Biggest Controversies of Pakistani Celebrities 2020

The year 2020 has been full of controversies. Even with the lockdown and the current situation, the Pakistani celebrities did not slow down their activities much. During lockdown, they were also more active on social media than they ever were before. Pakistani celebrities also did not stop being part of talk shows. It won’t be wrong to say that social media is the biggest reason for giving hype to these controversies. A few years back when people were not too active on social media a lot of things were ignored. Now that majority of the people use social media and everything gets recorded, repeated on social media, most often the distasteful things said and done by the celebrities get viral. That is how they get reactions from everywhere.

The public can easily share their opinion on social media platforms nowadays. Not only this very often fellow celebrities just as actively share their views. That is how something said or done by a star turns into a big controversy. Right now, celebrities have to be really careful what they say and how they act. They are often tempted to talk about social issues and present scenarios but not all of them manage to do so responsibly.

There were many Pakistani celebrities who got into so many controversies. Most of them gave clarifications as well. Here is a list of those Pakistani celebrities who landed into controversies in 2020.
