Famous stylist photographer and talent hunter Khawar Riaz strongly criticized the dressing choices of actresses at award shows.
In a recent podcast he said that following Western style at award shows means losing our own identity.
Khawar Riaz said that our actresses wear Western gowns at award shows. He questioned whether they do not like Pakistani culture or feel proud of it.
He advised actresses to wear national dresses and follow Eastern style to keep their cultural identity strong.
He also said that many actresses try to speak English even though their audience does not speak English.
Khawar Riaz explained that when someone tries to speak English and makes mistakes people laugh at them. This shows an inferiority complex. We should be proud of our own language culture and identity.
He added that Pakistani artists should return to their roots and highlight their national identity instead of copying the West.
Khawar Riaz said that forgetting your roots and identity is the biggest mistake. If we do not respect our culture the world will not respect it either.
Khawar Riaz has introduced many famous names in Pakistan’s fashion and entertainment industry and is known for his bold opinions and direct way of speaking.
