ISLAMABAD 04 Mar (Online): Actor Sami Khan was recently given a dressing down on a talk show with supposedly \u201cfunny\u201d questions that insinuated he\u2019s had an unsuccessful career. On a show hosted by Fahad Mustafa, comedian Sheikh Qasim said, \u201cYou are so good looking, there\u2019s nothing wrong with you, but somehow your films don\u2019t work out. Why?\u201d Khan argued, \u201cNo, sir, films are always a hit and miss. Salakhen and Wrong No. 2 were a hit. It\u2019s a trial-and-error thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Qasim replied, \u201cBut Wrong No. 2 wasn\u2019t a bigger hit than Wrong No. 1.\u201d Khan protested by clarifying that the film, in fact, was a hit. Mustafa also agreed with Khan, telling Qasim, \u201cIt was a hit! Now do you have a dhang ka (decent) question?\u201d Qasim argued, \u201cOkay let\u2019s see, Khalilur Rehman Qamar made a hit and in his next film, titled Kaaf Kanga, he cast you. That flopped. What would you say about that?\u201d<\/p>\n
A series of similar, berating questions were asked which Khan skillfully either dodged of laughed off, all while appearing visibly uncomfortable. After a clip of the same surfaced online, several actors came to his defense. \u201cThis was so uncomfortable to watch,\u201d commented Ayesha Omar under a news post featuring the snippet.<\/p>\n
\u201cSami Khan is a fabulous actor and one of the most respectful, committed professionals. Bravo to him for handling this with so much grace!\u201d she added. \u201cDegrading your guests or anyone else is not funny. If he wasn\u2019t successful, he wouldn\u2019t be a guest on [your] show,\u201d pointed out Omar.<\/p>\n
Former actor Aisha Uqbah Malik also noted that the questions were \u201cnot funny at all.\u201d She added, \u201cSami Khan is an amazing actor, a thorough gentleman, an absolute joy to work with and a wonderful human being. These shows need to learn where to draw the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
Armeena Khan chimed in, \u201cSo rude and not funny at all. Sami is a phenomenal actor and incredibly popular within the fraternity. A true professional, gentleman and one of my favourite co-stars. He maintained his composure despite all the insults thrown at him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fellow actor Muneeb Butt wrote, \u201cSami bhai is an amazing artist and a phenomenal actor. No one has the right to insult him like this. I strongly condemn this act of Sheikh Qasim, he should apologise!\u201d<\/p>\n
Actor Sadia Khan, too, lashed out, \u201cThis guy is speaking total gibberish while trying to be funny. Sami has his own identity and he is one of the most respected and famous actors. You are no one to decide whether his films are a flop or not. Is this why you call celebrities on your show? To insult them? Pathetic way to get TRPs, nothing else!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
