focusing on meaningful issues. He called for the public to redirect their energy towards advocating for change and addressing the country’s real challenges.
Abbas’s remarks come amid controversies surrounding Ramazan transmissions, where certain hosts and celebrities have been criticized for insensitive comments, further fueling debates on the media’s role in societal discourse.
