The Urdu “r” sound and its Americanisation

Hi, to start I’m a 22 year old Pakistani but I was born in the UK. My Urdu and Punjabi are conversational at best but I believe I have good pronunciation.

I sometimes hear native Pakistanis (particularly girls and somewhat feminine boys) speak Urdu online and they speak Urdu with the American “r”, think of words like “kar” or “zaroor”. Are they doing it on purpose? They also seem to include the high-rising terminals and vocal fry. The combination is funny to me, why are these people trying to sound like American valley-girls?
