A local university has been called out for inviting social media sensation Dananeer Mubeen as a panel guest at ZAB Media Festival to discuss ‘The Instant Revolution’.
Other social media celebrities like Ali Gul Pir, Amtul Baweja, Ali Akbar Chaudhry, Patangeer couple, and Fahad Tariq were also invited to speak at ‘The Instant Revolution- The Rise of Digital Stars’. However, the invitation to Dananeer Mubeen attracted criticism on social media. Several social media users believe the university should not have called out a social media celebrity who got “accidental fame” as a “motivational speaker”. University invited Dananeer did not go well with some social media users.
“Dananeer got invited by SZABIST as a motivational speaker? This represents the declining standards of not only our society but the educational institutions as well,” a user shared.
Another tweep asked, “What precedent are they setting? There are so many artists, writers, poets, and sportsmen that deserve recognition. And these people are calling bloggers for speeches? Nothing against danger. But this is teaching youth that becoming famous and rich by any means is inspirational.”

Another user made a witty remark: “The only motivation Dananeer can give you is about conforming to society’s beauty standards and having an accidental viral clip that is purely annoying.”
A Twitter user-supported Dananeer was invited for the panel discussion. “No hate for Dananeer genuinely but in a country where our artists, writers, and poets are committing suicide from a lack of recognition, we do genuinely need to have a conversation about who we choose to promote. I think the hate is extremely unnecessary though,” said a Twitter user.
Another wondered, “As much as I like to think about these things positively, I cannot think how Dananeer could develop and deliver a meaningful lecture or a speech. Questionable stuff.”

“What’s wrong with Dananeer being invited as a motivational speaker?” a user asked. Another commented, “I don’t think motivational speakers have to be qualified enough to be so-called. Her work speaks her efforts out I guess she can be one too – netizens should stop criticizing people based on their careers at least.”
