Actress Responds to Backlash Over Food Distribution Video
Pakistani actress Resham has responded strongly to criticism after a video of her distributing langar went viral on social media.
The clip showed the actress asking people not to form multiple lines during food distribution.
Some viewers also criticized her and her niece for speaking loudly to people waiting for food.
The video triggered debate online, with some users accusing them of being harsh while managing the crowd.
Resham has now explained that many people judged the situation without understanding the full context.
Resham Says Crowd Control Was Difficult
In her response, Resham said managing large crowds during food distribution is not easy.
She said her team had to raise their voices because several people were breaking queues and creating disorder.
According to the actress, when some individuals take extra food, it affects hundreds of others waiting patiently.
She said her team prepares food daily for a large number of people and tries to distribute it fairly.
Resham added that if one person takes four or five extra rotis, other families may be left without their share.
She also said food distribution requires discipline so that mothers, sisters and families standing in line can receive food respectfully.
Charity Work Requires Effort, Says Resham
Resham rejected claims that her charity work is done for attention.
She said anyone who believes the effort is a drama should try doing it themselves.
The actress said langar distribution requires money, sincere intentions, energy and patience.
She added that her team works for hours in extreme heat and often returns exhausted and drenched in sweat.
Resham also revealed that she has been suffering from dehydration due to the demanding conditions.
She defended her niece and said the young girl was only trying to stop people from breaking the queue.
The actress said no one feeds people by personal power alone, adding that sustenance ultimately comes from Allah.
The viral video continues to receive mixed reactions, with some users supporting Resham and others questioning her tone during the distribution.
