Pakistan’s Independence Day brought out the patriotic side of the country’s biggest showbiz names, with celebrities turning social media into a sea of green and white on August 14.
Pakistani stars marked the occasion in their own personal ways. Instagram was filled with festive outfits, national flags, nostalgic posts and heartfelt prayers for the country.
Among those celebrating was Aiman Khan, who joined the festivities with a rendition of the much-loved national song “Dil Dil Pakistan.” Her musical tribute quickly added to the celebratory mood surrounding the day.
Zahalay Sarhadi also chose music to express her love for the country. The actress sang “Sohni Dharti,” one of Pakistan’s most recognizable patriotic anthems, giving her Independence Day tribute a distinctly nostalgic feel.
For Sarwat Gilani, the celebrations came with a different kind of significance. The actress and host shared moments from an international gathering she attended and hosted, where she celebrated not only Pakistan’s Independence Day but also the 10th anniversary of New World Concepts’ Breakfast Café.
The initiative brought together accomplished women from different professional fields, creating a gathering centered around conversation, achievement and connection. Sarwat also acknowledged several notable guests who were part of the event, including Barrister Shahida Jamil, Pakistan Stock Exchange CEO Farrukh Sabzwari, the Consul General of Germany in Karachi and the Consul of Italy in Karachi.
Describing the occasion as a celebration of “patriotism, purpose and sisterhood,” Sarwat ended her message with a spirited “Pakistan Zindabad!”
