Nadia Khan and Atiqa Odho are two excellent Pakistani actors and co-hosts, currently admired for their TV review show Kya Drama Hai. Both are known for their bold opinions on social issues and ongoing media matters. Lately, they have been talking about Humayun Saeed’s age concerns and insecurities. He recently claimed in a podcast that he was Atiqa’s hero, but Atiqa was portrayed as an older woman while he was playing a younger man.
This week, Nadia Khan and Atiqa Odho responded to Humayun Saeed’s age insecurity with humor.
Nadia Khan sarcastically said, “It indeed is a very curious case. Don’t say anything about Humayun Saeed. I do mind when someone age-shames him. I am feeling so bad that you guys are bashing him on social media. You say he talks cringe, he’s a big star of our industry, then you say he’s insecure, that he’s going through a mid-age crisis—don’t say that. Then you also say he will claim in a few days that Mahira and Mehwish were older than him and he barely managed to look younger with them on screen. You are also making memes and videos on him, then you Google our ages and compare them with Humayun. Don’t do that. We won’t hear anything against him. We raised him up with our hands, we played with him while he was a toddler. I am upset—you can’t target our younger brother. I can’t listen to anything against him.”
Atiqa Odho also said that she was once cast alongside him in a Telefilm where she played a film star and Humayun Saeed played a banker. They got married in the film, and there was nothing about age in it. He was a mature banker, and Atiqa Odho was playing a film star—that’s it.
