- Sami Khan was asked a series of purportedly “funny” questions.
- Sheikh Qasim, a comedian, implied that Khan’s movies weren’t successful.
- Khan countered “No, sir; movies are never a guarantee.”
Sami Khan, an actor, was asked a series of purportedly “funny” questions on a talk show hosted by Fahad Mustafa that questioned the success of his profession. Sheikh Qasim, a comedian, implied that Khan’s movies weren’t successful by saying “Despite the fact that you are extremely attractive and have no flaws, your films never seem to succeed. Why?”. Khan countered “No, sir; movies are never a guarantee. Wrong No. 2 and Salakhen both became hits. It’s a matter of trial and error.”
But Wrong No. 2 wasn’t a bigger hit than Wrong No. 1, Qasim retorted. Khan defended himself by stating that the movie was a success. Mustafa concurred with Khan and informed Qasim that “It was a success! Do you now have a plausible query?” Qasim persevered and enquired, “Well, let’s see. After making a successful film, Khalilur Rehman Qamar placed you in his subsequent movie, Kaaf Kanga. That fell flat. What are your thoughts about that?”
Khan handled the awkward and humiliating situation with grace, avoiding and laughing aside the accusations made against him.
Soon after a clip from the programme went viral on social media, other stars stepped forward to support Khan against the offensive questioning. The incident generated a crucial discussion on the importance of professionalism and decency in the entertainment business.
Aisha Omar came forward and shared her opinions on the ongoing controversy.:
Aisha Uqbah Malik, a former actress, added that the queries were “not funny at all.”
Armeena Khan also expressed shock over the current event and claimed that the questions were unkind and not funny. She emphasised Sami Khan’s talent as an actor and his stature in the entertainment world, calling him one of her favourite co-stars. She noticed that despite the insults directed at him, he maintained his composure and professionalism.
In addition to supporting Sami Khan, other celebrities including Muneedb Butt and Sadia Khan denounced Sheikh Qasim’s actions. Others said that Sheikh Qasim should repent for his actions because Sami is a fantastic artist and an excellent actor and that no one has the right to treat him disrespectfully.
Numerous others on social media also expressed their disapproval of the interview and criticized the comedian for his disrespectful behaviour towards Sami Khan.
