Pakistani actress Iqra Aziz joke on Shehbaz Sharif caller tune recently made headlines on social media — not for a drama role, but for a funny comment about the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif. Her light-hearted remark targeted the pre-recorded caller tune that many mobile users in Pakistan hear before a call connects.
Iqra humorously said: “Increase electricity prices by 100 rupees, but please remove Shehbaz’s voice from the caller tune.”
This statement, though short, spread like wildfire across platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. People instantly connected with it, especially those who have been annoyed by the repeated government caller tune urging people to save electricity or promoting political messages.
What’s the Caller Tune All About?
For the past few months, when someone in Pakistan makes a phone call, they hear the Prime Minister’s voice with a message related to national awareness, such as saving electricity or supporting the government’s initiatives. While the intention may be good, many people find it repetitive and irritating.
Iqra Aziz’s joke gave voice to what a lot of people were thinking but hadn’t said publicly. And that’s probably why it went viral so quickly.
