Two-faced celebrities?
When @ImranKhanPTI became PM, all the actors , players were so quick to congratulate him, even go and meet him, today either they have changed their opinion about him which is fair enough, they have all the right or they’re scared to speak which is worrisome.#ZamanPark pic.twitter.com/mRIuE9WpjQ
