Pakistani actress Rabya Kulsoom has voiced her concerns regarding cricketers participating in brand campaigns, expressing her dissatisfaction through social media.
In an Instagram post, Kulsoom urged brands to stop featuring cricketers as ambassadors, stressing that they should be allowed to focus solely on their cricketing careers. She emphasized that the players should prioritize the sport, rather than diverting their attention to commercial endorsements.
In a sarcastic remark about Pakistan’s cricket team’s performance, Kulsoom humorously suggested that actors Fahad Mustafa and Faizan Sheikh should be appointed as captains, hinting that this might result in better outcomes for the team.
Her statement quickly garnered widespread attention, sparking a debate among fans and followers. While some supported her view that cricketers’ off-field engagements are distracting, others defended the players, asserting that participating in brand campaigns is a personal decision.
The actress’ remarks have ignited a broader discussion about the impact of commercial interests on sports. Kulsoom, who began her acting career in 2017, is known for her roles in Pakistani dramas and web shows.
Meanwhile, actress Sonya Hussain also shared her thoughts on Pakistan’s cricketing performance during a special broadcast for a private television channel.
When asked about her favorite cricketers, Hussain revealed that she had once been a fan of Babar Azam but had since changed her opinion. She described Pakistan’s performance in the tournament as “disappointing,” noting that many fans were heartbroken by the team’s lackluster results.
