Pakistani celebrities are coming forward in a show of support for Prime Minister Imran Khan who dodged an ouster attempt after seeking new elections – a move that PDM leaders called ‘treasonous’ and vowed to start a legal tussle.
Several showbiz stars advocated for the cricketer-turned politician long before he rose to power in 2018 and are supporting Khan ever since opposition leaders moved a no-confidence motion against him for ‘mismanaging Pakistan’s economy and foreign policy’.
However, PM Khan, who is facing the toughest challenge of his political career, made a surprising move as he seeks early elections after dodging a vote of no confidence.
As legal experts and Khan’s critics called the dismissal of the no-trust motion an attempt to misinterpret and misrepresent the constitution, several celebs cheered Imran who played last roll of the dice amid a deepening political crisis.
Faysal Qureshi, Saba Qamar, Samina Peerzada, Shan Shahid, Shahroz Sabzwari, and Shahveer Jafry were among the stars who recently extended support to Khan.

You can’t beat a man who says,
“Na main kabhi kisi k samne jhuka hun, aur na kabhi apni qoum ko kissi k samnay jhukne dunga”
