Upon your visit to the country, you&#8217;re constantly bullied for not knowing the French language. Wouldn&#8217;t it frustrate you? Why then is it okay for Pakistanis to ridicule those who are not well-versed in a language that is not native to them? Cannoli&#8217;s Manager was recently in the limelight when a video from the restaurant went viral. Two women, the owners of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cannoli_cafesoul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Cannoli<\/a>, Islamabad were seen bullying Awais on camera. As a result, countless netizens expressed their anger and disappointment. But one person showed kindness amidst the havoc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-296529\" src=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cannoli-Cafe-Soul.jpg\" alt=\"Cannoli's manager\" width=\"1000\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cannoli-Cafe-Soul.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cannoli-Cafe-Soul-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cannoli-Cafe-Soul-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cannoli-Cafe-Soul-364x205.jpg 364w, https:\/\/propakistani.pk\/lens\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cannoli-Cafe-Soul-758x424.jpg 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What Happened?<\/h3>\n<p>Uzma Chaudhry and Dia Haider, the owners of Cannoli, recorded and posted a video on their restaurant&#8217;s social media account. While the video started off good, things took a dark turn as it progressed.<\/p>\n<p>The two women revealed how Cannoli&#8217;s manager, Awais, spent more than a year learning the English language. At the beginning of the video, viewers thought to themselves; isn&#8217;t that great? Two women helping a man succeed by giving him language lessons?<\/p>\n<p>However, soon after that, they began making fun of the restaurant&#8217;s manager for his poor English. While the video was removed by the restaurant, many had already picked it up.
