Director Nabeel Qureshi has reacted with sarcasm to actor Babrik Shah’s remarks about Fahad Mustafa’s acting skills during a recent TV interview.
In the interview, Babrik Shah took a dig at Fahad Mustafa’s acting, calling him “not film material” and “50-50” in movies. He added that Fahad’s real talent lies in hosting, even comparing him with legendary host Tariq Aziz, who was admired for his unmatched screen presence.
According to Babrik Shah, he is “not too good” in acting but deserves praise for his excellence as a host.
The remarks sparked strong reactions from fans, who came forward to defend Fahad Mustafa in the comments.
One fan wrote, “Fahad Mustafa is a brilliant actor.”
Another wrote, “Lol but will you tell me who is this uncle 😂 Fahad Mustafa ki screen presence itni hai we have been following his dramas since Tair e Lahooti and Abdul Qadir.”
A fan added, “Fahad Mustafa is a superstar of Pakistan. He’s phenomenal in every field whether it’s hosting, acting or even production!! He drops bangers each time 🔥 He’s the face of Pakistani TV and cinema!! PERIOD.”
Another commented, “No wayyyy. @mustafafahad26 true hero of Pakistan movies and TV. Go watch Actor in Law, Load Wedding, Mere Paas Tum Ho, Main Abdul Qadir Hoon and so many others. Jeeto Pakistan jeeto hero 🙌.”
Responding to the criticism, Nabeel Qureshi jokingly addressed Fahad Mustafa and said, “Why are you not learning acting? When will you learn it?”
His witty remark amused fans, turning the critique into a lighthearted moment rather than a heated debate.
