New Year’s Eve was celebrated with greater zeal this year as the last day of 2021 fell on a weekend
The much-anticipated Friday night saw some early celebrations kicking off as celebrities took to social media to replay, reminisce and ready themselves for the upcoming year
Filled with new year's resolutions, photo dumps, and wishes for fans, our feeds were a wholesome affair
A common thing amongst all reflections was the element of hope
While the celebs, like all of us, hoped for a better future, they were also quick to point out that our celebration doesn’t have to come at the cost of someone else’s suffering
The aerial firing of bullets might give you an adrenaline rush for a moment but the consequences can be both tragic and criminal, they asserted
Former cricketer Wasim Akram shared a video message on Twitter and requested parents to “buy fireworks” as he did for his daughter instead of “letting them use guns to show off while aerial firing
” He further said that we need to “evolve as a nation if we want better for our country
” With this precautionary message, Akram wished everyone a happy and safe new year from him and his family of three
Hope everyone had a safe New Year’s Eve last night
Please listen to my message carefully, if we want betterment for our country then we need to all work together to make a change! #StopAirFiring #GunSafety #HappyNewYear2022 @sindhpolicedmc8 pic

Reminding people that there are “other ways to celebrate”, he wrote, “DO NOT fire on this night or even otherwise to celebrate! There is no need,” along with a happy new year hashtag

Taking to Instagram, she wrote, “On the eve of this new year, I’m sharing something that was lost and found God knows how many years later, a few days back
” Spiralling between some important questions, she asked some out loud
“Was it a sign? A reminder of what we once were? Untainted by this world, unaware of what our future would hold for us? What made us happy 20 years ago? Who were our heroes? What made us sad? What made us laugh so hard?” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahira Khan (@mahirahkhan) Going decades back in time, she cheered to the inner child present in everyone
“Here’s to some good old nostalgia, here’s to remembering that we were all just happy about being around friends and dancing around like fools
Here’s to who we have become because of that
Here’s to the children in us
Here’s to never quite growing up
Here’s to looking back sometimes and looking ahead always,” retorted Mahira
She signed off the post hoping love, joy, peace and good health to be a staple in the upcoming year for everyone
Actor Urwa Hocane also took to the micro-blogging site to reflect on the ups and downs of the past year and advocate for inner peace
" 2021 in retrospect was full of calm and tranquillity for me
