Shaan has something to say regarding Firdous Jamal's sexist comments about Mahira Khan

"Mahira Khan is a star and no opinion can take this status from her. And Firdous Sab is a legend," tweeted Shaan.

Almost a week after Firdous Jamal commented on Mahira Khan's age, Shaan Shahid has deceided to speak up about the issue.

On Faisal Qureshi's morning show, Jamal said he believes Mahira is too old to play a heroine and was called out for it by fans and fellow members of the industry alike.

The Arth 2 actor took to Twitter to express his thoughts, which are very sad.

"Sad to hear what Firdous Sab said about Mahira Khan," wrote Shaan. "And sad to see what people on Twitter are saying to Firdous Sab. He has given more to this industry than just his last interview. Mahira Khan is a star and no opinion can take this status from her. And Firdous Sab is a legend."

Looks like all Shaan wants is for everyone to get along.

@haris Why is it insensible to say someone is old.

Actors take their life too seriously.

What a mature statement

Glad to know that Shan acknowledges mahira's stardom and firdous jamal's contribution. At least he has that courage to accept.

I think every person has right to speak. Some people do not agree with Firdous Jamal but I am sure that most of the people definitely agree to his views.

What is so wrong in saying that someone looks old, everyone has the right to express their opinion and that is what Firdous Jamal did, no need to make such a big thing out of it.

I think Firdous sb was under the influence when he made that statement. **it happens. Let's move on.

Somehow it is completely ok to say a male actor is too old to play a hero. The world we live in now.

This dude tried to be politically correct; how come a legend be wrong about an overrated star!
