    She’s still beautiful’: Waseem Abbas defends Mahira Khan

     
     
    Veteran actor Waseem Abbas has spoken up against recent controversial remarks by fellow actor Firdous Jamal over co-stars Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan. Abbas was invited as a guest on ZAH Entertainment’s YouTube show. He sent out a straightforward message that age should not be considered when judging the capabilities of an actor.
     
    Host Zaheer Ahmed asked him, “An artist sarcastically remarked about Mahira Khan, saying that even a bad mother is still considered a mother, and similarly, he criticized Humayun Saeed, implying that even though everyone engages in criticism, it should be done within limits. What does Sir have to say about this?”
     
     
    Waseem Abbas replied, “What can I say about this, I think we have no right to talk about someone’s age. I don’t care about anyone’s age, Mahira Khan is still beautiful. She was last seen on screen in ‘Maula Jatt’ and we should accept that she looks very beautiful in the film.”
     
    “As seniors, we should be very careful while sharing our opinion about our co-stars. Any actor’s performance can be criticized, but it is not appropriate to discuss his age,” Abbas added.
     
    Waseem pointed out that Jamal criticized Humayun Saeed in the same way, saying, “He is not Marlon Brando.”

    Waseem highlighted the older Bollywood stars as proof that age doesn’t matter, saying, “Just look at Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are still considered heroes and are still going strong. People love them, and their films are doing extremely well at the box office. When they are raking in box-office profits, what else could you want.”

    Firdous Jamal stands by controversial remarks on Mahira Khan’s looks

     
    With his recent remarks on Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed, veteran actor Firdous Jamal has sparked controversy once more. Despite the backlash he received in the past, Jamal stands firm on his statements, particularly his criticism of Mahira Khan’s looks and acting skills.

      
    Recently, Firdous Jamal appeared as a guest on Dais Book where the host, Junaid Saleem, asked, “Why don’t you like people quickly? You once said Mahira Khan was only fit for mother roles, but then she stunne

    d everyone with her performance in Maula Jatt. Did you ever feel afterwards that maybe you shouldn’t have said that?”
     
    Jamal replied, “I still stand by what I said then. I don’t feel any shame in saying it. Her age is evident, and for example, if you find her beautiful, how is that my fault.”
     
    Firdous Jamal asked the host, “Tell me, do you find the Mona Lisa painting attractive?” 
    Saleem replied, “I don’t really get it.”

    Jamal then said, “Mahira never looked good to me either.”
     
    The actor then continued in this vein, “The way I see it, for example, if you look at Elizabeth Taylor, Nargis Dutt, or Madhubala, what should I do with the person you’re talking about in comparison?”

    Jamal went on to say he didn’t care for Mahira’s looks,

     
    Co-host Soniya Sial asked, “But 90 percent of people find her beautiful, and they also think she’s a good performer. What do you say to that?”
     
    Firdous, “If 90 percent of people are crazy, should I become one too? I have my own way of thinking and my own perspective.”
     
     
    The conversation then shifted to Humayun Saeed, where the host asked, “Humayun Saeed, who is currently considered Pakistan’s most expensive actor and is seen as a pinnacle of acting in the country, often receives immense admiration from his fans. Given his stature, do you think his acting deserves higher recognition, or should we perhaps give him a bit more credit for his performances?”
     
    Firdous Jamal said, “Where does Humayun Saeed stand among the great actors? Is he in the league of legends like Marlon Brando or Stephen Boyd, I don’t think so.”

    The host Junaid Saleem said, “Sir, he (Humayun Saeed) charges a lot of money.”
     
    “Come on, even a prostitute charges money, so what’s the big deal if Humayun Saeed charges a lot,” Jamal replied.

    Adnan Siddiqui talks about Humayun Saeed’s funny comment on his roles 

    The dynamic duo of Pakistani television, Humayun Saeed and Adnan Siddiqui, consistently captivate audiences with their on-screen chemistry.  

    Recently the two A-listers appeared as guests on ‘Fuchsia Magazine’, where both discussed professional insecurities. 
    “Adnan used to quietly take the good roles,” Humayun said.

    Adnan responded by explaining, “If there are three production houses, I pick the role I want from the one that isn’t Humayun’s. At Humayun’s production house, they choose the role for me. Despite this, we never felt insecure or jealous professionally. There was never any bitterness in our relationship. We never thought like that.”  

    While talking about Meray Paas Tum Ho,
    Saeed said, “I create dramas for the people, with characters that reflect Pakistani society. Mere Paas Tum Ho showcased middle-class life and achieved unprecedented ratings in the Pakistani drama industry. MPTH had an unmatched impact and became extremely famous. Mehwish’s character wasn’t presented negatively; any lady in her circumstances has the right to move on. In my opinion, I would have acted similarly. Danish was not he right partner since, as a character, he did not satisfy his wife’s desires. I became sympathetic to Danish by the end.”  

    Humayun and Adnan have worked together in dramas like Ishq Junoon, Deewangi, Mehndi, and Mere Paas Tum Ho.  Currently, there are starring in Gentleman, which airs on Green Entertainment’s every Sunday at 8:00 p.m.

You know that the actor you want will also excel in that specific role.
