Lahore – Vasay Chaudhry, the renowned host of a popular comedy show on a private TV channel, has publicly expressed his regret for the “vile and absurd” remarks made by a guest on his recent episode, which targeted overseas Pakistanis.
During the show, model Sara Neelum made derogatory comments about expatriate Pakistanis, ridiculing them for their choice of wearing cotton suits and suggesting that they might be involved in menial tasks such as cleaning washrooms abroad.
The offensive remarks sparked immediate backlash on social media, with users criticizing Chaudhry for allowing such offensive statements to be made on his show.
Taking full responsibility for the incident, Chaudhry offered a sincere apology on behalf of his entire team for the offensive comments that were made. He acknowledged that the remarks were in poor taste and assured the audience that a formal apology would be aired during the next episode of the show.
Chaudhry also took to his Twitter account to personally address all Pakistanis living abroad, expressing his love and remorse for the incident.
While Chaudhry’s apology received appreciation from many social media users, there were also calls for model Sara Neelum to issue her own apology for her inappropriate comments.
