Pakistani renowned singer Komal Rizvi clicked a selfie with ailing philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, the act has created outrage by Pakistanis on social networking sites. However, in a lengthy post on Facebook, Komal clear her stance on a recent controversy.
Many media outlets and Pakistani fans criticized Rizvi on her selfie with philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi calling it ‘worst’, to which she said, “I was like an excited teenager, I asked them if it's ok to take pictures with them and they very kindly agreed. In fact, the most SURPRISING thing happened... their grandchildren wanted to take pictures of me with the amazing couple too...! And asked if they can post it on Facebook. Nothing would have been a greater honor of course. So I said yes”.
“Edhi Sahab wanted to sit up for my pictures.. I quickly asked him to keep lying down... I didn’t want to inconvenience him even one tinsy bit...while his beautiful wife was making funny jokes and talking about Sean Penn and Anupam khers visit... I took tons of pics and selfies. I am reposting it again because I don't think anyone else in Pakistan has a greater selfie than this,” she added.
While, lashing out at people who are criticizing her for the selfie she said, “I am ALSO EXTREMELY disappointed with how nasty, negative, and lazy and hypocritical some people in Pakistan are. To take such an innocent and beautiful thing and turn it into something ugly. I will be permanently blocking each and every person who has negatively or nastily commented on my beautiful and memorable selfie today by 5pm. So if you have any regrets for making a hasty and ill-informed ugly comment you have time to retract and delete it”.
