Social media influencer and actress Dananeer Mobeen has claimed that she is facing a lot of hardship for her pro-Palestine stance.
The “Pawri Ho Rahi Hai” girl recently took to her Instagram Story to candidly discuss the consequences of her unwavering support for Palestine.
Dananeer revealed that her forthright stance had led to the loss of various opportunities, but she asserted having “zero regrets” about speaking up for the Palestinian cause.
The Sinf-e-Aahan star has been actively raising awareness about the escalating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank under Israeli occupation. In a particularly emotional Story, she shared a picture of herself in tears, expressing her anguish over the scenes of violence and loss unfolding in Palestine.
The claim comes in a global context where artists in the West, including influential figures like Susan Sarandon and Bella Hadid, face repercussions for their solidarity with Palestine. Surprisingly, creatives in the Pakistani showbiz industry have not reported similar censorship, likely due to the country’s longstanding pro-Palestine stance.
Dananeer’s statement has triggered speculation about the nature of the lost opportunities – whether they were on a local or international scale. Netizens, however, express skepticism about her claims, pointing out that all Pakistani brands and companies generally support the pro-Palestine cause.
Some online commentators have drawn parallels between Dananeer and international celebrities like Bella and Gigi Hadid, suggesting that her statements might be perceived as seeking attention by aligning with their activism.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Palestine remains dire, with over 14,500 lives lost in Gaza since October 7, marking it as the worst Israeli siege on Palestine in history. Currently, a truce deal between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Qatar, is in progress.
