A video featuring a Pakistani actress referring to cricketers from her country as ‘tharki’ has stirred a flurry of reactions on social media platforms, igniting widespread controversy and debate.

Mixed reactions of fans on the comment made by the actress

The incident unfolded during a television show linked to the ongoing season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The actress made an appearance on the show to share her insights and experiences regarding cricket, accompanied by former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal.

During the course of the show, the host presented the actress with a sentence to complete, prompting her to fill in the blank. The sentence was: “Jyadatar cricketers___ hote hain (Most of the cricketers are ___).”

Initially hesitant, the actress was encouraged by Kamran to express whatever came to her mind. Subsequently, she made a derogatory remark on live TV, labelling Pakistani cricketers as ‘Tharki.’ The term ‘tharki’ is a colloquial Urdu term used to describe someone as lecherous or displaying sexually inappropriate behaviour.

The actress’s remarks have reignited discussions surrounding the conduct of public figures and the need for responsible communication in the public sphere.
