Veteran actor Humayun Saeed has once again earned the admiration of fans and colleagues for his calm and humorous response to recent criticism from senior actor Firdous Jamal. The controversy started when Firdous Jamal made remarks during a television show, targeting both Humayun Saeed and actress Mahira Khan.
Firdous Jamal criticized Mahira Khan, suggesting she has aged and should no longer play film lead roles. He added that while she may still be seen as beautiful, her time as a heroine has passed, and she should consider other roles.
Firdous Jamal’s comments didn’t stop with Mahira. He also criticized Humayun Saeed, calling him a robber who uses wealth to keep more talented actors from succeeding. He questioned Saeed’s high earnings, even comparing them to those in inappropriate professions, implying that Saeed’s success is due to luck and resources, not talent.
In response, actor Yasir Hussain defended Saeed, praising him as Pakistan’s greatest film actor. Yasir acknowledged Firdous Jamal’s acting talent but questioned his harsh words, suggesting that Jamal should write his opinions about Saeed and Mahira Khan on stamp paper to make them official.
