Actor Zahid Ahmed posted a behind the scenes image from the wrap up day of his short film with Mahira Khan. Soon digital portals circulated the picture, which gained backlash for the Raees diva as some netizens passed agiest remarks, looking her in a de-glam avatar.
Bulbulay star Ayesha Omar was quick to defend her colleague against the ageist trolls. Ayesha dropped multiple comments on the post.

Sheheryar Munawar is donning the director’s cap for his upcoming directorial debut. This venture is a short film for the streaming platform See Prime. The Parey Hut Love star has roped in Mahira Khan and Zahid Ahmed as his film’s lead pair. This is the first time that Humsafar’s Mahira and Daldal’s Zahid are teaming up together.
The lead pair was spotted yesterday at a wedding ceremony.
Sheheryar and Mahira have earlier collaborated as actors in 7 din Mohabbat In, Parey Hut Love and Ho Mann Jahan. The team is currently also working on the music for the screenplay.
As Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida comes to an end with the tragic death of Ulfat, the main leads of the drama have some deadly ideas for a second season.
Mansha Pasha, who played Shafaq in the drama, said: “[In] Season 2, Ulfat comes back as a ghost and she and Shafaq are still fighting on Shahaan.”
On the other hand, Sonya Hussyn, who played Ulfat said; “Season: 2 Ulfat, Shafaq k kehnay pe Shahan ko chamatay kara rahi hai or Shahan soch soch k pagal hogya k akhir par kahan sy rahi hain. Wahh oneliner soch k hi maza aagya.”
Meanwhile, Zahid Ahmed, who played Shahaan, said: “Please kill me in the first episode of season 2.”
Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida’s plotline revolved around a love triangle. Audiences had compared the drama to Anil Kapoor and Sri Devi’s Judai, but Mansha clarified that the story is inspired by the Sindhi folk tale Lilan Chanesar.
Meanwhile, promising to meet again, Sonya bid goodbye to her character in a social media post.
Ever since the teasers of Mansha Pasha, Sonya Hussyn and Zahid Ahmed’s Mohabbat Tujhe Alvida released, audiences have been speculating and discussing the drama’s striking resemblance to Bollywood film Judaai starring Anil Kapoor, Sri Devi and Urmila Matondkar.
Following extensive debate on social media, Mansha took to social media to clarify that the story of her upcoming drama is inspired by the Sindhi folk tale Lilan Chanesar. The actor added that the Bollywood film was also inspired by the same folklore. According to Wikipedia, Judaai is about a woman, Kajal, who lured by wealth, asks her husband, Raj, an honest engineer, to get married to Janhvi, the rich daughter of his boss. However, Kajal soon realises that the wealth has pulled her away from her family. The film also featured a song Mujhe Ek Pal Chain Na Aye which was copied from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s qawwali Sanu Ek Pal Chain Na Aave.
A story may be inspired but not necessarily from where u think. If only we knew our own folklore a bit better! (For all those tweeting at me for my upcoming drama) pic.twitter.com/UbyjJvHkgI
what i was saying initially. INVEST IN LOCAL ARTS, TALES, STORIES. So that we can all learn the stories, the folklore and rich history of our arts and culture. pic.twitter.com/OBpz9It3pt
It is rare for a celebrity or public figure to come forward and discuss their experiences with plastic surgery. However, Zahid Ahmed decided that he wanted to keep his promise of being true and honest with his fans and followers and thus decided to open up about his nose job which went wrong.
Zahid started by saying that opening up about his nose job experience was hard for him because the topic is a sensitive one. But because he made his YouTube channel with the intention of being true and honest to his fans, he decided to open up and talk about this.
Zahid then went on to label his nose job a gunnah (sin), saying that it was a big mistake.
“Your ego sometimes makes you do things which are not right for you,” said the actor.
Zahid said that despite achieving great success and Allah’s countless blessings, his nose bothered him. He shared that the left side of his nose was different from the right side and that when the camera would be at a certain angle, it would make his nose look unflattering and this would irk him and make him feel conscious.
“I asked my director multiple times to change the camera’s angle, but he would tell me that I should focus on my performance and that there is nothing wrong,” said Zahid, adding that his self-criticism blinded him at that point.
Zahid said all of Allah’s creations are beautiful and only He can create perfection but because we are so involved in our own ego, we often forget that and continue to point out flaws in ourselves.
Zahid said that he had contemplated getting rhinoplasty (nose job) for a long time and then just decided to go for it.
“It’s a common procedure and everyone around the world gets it done. So I thought ‘What’s the big deal?’”
Zahid explained that the six months which follow the rhinoplasty are very sensitive and that one has to be very careful. However, following his procedure, things went down. He said that while he does not believe that someone should shed light on their sins but because the matter had become so public, he thought it would be a good idea to discuss it as well as educate his fans not to mess with the rule of Allah.
“Things can go wrong,” he asserted. “Focus on your blessings and not on your shortcomings. Don’t look for faults in your appearance.”
Zahid said after his nose job went wrong, it took him two years to get his nose back to normal. He said that he was very lucky that his work wasn’t affected by this.
“Please learn from my heartbreaking experience and don’t make the same mistakes. Allah has made you perfect and most of the time it’s only us who see these nuqs,” concluded Zahid.

Meanwhile, here is an old picture of Zahid when his nose looked different.
Zahid Ahmed, who has proven his mettle as a versatile actor, recently apologised to the nation for choosing a script so “blindly”.
Zahid’s latest drama Mein Na Janoo, in which he shares the screen with Sanam Jung, Affan Waheed and Komal Aziz Khan, recently ended with a whopping 37 episodes. The drama failed to make a mark or impress the audiences because of it’s weak and boring storyline.
When a fan commented under Zahid’s picture that “Thank God there weren’t 58 episodes of the drama”, Zahid responded, “I apologise to the nation for this drama…next time I won’t read the script so ‘blindly’.”
Zahid had shared a picture of himself sitting on the floor.

Mein Na Janoo saw Zahid play Nain an ex-airforce pilot who had lost his vision in an accident. He was madly in love with his cousin Saira, played by Sanam Jung. Saira liked their other cousin Nehat (Affan Waheed) who liked her back. However, Saira’s evil family hates her mother so they did not want her to get married to the star of their family who is Nehat. They wanted Nehat to get married to Kiran played by Komal Aziz Khan. Eventually, after a dramatic turn of events, Saira gets married to Nain and the two begin their life together. Nehat uses every opportunity to create trouble between the newlyweds because he cannot let Saira go. The family drama also continues to the point that in true Star Plus fashion, a ‘dead’ character comes back to life. You can figure out the rest from here.
Mein Na Janoo was directed by Furqan Khan and written by Noora Makhdoom. It was jointly produced by Adnan Siddiqui’s production company Cereal Entertainment and Momina Duraid Productions.
While the drama ended up being a miss, Zahid’s acting was appreciated by his fans.
