Actor Sami Khan was trending on Twitter yesterday when a clip of his appearance at “The Fourth Umpire”.
The hosts of the comedy show used inappropriate expressions about Khan’s career. In the clip shared by Galaxy Lollywood, the actor can be seen being asked about his film career, pay grade and other questions that are deemed insulting
As this clip went viral, celebrities came to defend Khan and criticized the hosts of ‘The Fourth Umpire’ for their cruel behavior.
Muneeb Butt defended Khan as an “amazing artist and phenomenal actor” and called out the host Sheikh Qasim for his misbehavior
“Sami bhai is an amazing artist and a phenomenal actor no one has a right to insult him like this Strongly condemn this act of sheikh Qasim he should apologise!”
Actresses Ayesha Omar and Armeena Khan also came to Khan’s defense, by pointing out that the clip was not funny at all and was infact, quite uncomfortable to watch.
“This was so uncomfortable to watch. @sami_khan.official is a fabulous actor and one of the most respectful, committed, professional and joyful people to work with and bravo to him for handling this with so much grace. degradating your guests or anyone else is not funny at all. If he wasn’t successful, he wouldn’t be a guest in their show” wrote Ayesha Omar.
Armeena Khan said “So rude and not funny at all. Sami is a phenomenal actor, incredibly popular within the fraternity, a true professional. A gentleman and one of my fav co-stars. He maintained his composure despite all the insults thrown at him here. You’re the best Sami!”
Actor Ghana Ali shared that Khan had many succesful shows in the past, and because he wasn’t currently the most popular actor doesn’t mean he won’t ever be.
“Is this man ok? there are so many hit projects of his , if Sami bhai dosent have successful career then who does he’s consistently on top from years hes an amazing actor! And extremely humble , how can they even allow him to talk to him like that … that’s a shame”
Sami Khan addressed the controversy on his Instagram stories last night where he shared that success and failure was not in the hands of people, but rather in the hands of God.
