Re: Nargis Fakhri's Cellphone Ad Has Pakistan Seeing Red
She should pose half naked a la ESPN The Magazine's Body issues and make nonsensical religious proclamations. Increase the hate from both sides.
Re: Nargis Fakhri's Cellphone Ad Has Pakistan Seeing Red
What exactly is the objection? - That she is a Bollywood actress? - That she is Muslim and working in Bollywood? - That she is Pakistani and abandoned Lollywood for Bollywood? (did she? I don't even know) - That she has no neck? - That he head is disproportionately large? - That her tashreef mubarak takes up 2 columns? - That she's wearing red?
Some or all or none of the above.
Re: Nargis Fakhri’s Cellphone Ad Has Pakistan Seeing Red
I haven’t read anything about this advert in the context of this being unislamic. However there is a lot of criticism for Jang and Mobilink. Some are of the view that Jang shouldn’t have published an ad which pretty much looks like a bad movie poster and others are disappointed that Mobilink couldn’t come up with a decent idea to market their brand.
Prior to this ad there was a detailed analysis published in Dawn against mobilinks’ tv ad and logo for Jazba. Apparently the logo concept is copied from a business called zagora in 2008 created by Brazilian designer, Fabio Sasso. This is the actual tutorial of creating that logo Creating a crazy cool logo | Abduzeedo Design Inspiration

The Bollywood actress spoke her heart out in an official statement, responding to the fury caused by the telecommunication company’s ad. ”I’ve been with Mobilink as their brand ambassador for the last three years and there has never been an issue like this. I was unaware that they would consider using this visual for a mainstream newspaper ad – an Urdu daily as it was never meant to be.”
Nargis disclosed that she was just as shocked by the ad and shared her side of the story. “As a model or celebrity, I have always believed in using my persona to help further a brand’s communication but never to have it used where I end up being objectified for my looks.
“Culturally too, my team and I are aware and respectful of what visuals work for which mediums, markets and audiences and hence, given the brand’s firm penetration in the Pakistani market, we left it up to their expertise to use the images appropriately,” read her statement, reports
