Content creator and actor Dananeer Mobeen took to Instagram Story<\/a> to relay how her forthright support for Palestine cost her various opportunities but feels no regret about speaking up for the cause. She penned, \u201cThe amount of work I\u2019ve lost because of standing with Falasteen and I have zero regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n

While artists in the West continue to get the axe for solidarity with Palestine including influential celebs like Susan Sarandon and Bella Hadid, creatives in Pakistani showbiz have not reported similar censorship, given the country\u2019s longstanding pro-Palestine stance. Dananeer\u2019s revelation has prompted speculation as to whether she lost local or international prospects.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old shot to fame as \u201cPawri girl\u201d after her five-second video went viral on social media across the subcontinent, spawning numerous renditions of her monologue where she deliberately mispronounces the English word \u201cparty\u201d as “pawri” to poke fun at South Asians who adopt Western accents.<\/p>\n

The internet personality has been using her official Instagram account to raise awareness for intensifying humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and West Bank under Israel\u2019s occupation. In another Story, Dananeer shared a picture of herself crying, remarking on the scenes of violence and loss coming from Palestine.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day I wake up and think it\u2019ll get easier. But how does looking at torn-apart bodies of children become easier?\u201d Dananeer expressed her sorrow. \u201cFathers holding their dead children in their arms? How does it get easier?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Muhabbat Gumshuda Meri<\/em> actor furthered on, imploring people to continue vocalising their support for Palestine. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t. And it shouldn\u2019t. And this feeling should be our sole motivation to keep talking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

With over 14,500 people killed in Gaza since October 7, the\u00a0truce deal between Israel and Hamas is underway.\u00a0Mediated by Qatar, a total of 50 hostages are to be exchanged for 150 Palestinian prisoners, some of them convicted on weapon charges and violent offences, over four days.<\/p>\n

In the first exchange on Friday, 13 Israeli women and children – out of around 240 hostages captured by Hamas fighters on a killing spree in southern Israel on Oct. 7 – were released. Twenty-four jailed Palestinian women and 15 teenagers were released from Israeli jails.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s setback came just hours after Egypt, which controls the Rafah border crossing into southern Gaza through which vital aid supplies have resumed, said it had received “positive signals” from all parties over a possible extension of that deal. Israel has said the ceasefire could be extended if Hamas continues to release hostages at a rate of at least 10 per day. A Palestinian source has said up to 100 hostages could go free.<\/p>\n
