The 36-year-old former singer Rabi Pirzada has been showing off her painting skills to her millions of Instagram followers, but her most recent post caused quite a stir when she showed how Maryam Nawaz’s painting — a Pakistani politician — made by her had failed to sell, whereas any sketches of PTI leader Imran Khan were immediately purchased.
According to social media users who commented on Pirzada’s post, Nawaz is unpopular in the political context, whereas Khan is much more popular and well-liked.
Apart from the comically ironic incident, the Pyar Ki FIR actress complained “mughey in paison se ghareeb gharaano ki maddad kerni hai, ager koi interested hai to contact karein [I need the money to assist poor households, if someone is interested please contact me]”
For the unversed, Pirzada runs a foundation, Rabi Pirzada Foundation, that helps deserving people.
Rabi Pirzada claimed in an Instagram post that No one is buying Maryam Nawaz’s painting.
