It’s not new for Anoushey Ashraf to stay in the news for something wrong she did or said. Recently, tweeps ripped out the veteran RJ for her “blinded privilege,” educating her. Anoushey Ashraf, a Pakistani radio and video DJ, was trying to make the journey in Karachi, a city where cars take up more space than people—normal when she climbed in a rickshaw. The well-known presenter, as she noted in her tweet, was recently offered a lift out of sympathy after someone witnessed her boarding a rickshaw.


Above is the video for you to watch. Have a look. “Got offered a sympathy ride when someone saw me getting into a rickshaw 2day. I thought it’d be an adventure, was close to home, relatively safe (you can jump out) and cheap,” she wrote, taking to her Twitter.

The 39-year-old famous broadcaster described herself as “well off,” writing: “But seeing a ‘well off’ person in a rick can really worry ppl here! Normalise public transport for all.” 

Anoushey, joyfully, posted about her infrequent “affordable experience” on her social media account, but the netizens weren’t in the mood to put up with her “privileged”, “tone-deaf” idea of a rickshaw ride, especially given the country’s continued elevated inflation, which is currently at a record high. As expected the public did not have a happy reaction. Some sarcastically mocked her and others were a bit more mean. Here are some reactions.
