Nauman Ejaz sounds alarm on GenZ smartphone obsession
Veteran actor Nauman Ejaz shared his candid views on the state of today’s younger generation, drawing attention to their extreme reliance on smartphones.
Taking to his Instagram handle, he posted a story stating,
"For the new generation, snatching away their mobile phone is equivalent to removing an oxygen mask from a patient in the ICU."
With this striking medical analogy, Ejaz highlighted how smartphones have become a lifeline for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, suggesting that many young people feel socially and emotionally incapacitated without their digital devices.
A few days ago, Nauman Ejaz bid farewell to his role as Farasat in the drama serial Shar Pasand. His portrayal of a manipulative and narcissistic character who appears superficially virtuous while spreading discord was widely praised. Farasat, described as a troublemaker or Sharpasand, skillfully poisons relationships and creates tension within the family and community, showcasing the actor’s versatility in bringing morally complex characters to life.
Shar Pasand focuses on the theme of narcissistic manipulation and the toxic effects it can have within households and society, cementing Ejaz’s reputation for choosing challenging roles with depth and nuance.
Outside of acting, Nauman Ejaz continues to be a vocal figure, recently making headlines for his reflections on Ramadan work ethics and staunch support of the national cricket team.
His influence extends through his son, Zaviyar Nauman Ejaz, who is currently starring in the drama Ghulam Bashah Sundri, which has recently released its latest episodes.
With a career spanning decades, Nauman Ejaz not only captivates audiences with his on-screen performances but also sparks meaningful conversations about society and the changing dynamics of modern life.
