The recent controversy surrounding actress Hira Soomro’s emotional outburst on live television during a special ‘Ramazan Pakistan’ transmission on PTV Home has been clarified by the network.
Initially, a video of Soomro confronting host Muhammad Shoaib for being late went viral, sparking public debate and criticism on social media. However, PTV Home issued a statement explaining that the entire scenario was scripted and intended as an entertaining performance to showcase Soomro’s acting skills in a spontaneous situation.
“It’s surprising how quickly negativity spreads, while the truth often goes unnoticed. Why do people believe and share things without investigating?” it said and reminded viewers that many things were scripted in the entertainment world.
“In showbiz, many things appear real but are actually scripted to tell a compelling story.” The PTV Home urged people to be “more mindful” of what they consume and share.
