These days, Pakistan’s most celebrated philanthropist and renowned personality Abdul Sattar Edhi is sick. People from all walks of life and some notable celebrities as well have visited the man to inquire after his health. Komal Rizvi did the same, and clicked a selfie. The move enraged fans who were unable to fathom Rizvi’s insensitivity at a time when Edhi was sick.
“The controversial Selfie with Edhi”I walked into his office with his grandchildren and his face lit up with a smile….

This really was not the best idea. Edhi saab is not interested. #Edhi #komalrizvi pic.twitter.com/54wxoRUK6d — faiza (@fyzaiqbal) July 5, 2015
If celebs are visiting #Edhi sahab for selfies only, there’s no need. #disgusted

Not all moments are for selfies. Not all selfies are for social media. #KomalRizvi #Edhi #WTHmoment pic.twitter.com/gpV0C107JZ — Humeira Kazmi (@humeirakazmi) July 5, 2015
Poor Komal. Though no one should doubt her intentions and good nature, the singer chose a really bad time to click a selfie with Abdul Sattar Edhi. Let’s hope the trolls spare her for the time being and stop making such a fuss about the whole thing!
