There was a time when the fans and followers of celebrities, in general, had to rely on print media portals to find out what was happening in the lives of their favorite idols. However, over the years and especially due to social media, the bridge has been narrowed and more and more celebrities are getting comfortable with the idea of taking their fans along their personal life journeys. It allows the celebrities to connect with their fans, get feedback from them as well as maintain a healthier relationship. A connection between a celebrity and their fans and followers is a two-way street, this is the reason social media has now become a necessity.
Pakistani celebrities keep sharing perfect pictures with their fans, where some are beautifully photographed and some as casually clicked to cover the happenings and important events in their lives. Although this year was not quite ideal for almost everyone all around the world, the credit definitely goes to Pakistani celebrities for playing their part well in engaging with their fans and showing them a brighter side of the picture. We have come across a lot more beautiful pictures of Pakistani celebrities this year, let’s take a look at the top 30 that gave us a reason to smile.
Here are the top 30 celebrities photos from 2020, (the list is in no particular order):

Pakistani cricket star Shahid Afridi has earned immense love and respect from his fans all over the world.
