Usman Mukhtar sees you at that wedding not following SOPs and isn't afraid to call you out

"Care about yourself and if not yourself then the unsuspecting people around you who you’re going to give the virus to."

Weddings, weddings and more weddings. Winter season in Pakistan is officially the season to get hitched, and despite a global pandemic, there's no stopping people from coming together to celebrate.

Otherwise a joyous time, the shaadi season this year has been a major hub for contracting the deadly virus, with people falling sick in large numbers altogether — often forgetting to wear masks and follow appropriate SOPs in light of all the fun and festivities around.

Given the sensitivity of the situation, Sabaat actor Usman Mukhtar could not help himself but address it.

A photo posted by Instagram (@instagram) on

"Shadi!! Dance!! Food!!" the Bench director posted, grabbing people's attention on his Instagram post.

"Now that I have your attention. I see your stories in shadi places dancing chipak ke (closely) with each other. Stop it. Please follow SOPs!!" he pleaded, asking people to keep a safe distance from one another, and follow precautions even if they choose to attend weddings.

Reiterating the gravity of the situation, the Bench director reminded people how their carelessness was not just limited to themselves, but others as well, putting them in threatening and life-risking situations.

"Care about yourself and if not yourself, then the unsuspecting people around you who you’re going to give the virus to. This is life and death. Please be cautious."

Coronavirus cases in Pakistan have been on the rise ever since the second wave gripped the country, so people, pay heed to Mukhtar's words. We know we are.

This is funny. Why should people not attend weddings? And why should people of Pakistan follow any SOPs? After all there is no Chinese virus in Pakistan. Even if it was there then also "it is just a flu", ghabraana nahin hai.

As much as I appreciate what Usman Mukhtar is saying as weddings are the main cause of second wave in Pakistan; he also needs to address other celebrities who are brazenly flouting SOPs in their cheap vacations’ pictures and also disregarding SOPs in Live shows on various channels. Start from your fraternity first

Let other people do whatever they want to do. You do what you think right. This goes for every aspect of life.

@Saeeds not when your choices endanger the lives of others. We are in a pandemic. And Covid-19 is now mutating. Do you understand what Covid-19 and a pandemic is?
