Pakistans renowned actors Shaan Shahid and Hamza Ali Abbasi have found the perfect solution to tackle the severe financial crisis in the South Asian country.

“Appeal to all my fellow Pakistanis .. #buybackpakRs no matter how little or how big one can afford but let’s put in our share,” he wrote.

#buybackpakRs but how? I don’t have any dollars, or euros or any other currency worth showing off. When I went to the money changer and asked how many rupees for Pak rupees, he had his guard escort me out. He was most polite though.
