Fahad Mustafa is a celebrated Pakistani television and film figure, loved for his acting and game show Jeeto Pakistan. He was recently praised in the blockbuster drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, where he starred opposite Hania Aamir. His performance in the romantic drama was widely praised by drama lovers. Despite his long-standing career and success in films and production, Fahad Mustafa often trends on social media for his arrogance, loud-mouthed persona, and insulting behaviour with others on his live show.
Recently, the actor was promoting his film Aag Lagay Basti Mein on journalist Maliha Rehman’s YouTube show. In the interview, he opened up about being arrogant. Fahad also taunted Atiqa Odho.
Talking about being arrogant, Fahad Mustafa said, “I am not arrogant; I am wise enough to know where to open up and where to be reserved. If people see it as arrogance, let it be—it’s my right. If I see that my vibe is not matching, I get reserved. Sometimes I hang out easily, sometimes I can’t. People know me, but yes, sometimes I go unnoticed. I don’t go to outings because people recognize me, and then it becomes a hassle. I am not saying that I am Tom Cruise or Shahrukh Khan, but yes, meeting people becomes tiring sometimes. You don’t look good all the time, and people also make sure to capture them perfectly but end up taking bad pictures of stars.”
Talking about making blunders in interviews, Fahad Mustafa said, “I don’t make that many mistakes, but people around me make more mistakes than me. I accept that I am important enough and popular enough that people love to mention me in all the interviews. I don’t know why celebrities mention me in all the shows. I don’t mind; I feel proud that everyone wants to mention me.”
Talking about why he doesn’t like praise, Fahad Mustafa said, “I’m afraid of praise because after praise like this, people start thinking about how to put me down again and again.”
