Feroze Khan slams Yasir Nawaz for bashing Alizeh Shah

Feroze Khan slams Yasir Nawaz for bashing Alizeh Shah

The director complained about acting with Shah but Khan thinks that wasn't cool.
07 Jun, 2021

TikTok star turned actor Alizeh Shah has received support from fellow actor Feroze Khan after actor and director Yasir Nawaz said she was difficult to work with.

In a recent interview, Yasir Nawaz and his wife spoke about Nawaz's difficulty working with Shah. The couple appeared on Time Out with Ahsan Khan a few days ago and spoke about Nawaz's experience.

Speaking on behalf of Nawaz, Nida revealed that her husband faced some difficulties while working with Shah. He felt the chemistry between the two was difficult to build, though as a director, she said he never really had a problem working with anyone before. The two shared the screen in ARY's Mera Dil Mera Dushman last year.

"I was disturbed during acting," Nawaz said. When asked, he said there were a number of reasons for this, and he just didn't enjoy it. He went as far to say that at one stage, he regretted working on the project. "I went to that limit," he said.

Nawaz went on to discuss the problems he faced a little more deeply, saying, "When an actor is playing a character, they must keep their private life separate from the role. I was even asked by the creators to increase the number episodes since it was performing well, but I turned it down, saying that a reduction in the number of episodes was acceptable but not an increase."

At the end, he said it reached a stage where he said, "Take money from me and let me go."

This conversation quickly turned into the subject of internet chatter.

As the conversation grew heated, Khuda Aur Mohabbat star Khan stepped in to support Shah. He shared the screen with the 20-year-old and said he'd gladly do it again.

"I've worked with Alizeh Shah. It was great working with her, she is a very young girl with no media handling schooling from the family or friends of the industry," he wrote. He added that it takes time for one to "stand on their own" and "learn their way" in such an environment.

It is a common sentiment in the Pakistani entertainment industry that nepotism prevails, and for someone from the outside to come in and shine takes a lot of courage and effort. But these newbies aren't often guided on how to deal with the limelight, the press and Pakistani fans.

Speaking about when he was a newbie, Khan said he too was subjected to bullying by "many in the industry," even though he had family in the industry.

"I still wonder how she goes through," he admitted.

He slammed Nawaz for making such careless remarks, saying, "Such well grown artists naming and shaming such a new kid who could be dealing with any emotional low — not cool."

In a final remark, he spoke directly to Shah, saying he's "always down to work with you again."

The Pakistani showbiz has a tendency to gate-keep and pick favourites, and that is often reflected in how insiders and outsiders are treated differently by productions houses, talent managers and directors. It also reflects in the treatment of these people and we often see that new faces from a non-entertainment families are subjected to far more ruthless and unsolicited criticism. We're glad Khan spoke up in Shah's defence and hope more celebrities will be kind with their words for newbies.

I think creating 'controversies' is the new way to go for 'celebrities' to garner attention because they aren't getting much otherwise.

Bullying a young girl probably as old as his own children makes him a man.

Yasir Nawaz comment on that show is a candid opinion and requirement for that conversation. There is no need to get emotional many viewers like me will back it up that Alizeh may have become good on social media but detoriated as an actor. She needs to get better

If Yasir has spoked some -ve words then it reveals he had really some serious problem with her. And Shah's new character is showing what is she

There has to be something which made Yasir say what he said....he is a seasoned actor and knows what he is saying.

There should be classes that should be given before the start of a projects ! The contract signing and casting should be done after ,before every one understand the expectations of their roles !

So what? Not everyone has the same opinions; directors were also having a problem with Alizeh during the shooting of Ehd-E-Wafa, and Yasir has his own views. Maybe he didn't feel comfortable working with her... So he cannot mold his opinions in accordance with Feroze Khan's opinions. Also, Yasir never judged Alizeh. He just spilled out the truth.
