Renowned actor Shamoon Abbasi stepped in to defend Fahad Mustafa, addressing Rajab Butt in a respectful yet firm manner. He acknowledged Fahad’s two-decade-long career and highlighted the struggles actors endure in the industry.
“Fahad Mustafa is a big name. He has been working in the industry for over 20 years,” Shamoon stated. “Actors leave their homes early, searching for work, locations, and payments. It is difficult for you to understand their journey.”
He also pointed out that digital creators rely heavily on social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. “If these platforms shut down, what will you guys do? But Fahad Mustafa will still have work,” he pointed out.
Actor Faizan Sheikh also spoke out against Rajab Butt’s remarks, calling them disappointing. He shared a clip of Rajab’s interview on Instagram, where the vlogger first claimed he didn’t know Fahad Mustafa but later mentioned Jeeto Pakistan, Fahad’s uber-popular game show.
“Whether you like it or not, the person you deny knowing is famous, respected, and loved globally,” Faizan wrote. “Such an attitude reflects the mindset of our society.”
He further emphasized Fahad Mustafa’s contributions, stating that the actor has made Pakistan proud on an international level since Rajab was a child. He urged the vlogger to show respect to those whom God has blessed with success.
Shamoon Abbasi’s composed response has received praise, with many calling his words well-structured and humble. Meanwhile, Faizan Sheikh’s remarks have also gained traction, with fans supporting his strong stance in defense of Fahad Mustafa.
