Karachi, Pakistan – As Cyclone Biparjoy, a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm, inches closer to the coastal regions of Sindh and India’s Gujarat coast, renowned Pakistani actress Ushna Shah left social media users puzzled with a sarcastic message for her husband, Hamza Amin. In a now-deleted tweet, she expressed a tongue-in-cheek hope that he would find happiness with someone new if she didn’t survive her flight to Karachi, amidst the cyclone warning.
Sarcasm Raises Concerns:
Ushna Shah, known for her witty remarks and blunt sense of humor, tweeted just before her flight departure, “My flight to Karachi is taking off, and there is a Cyclone warning there. I just want my husband to know that God forbid if the plane crashes & I don’t make it, I hope he finds happiness with someone new one day… and I hope he knows she will never be as awesome as me. He will have settled.” The tweet quickly caught the attention of social media users, who expressed concern and confusion over her remarks.
Clarification: It’s Just a Joke
Realizing the potential seriousness of her tweet, Ushna Shah promptly added a disclaimer, emphasizing that it was intended as a joke. She clarified, “It’s really sad that I have to give this disclaimer but I do: this is a joke.” While some followers appreciated her attempt at humor, others deemed it insensitive, considering the ongoing cyclone warning and the potential risks associated with it.
Wedded Bliss and Cyclone Threat:
Ushna Shah and Pakistani-Austrian golfer Hamza Amin tied the knot in a private ceremony held in late February. The event was attended by close family members, friends, and renowned personalities from the showbiz fraternity. The couple’s union had garnered considerable attention and well-wishes from fans and industry colleagues alike.
Cyclone Biparjoy’s Impending Landfall:
Meanwhile, authorities are closely monitoring the path of Cyclone Biparjoy as it approaches the coastal areas of Sindh and Gujarat. The cyclone, which has weakened from its earlier status, is expected to make landfall tomorrow morning, raising concerns about potential damage and risks to human lives. The Federal Minister for Climate Change, Sherry Rehman, has urged authorities to prioritize evacuations in the affected coastal regions, including Thatta, Badin, Sajawal, and Tharparkar.

Addressing the looming threat, Minister Sherry Rehman stated, “While the cyclone has started turning away from Karachi, we must remain vigilant in the face of impending danger.

As the region braces for the arrival of Cyclone Biparjoy, the combination of Ushna Shah’s sarcastic tweet and the impending cyclonic threat has stirred discussions on social media platforms. While her intention was to inject humor into the situation, the sensitivity surrounding natural disasters necessitates a cautious approach when making light of such events. With authorities actively working to safeguard vulnerable areas, the focus remains on the safety and security of the affected communities during this critical time.
