    The Punjab Nahi Jaungi star has been roped in to play Dr Hasnat Khan, Princess Diana’s love interest in Season five of the hit Netflix series The Crown.

    The Yeh Dil Mera diva opened up on rejecting a Hollywood film in a recent interview, stating that she turned it down due to a particular intimate scene in the film. The Mom star termed it as a very bold scene and even the idea of using a body double didn’t convince her.

    “If an actor is lucky, he or she gets offered more international work but, regardless, I would never turn my back on my own industry. All the international work that has come my way has been because those filmmakers had seen my work in Pakistan. And when I go abroad, I do so as a Pakistani. I want to keep contributing and giving back to my industry with the work that I do.”

    Actor Humayun Saeed has been roped in to play Dr Hasnat Khan, Princess Diana’s love interest in Season five of the hit Netflix series The Crown.

    Journalist Hasan Zaidi confirmed the news last night after speculations had risen that actor Fawad Khan would be seen as Dr Khan in the Netflix drama.

    “Was holding back the information until Netflix officially came on the record but, since speculation was rife, it’s only a matter of time”, Zaidi tweeted.

    Senior actor and director Sakina Samo took to her twitter handle to condemn the choice of casting by the Netflix makers.

    She suggested the name of Humsafar star Fawad Khan in place of Humayun.

    On the contrary former host and actor Noor Bukhari disagreed with the Dobara diva. She stated that the Meray Paas Tum Ho star is the best choice for the film.

    Now actor Ahmad Ali Butt has shared his opinion on Sakina’s remarks.

    Host and actor Anoushey Ashraf also agreed to Ahmad’s point and cheered Humayun for bagging the part.

    Due to Covid’19 pandemic the shooting schedules got disturbed of the team. Humayun being the producer tried to convince all the actors to allot new dates to wrap up the show, he also wanted to extend the successful drama, however according to Naveed, the Ehd-e-Wafa star refused to cooperate and even lashed out at him saying, “You will give me work? I am not short of offers.”

    She also refused for an extension of the show.

    The Punjab Nahi Jaunga star was left embarrassed.

    Naveed said that, “Talking to your senior actor like this is called rudeness, which is completely wrong.”

    He concluded by saying that no matter how successful you are, you cannot talk to a senior like that.

    Earlier in June 2021, celebrity couple Yasir Nawaz and Nida Yasir appeared on Ahsan Khan’s show Time out with Ahsan Khan. During the interview, Nida revealed that Yasir had regrets about working with Alizeh Shah in the drama serial Mera Dil Mera Dushman.

    Naveed stated, ‘Yasir is a veteran actor and director, who gave her the right to misbehave with him?”

    He added, “She demanded to cut his lines and scenes with her.”

    ‘When the two used to be in the make-up room, and Yasir would dry his hair, she asked the assistant to shift Yasir’s seat somewhere far and cited that the heated air of the dryer is bothering her.”

    She should be grateful that a star like Yasir worked with her.

    In July, the Ishq Tamasha star has shared her stance on the matter by saying that, “Everyone connects to a person differently, just like our families, we don’t get along with everyone.”

    She added, “We can’t always get along and one should expect the same behaviour same as they behave themselves, if you will misbehave with me, I will not stay quiet. I will respond back.”
