Resham is one of Pakistan's biggest stars, having acted in film and TV since the 90s. She's beautiful, talented, and a bit of a litter bug - if you want to judge her solely on one tiny video posted to her 600,000 followers on social media when there are so many bigger problems in the world! Resham will let you know that she is a force for good in the world and if you come for Resham, you better bring the receipts. People did bring the receipts, and Resham apologized.
So what happened? Resham works with numerous charities. The floods in Pakistan deeply moved her and she wanted to help those in need. She was on a mission for good, delivering food to flood victims, when she took a moment to film herself throwing bread and meat into the water to feed wildlife also impacted by the floods. It was meant to be a gesture of compassion for the little animals who live in the woods and waters, a gesture to remind people that even the smallest act of kindness can bring social media value. After throwing bologna to the fish, Resham threw some food wrappers and trash into the waters. Many people took her to task for littering, and she reminded them all that there are bigger things in the world than littering, plus she had brain fog, plus her brother had died so she was not in her right mind.
Her act of selfless giving was meant to inspire people, instead it just reminded everyone how we drove the earth into climate change - reckless disregard for the environment. Throwing garbage into flood waters that are the direct result of climate change was more than symbolic - it was a bad PR move. Resham apologized a second time, and this time, she made sure everyone understood how sorry she truly was.
