  • Video: Fahad Mustafa kicks out a journalist who refers to him as Fawad

    Video: Fahad Mustafa kicks out a journalist who refers to him as Fawad

    Fahad Mustafa has always been known to be unwaveringly controversial; be it in his opinions regarding the entertainment industry, or his certain antics that have tarnished his respect, the actor always seems to be at the kernel of something questionable.

    In a press conference, a reporter accidentally called Fahad “Fawad,” and things simply escalated from thereon. The actor has been an avid supporter of Karachi Kings and Pakistan Super League (PSL) so, he was part of the bench. The team’s owner, Salman Iqbal was also present with president Wasim Akram and coach (at the time) Mickey Arthur.

    Fahad asked the Samaa News reporter sarcastically who “Fawad” was to which the reporter responded too, in a sarcastic manner.

    The reporter admitted to his mistake and told Fahad that he’d told him off enough, ushering him to move onto the actual question. The team’s owner, captain, and president were amused by the argument, taking it lightly meanwhile.

    Fahad then ordered a rather sarcastic “taaliyan” for the reporter before demanding his mic to be turned off.

    The reporter was clearly upset, and despite having his mic removed, told the actor to mind his language after he called the reporter “beta.”
