Faisal Qureshi Faces Social Media Backlash for Dancing with Hareem Farooq at University Event
LAHORE: Renowned Pakistani actors Faisal Qureshi and Hareem Farooq have come under criticism on social media after a video of them dancing at a university event during the promotional campaign for their upcoming Punjabi film Mango Jatt went viral.
The performance has sparked debate among social media users, with some questioning the actors’ dancing style and others raising concerns about holding such promotional activities at an educational institution.
Faisal Qureshi and Hareem Farooq are currently busy promoting their upcoming film Mango Jatt, which is scheduled to hit cinemas on October 16. As part of the promotional campaign, the two actors recently visited a university, where they performed a dance to a Punjabi song in front of students.
After a video of the event surfaced online, some users began making sarcastic remarks about Faisal Qureshi’s age and his dance performance. One social media user suggested that the actor should adopt a style more appropriate for his age, while others questioned the suitability of organising such entertainment activities at an educational institution to promote a film.
However, the dance performance was part of the film’s promotional campaign, aimed at engaging younger audiences and generating interest in the upcoming release.
The incident has triggered mixed reactions on social media, with users expressing differing opinions about celebrities’ promotional activities and the organisation of entertainment programmes at educational institutions.
Neither the criticism nor the online debate has changed the fact that the event was organised as part of the film’s publicity campaign.
