During a recent episode of Express TV’s Piyara Ramadan, host Javeria Saud addressed a caller’s critique of former Pakistan cricket captain Sarfaraz Ahmed’s English-speaking abilities. The caller from Karachi noted Ahmed’s apparent discomfort during English interviews. In response, Ahmed acknowledged that speaking in a non-native language can be challenging, especially under public scrutiny.
Javeria Saud intervened, emphasizing the importance of embracing one’s native language. She highlighted that in many countries, locals prefer their mother tongue over English and that Pakistanis should take pride in Urdu. She urged the audience to support national figures like Ahmed, focusing on their achievements rather than linguistic skills.
