Veteran Pakistani actress Resham has issued a strong response to recent criticism, claiming that her detractors are driven by jealousy over her charitable langar initiative. Her remarks come amid an escalating public dispute within Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
The controversy surfaced after fellow actress Deedar allegedly accused Resham of negatively affecting others’ lives—an allegation that quickly gained traction on social media and entertainment news platforms.
“Jealous of My Langar,” Resham Says
Without naming anyone directly, Resham addressed the criticism during a recent television appearance, dismissing the allegations as baseless and motivated by envy rather than facts.
“People are jealous of my langar,” the actress said, asserting that her charitable work has become a source of discomfort for some within the industry. She added that many critics simply cannot afford to run such initiatives themselves, which is why they resort to making negative remarks.
According to Resham, the scale and consistency of her free-meal distribution have drawn unnecessary attention and unwarranted criticism, overshadowing the humanitarian purpose behind the effort.
Questioning Critics’ Credibility
Taking a sharper tone, Resham also questioned the credibility and individual achievements of those criticizing her. She remarked that some people are recognized only because of their family connections rather than their own work, calling the situation “unfortunate”.
Her comments were widely interpreted as a broader critique of nepotism and personal attacks within the entertainment industry, rather than a response to a single individual.
“Negativity Reflects the Person”
Resham concluded by emphasizing the importance of positivity and integrity, stating that a good person always speaks well of others, while constant negativity reflects poorly on the individual expressing it.
She added that those who have achieved something meaningful—particularly through social welfare and humanitarian efforts—deserve recognition, not ridicule.
As clips of her remarks circulate online, the dispute has sparked renewed debate among fans and industry insiders about celebrity charity, public criticism, and personal rivalries in Pakistan’s showbiz world.
