Adnan Siddiqui, Hira Mani and Humayun Saeed are in the U.S. for a string of Meray Paas Tum Ho meet and greets.

Okay, cool, not the best time to be travelling but hey, they flew out before things got really out of hand and as long as they're being careful, we should be fine.

They seem to be wearing masks, using sanitiser, hopefully washing their hands.

Except it looks like Mani hasn't fully grasped the gravity of the situation yet.

Appearing on her Instagram story, she shared, "There's a strict curfew here, big brands are closed, streets are empty. I went to a mall here, First Colony and there, all the Pakistani people, salesgirls were present and all white people were on leave; they turned out to be quite cowardly, we're really cool."

While many of us use humour to cope with dark times, we don't think now is the time to make light of preventative measures or shame people for being cautious; we're literally in the middle of a pandemic.

When most Hollywood celebrities are endorsing the World Health Organisation guidelines, our celebs are out here trolling those who are following them and misleading fans.

In case it isn't crystal clear, please stay home and don't be a super spreader! If you don't want to listen to us, listen to Mahira Khan?

Sometimes these attempts at being cool can backfire.

this idea that's it"s "cool" to be stupid and put everyone around you at risk shows what sort of a person this actress is. i hope her fan base, if she has one, has a re-think.

Ignorance is a bliss, here we are trying to contain a deadly virus yet you are more concerned about Americans being afraid, really ignorant state of mind.

I live in Houston and we are all practicing social distance and how irresponsible of her to make callous remarks and mock those who are practicing social distance - Very racist and uneducated on her part - social media needs some serious vetting measures!

In the malls only daily wage, people are working - they are forced to go because of personal financial issues. It is amusing that some people see bravery in it? It is shameful that illiterates can just make any comment because they are celebrities.

Self-isolation or social distance is NOT being coward, it's been wise and respectful about your health and health of others. Ignorance is not a bliss in this case it is stupidity.

This is utter lack of awareness and the needless pride that we like to feel in saying that the rest of the world is stupid while being totally ignorant, what’s unfortunate is that here we have influential people misleading the masses and this is how they use their influence, by making irresponsible and ignorant statements... she should go to a hospital in Italy and see why the world is scared...

Dear Hari: Please go back to Pakistan and follow your PM’ advice “derna nahi hai”. Self quarantine is the only option to avoid infection. Not surprised by your irresponsible post. As a public figure you should be encouraging people to be responsible for their and others safety. Alas!

She is marvelous and great actor. I wish them all stay safe and healthy. They should not have gone to USA considering the severity of COVID 19. I would advise all of them to go back to Pakistan as soon as possible.

Hira Mani is a typical over privileged girl who has everything handed to her on a golden platter and her typical concerns are that brown girls working are superior shows that the education system is in a downward trend in Pakistan.

Honestly, I have never liked her. She comes across smug, ignorant and just not likable. People are dying (look up casualties in Italy) and she thinks this is all just exaggeration? So irresponsible.

The hand gesture in second pic is actually considered to be quite rude. That is not the way to do the victory sign.

@Dr.Sadaf it goes to show it would be better to keep up pretences by not speaking in public when you're a celebrity. They often tend to come across not very informed or not clued in about real life. At least not our celebrities like Mani etc
