The actor said in his video message on the video-sharing application Instagram that his electricity bill for 701 units was Rs45,368.
He said he has survived four heart attacks and served the country faithfully all his life.
“Billions of rupees have been collected, but no work has been done for us in the past many years. Now where will I get the money from to pay the Rs45,000 electricity bill?” he expressed his anger.
He said while crying, "Holy Lord, I was born in the wrong country. We lived our lives fearing Allah. Is this our fault? Oh Lord, lift me up [from this world]. I don’t want to live. I could have gone abroad and done a lot of work but I didn't."
He added, “My heart is aching. I am sick. I am praying to die. What have I done wrong by serving this country all my life?”
Rashid Mehmood further said that the ruling elite has made the nation suffer, adding there is nothing for the people in the country.
“All these parties are the same. They are all doing it for themselves, and no one is doing anything for the people. Millions of people will be complaining about the inflated electricity bills.”
