Pakistani comedian are forced to sell his house. It seems to us that this government is not our government at all. Poor people are dying of hunger everywhere. These are the words of Pakistan's famous comedian Naseem Vicky who is fed up with the government's tax policies.
Pakistani comedian actors protest
When theaters in Pakistan are closed due to which all the actors working there are fed up with unemployment. Because they made their living from theater. Besides they have no job. In such a situation stage artists from Lahore took to the streets and protested against the government. He said that they too should be given the right to live and the ban on theaters should be lifted.
A well known comedian Naseem Vicky said I worked hard all my life and built a house with my friend Muhammad Sarwar. Money is also needed to run and maintain this house properly. He also said apart from me there are a lot of people who have become unemployed and are very poor because their needs are not being met. They are depressed. There are some who are forced to commit suicide and there is famine in their homes. We have not seen any government in the past that has ruined the country in this way.
Nawaz Sharif's era
Before that we remember the era of Nawaz Sharif which was much better than that era. He himself had a function at home called us and humiliated us. He said that once in the past we went to Mian Sahib for a function. In this function he also told jokes to the audience. When it came to food they said to me Come with me Vicky. I'll make you a plate of food myself and show you what we've made for you guys. When the function was over we asked them all of us artists to take a picture with you. So he said no matter you can take pictures with me as much as you want. Although he was the Prime Minister of the country he was such a big personality but he had no pride. He was a simple man.
When they came to us to take pictures sometimes the onlookers would come back sometimes someone else and we would keep asking Mian Sahib to change his place. But they didn't mind and spent a lot of time with us.
The artist said that then our producer told us that what you are doing is such a big personality and you people are bothering him. To which Mian Sahib said that there is no such thing. I do not get bored with these things. On this occasion he said that the witnesses of this are my fellow artist Amanat Chand and producer Ali Raza. Because they were with me then. He said I would just like to say to the government that we do not need any sympathy from you and we are not asking for any help. We just join hands and apologize to you for letting us do our job and lifting the ban on theaters.
Let me make it clear that this viral video is from the time of corona. When the Corona virus was on the rise all over the world and at that time lockdown was in force all over the country. All organizations were then instructed to follow the Corona SOPs while maintaining social distance and wearing masks. But then the theater was not allowed to open which was protested by artists from Lahore. Naseem Vicky, Tahir Anjum and other big and small artists were involved in the peaceful protest. This is an old video but it is very viral nowadays due to rising unemployment in the country.
Naseem Vicky
Naseem Vicky has been doing comedy theater shows not only in Pakistan but also in India and UAE. He also acted in India's popular comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show.
During a program he said that I was the one who advised the people of India about this program and we all worked hard together in the beginning. At first no big actor was ready to come but gradually as soon as the show became popular its rumors started spreading all over the world. And nowadays it is the best comedy show where big heroes and producers come and promote their films.
