Pakistani actress and social media personality Maryam Nafees sparked strong reactions with an emotional post about former Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s eye health. In her Instagram story or post, she wrote: “Heeran hoon, ek match pe itna jazbati hone wali qaum us shakhs ko bhula baithi hai jisne Pakistan ko Worldcup dilwaya, us shakhs ki nazar ko nazar andaaz kar baithi hai jisne inko cancer hospitals diye.”
Maryam expressed deep surprise and sadness that people are not more concerned about Imran Khan’s reported vision problems. Recent reports indicate Khan has only about 15% vision left in his right eye due to a blood clot or related complications during his time in custody. His sister Aleema Khan also spoke emotionally about his condition, saying, “a sister can only cry.”
The actress highlighted Imran Khan’s legacy: leading Pakistan to the 1992 Cricket World Cup victory as captain, and later founding Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital (and others) through charity efforts, major contributions to sports pride and healthcare in the country.
Her words touched on a common sentiment among supporters: that the public gets passionate over cricket matches but overlooks bigger sacrifices by figures like Imran Khan. The post quickly circulated on Facebook pages like Tag It and others, with fans praising her for speaking up and critics debating politics vs. health concerns.
Maryam Nafees, known for her roles in dramas and outspoken views on social issues, used this moment to remind people of gratitude and humanity. Whether agreeing or not, her caption stirred reflection on loyalty, memory, and priorities in Pakistan’s passionate society.
As Imran Khan’s health remains a topic of concern, such voices keep the conversation alive amid ongoing debates.
