‘Feroze Khan’s fans threatened to kill me,’ reveals Nadia Afgan after her criticism goes viral

Senior actress Nadia Afgan has revealed that she received death threats from fans of actor Feroze Khan after she criticised him during a recent interview.

Nadia appeared as a guest on Kya Drama Hai for the second time this week. Referring to her earlier appearance where she discussed ongoing Pakistani dramas, she was asked, “Did you also receive death threats?”

“Yes, some people seriously threatened me,” she revealed.

Initially, she did not name anyone, but later in the interview, she confirmed that the threats came from fans of Feroze Khan.

“Feroze Khan's fans got very emotional. They didn’t like my criticism and sent messages saying they would kill me,” she stated.

She further revealed that the abuse didn’t stop at threats; his fans also questioned her talent.

“They told me I didn’t know how to act and that I was criticising the best actor,” she said.

Nadia responded to the hate with composure. “I usually don’t reply to such messages, but this time I did. I told them, ‘Maybe I’m not beautiful, but I do know how to act.’”

For context, in an earlier episode of Kya Drama Hai, Nadia had commented on Feroze Khan’s drama Humraaz, calling him a “difficult actor” who tries to impress co-stars.

“I haven’t worked with him, but I’ve heard from many actresses that it’s not easy working with him,” she had said.

She had added, “I also heard that he lives in isolation and tries to isolate or intimidate his co-stars. But that’s just what I’ve heard, it’s not my personal experience.”

However, despite the death threats and criticism that followed, Nadia Afgan revealed in the next episode that her commentary on television dramas had also been widely appreciated.

“Many actors have sent messages praising my comments,” she shared.

However, some of her colleagues also advised her to be more cautious with her criticism.

“They said we all belong to the same industry, so I shouldn’t be so harsh,” she added.

According to Nadia, most of the appreciation came from the younger generation of actors and general audiences, many of whom messaged her personally to express their support.

She also noted that while her remarks sparked some criticism, many appreciated her honesty.
