Sheheryar Munawar, Adnan Siddiqui, and Ahsan Khan among other celebrities have slammed the owners of Cannoli Café Soul in Islamabad, Uzma, and Diya, for mocking and ridiculing their restaurant manager for his English speaking skills.
Sharing his thoughts on the incident, Adnan Siddiqui in a long note posted to Instagram said that he “wish[es] someone had taught them basic courtesy”.
“The joke’s on them because they just exposed their class, rather lack of it,” said the actor. “Do yourself a favour and find a cure for your colonial hangover.”
Similarly, Munawar condemned the behaviour of the owners, writing: “Seems like an exaggerated scene out of a 90’s movie, where the mean rich kids pick on the protagonist, making fun of his humble background.”
“Shame,” he added.
Expressing his outrage, Ahsan Khan said: “I find it very distasteful that even in today’s world we demean people who work for us just because they can’t speak English.”
“Such pretentious snobs,” added the actor.
Ahmed Ali Butt and Mushk Kaleem also expressed their distaste over the incident and criticised the disgraceful remarks by the two women.
Mushk also reminded her followers of the time when Iman Aly had passed a “condescending statement about the current models of our industry.”
Meanwhile, the owners later issued an apology, saying that they “are saddened and appalled by the reaction of the people, how they have misconstrued our banter with a team member”.
Social media users, however, are not buying their “fake apology” and have criticised them further for being tone deaf and arrogant.
