In light of the recent controversy surrounding Nargis Fakhri’s ad featured in Pakistani Urdu newspapers, Ufone saw an opportunity, spoofed the ad and took the cake.
Although it lacks the ups and downs seen in the original ad, this one sure does tickle the funny bone. It cleverly states in fine print, ‘you won’t need to read this newspaper discreetly’.

We’re bowled over by this brilliant marketing gimmick and so are Pakistanis as they took to Twitter to applaud Ufone and Faisal Qureshi.
However, Quetta wasn’t too keen on the idea:
Earlier, Nargis disclosed that she was shocked by her ad and shared her side of the story. “As a model or celebrity, I have always believed in using my persona to help further a brand’s communication but never to have it used where I end up being objectified for my looks,” said the actress.
