"I would like to apologise to the nation."
Pakistani pop star Ali Zafar recently faced significant public backlash regarding his unconventional fashion choices during Eid celebrations.
The singer became the target of viral memes after sharing photos of his festive attire on social media.
He initially posted a short video of himself watering his garden plants while wearing a traditional red Ajrak dhoti.
This particular video for the first day of Eid quickly sparked a massive wave of trolling across several digital platforms.
Many users found his choice of the traditional dhoti quite humorous and strange.
However, the controversy intensified when he shared another photo standing with his wife in a very sheer white kurta.
Fans specifically pointed out the lack of an undershirt underneath his translucent and festive outfit.
Critics questioned whether the see-through look was a deliberate stunt to grab attention during the busy holiday season.
People left thousands of comments asking the singer why he decided to skip wearing a basic undershirt for the photo.
The singer decided to address the situation with sharp wit. He took to X to issue a formal yet highly sarcastic apology to his fans.
The star mockingly treated the fashion critique as if it were a major crisis affecting the entire global population.
He wrote: “I would like to apologise to the nation for wearing a see-through kurta without a banyan, and for the very serious act of watering plants in a traditional Ajrak dhoti on Eid.
“I understand this has been one of the most pressing national and global issues affecting everyone’s lives lately.
“I will do my best never to repeat this grave mistake again.”
“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
The public reaction to his witty statement was overwhelmingly positive, as many people appreciated his very rare sense of humour.
His followers continued the joke by stating they would only accept his apology if he showed proof of a banyaan.
Zafar responded to these playful demands by sharing a new picture of himself working out in the local gym.
In this new photo, the singer was finally seen wearing the requested undershirt while he focused on his fitness.
This humorous interaction helped turn a potentially negative situation into a moment of lighthearted comedic relief for his audience.
Ali Zafar later shared another funny video on his official account to further roast the entire fashion debate among the fans.
