Celebrities Slam PTV Sports For Body-Shaming The Young Pakistani Cricketer

Celebrities came out in support of the young Quetta Gladiators player Azam Khan, after the state-owned channel PTV Sports For Body-Shaming made an offensive humour on the cricketer.

Former Pakistani cricketer Moin Khan\’s son recently won T20 International against England. Many praised the player\’s performance, while others mocked his appearance. PTV Sports, for example, labeled their post on Azam Khan, \”Khata hai lekin lagata nahin.\” While many people celebrated the team\’s victory on social media, a surprising number of people also made jokes about Khan and body-shamed him.
