The nation has experienced a wide range of emotions in response to the chaos caused by the former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan’s “illegal” and “unlawful” imprisonment and later release. Pakistanis are happy now that the politician-turned-cricketer is returned, and the entertainment industry didn’t stay behind.
The bulk of artists are delighted over Khan’s release and sharing their happiness on social media. Many celebrities, including Syra Yusuf, Imran Abbas, and Asad Siddiqui, have pledged their steadfast support and expressed satisfaction over the PTI Chairman’s release.
In an Instagram post, Atiqa Odho expressed her appreciation for Khan’s release and said she was “Praying that Allah protects #ImranKhan and helps him succeed in his efforts for #Pakistan.” Adding that “no one deserves to be treated the way he’s being treated for just trying to break shackles of misery for our nation,” Odho remarked that nobody is perfect and Khan may have “many faults but his heart has always been in the right place” for which people “must support him through his ordeals.”
“Others talk while he walks the talk,” the actress emhasized, concluding that the mistreatment “for being sincere is an injustice we [the people] must never accept as citizens of this great country.”

The actress Syra Yusuf posted a message in the Instagram story section, saying, “And I believe, along with other things Allah gave me this opportunity to specifically pray for him, his safety and for my beloved country and it’s people. May we stand together, rise together and break the chains out of fascism.”
The actor Asad Siddiqui used an Islamic reference to express his thoughts on the current state of affairs in the nation.
