Bushra Ansari Lashes Out At Pakistanis For Treating Coronavirus ‘As A Joke’
Veteran actor Bushra Ansari has lashed out at Pakistanis for treating the fatal coronavirus as a ‘joke’. The actor said that she can’t return to Pakistan because people here aren’t taking the pandemic seriously.

Bushra Ansari, in a video message to her fans, said: "I can't help but miss Pakistan. And I can't return because you all are roaming the bazaars [markets]. You all are not understanding. You're treating this as fake or a joke, and because of this behaviour, it has spread so much and we are stuck here wondering when and how to return.
