Nargis Fakhri made headlines across Pakistan for giving heart attacks to the fragile hearts of momineen across Pakistan. She was featured in a front page advertisement in the Sunday newspapers where she lay across the bottom of the front page, holding a mobile phone.
Unfortunately, many Sunday morning nashta routines were disturbed when the eyes of Pakistanis met the curves of Nargis, causing a lot of upright action and major protests to be launched across the social media of the country.
Here’s what Pakistanis think about Nargis Fakhri’s appearance on their Sunday papers
Terrorism: Blood. OK. Don't know. I don't care. No words!
Nargis Fakhri: Every one loses their mind merely by a picture of her.

Imagining so much about Nargis Fakhri and on the outset cursing her #menwithweakbones

I think the fuss is all about Nargis Fakhri's curves coming in the way of the news. If it would have been a separate ad it'd be no problem.

But some people called out the protesters on their hypocricy

This person decided it was time for someone to get serious about this “hot” topic
Country is going through a serious crisis and we are fighting over an ad which just shows a picture of Nargis Fakhri.

This guy was happy that Ms. Fakhri was, at least, helping promote a reading culture among Pakistanis

But this poor guy from Quetta felt left out of the conversation
like most other conversations.

But this guy spoke the truth about the fate of the newspapers featuring Nargis Fakhri
The awkward moment when samosas and pakoras will be served on Nargis Fakhri's butt.

And this guy just shut the conversation down

All one needs to realize for the sake of your sanity is not to sweat out this stuff. Pakistanis, especially the protesting momineen, will soon find the next woman to hate on or protest about. Mawra’s new movie is coming out and she may have donned a dupatta rather questionably or looked at the hero with a little bit more passion than she looked at Pakistani drama stars, so who knows! If nothing else, there is always zoophilia that Pakistanis love to Google the most in the world.
And to Nargis Fakhri? This is what Pakistanis actually think about her
Dear Nargis Fakhri
Keep it up 👍
Regards
