A recent social media post by Pakistani entertainment industry figure Nadia Hussain has stirred a divide among internet users, as she shared contrasting opinions about Karachi, the country’s largest city and financial hub.
Expressing her dismay on Instagram, Nadia posted, “My city Karachi, a stinky bloody dump,” accompanied by two broken red heart emojis. In the caption, she posed the question to her followers, “Who agrees with me?” The response from fans varied, with some expressing agreement on Karachi’s current state.
“I cry every time I visit. No one is sincere with the city. No one listens to us when we raise our voices. Who is there for Karachi?” shared one user empathetically.
Another commented, “Unfortunately, it is the truth. My heart bleeds for its beauty to be revived.” One user attributed the responsibility to the citizens, stating, “Well, for that, I guess everyone who lives there is responsible. As a resident, everyone should take part in improving the state of your city.”
However, not everyone agreed with Nadia’s choice of words. A critic urged gratitude for independence and drew a comparison to global conflicts, while another suggested, “Maybe you should move to Islamabad.”
Amid the barrage of responses, one user advised against badmouthing the city, stating, “If you don’t like it then leave it but don’t badmouth the city. This is where you earn, and this is the city which feeds the whole country. Stop this negative mindset. We love Karachi.” The diverse opinions highlight the complex relationship individuals have with their cities and the varying perspectives on urban challenges.
