Syra Shahroz has been the face of Pakistani lawn brand ‘Crosstich’ for quite some time now. The brand’s advertisements have been very thought-provoking in the past, in particular, their rebuttal to the television show ‘Homeland’s’ poster…
‘Cross Stitch’ roped in Pakistani actress Syra Shahroz for its latest campaign, that is the answer to Homeland’s season four poster
While this campaign was applauded, Syra’s latest venture with the company hasn’t sat well with many people
The actress uploaded a sneak peek of her next campaign with the brand onto her Instagram account, titled ‘Chapter North.’ The picture is a close up of Syra sporting some fake freckles on her cheeks, oddly spaced out and obviously very fake. People quickly noticed the makeup faux-pas and condemned the picture for promoting a misconstrued beauty associated with Northern Pakistanis.
Here’s the picture…
Needless to say, people are P I S S E D, with many calling out the fake freckles
A few felt offended by the reference to ‘North Pakistan,’ insinuating a stereotype beauty associated with Northern Pakistanis
What do you think about the picture? Here’s the original post
