Pakistani Veteran actor and anchor, Adnan Siddiqui, and Amir Liaquat apologized for the sensitive joke on Friday on social media for joking on deceased Indian veteran actors: Sridevi and Irfan Khan on Thursday in Ramadan Transmission.
Recently, Amir Liaquat invited Mera Pass Tum Ho actor on Jeeway Pakistan and told him that he had saved the lives of two Indian actresses and asked him to question him. Later, the host explained that he worked with Sridevi and Irfan Khan in Mom and A Mighty Heart and they passed away. Furthermore, he said that he saved Rani Mukherjee and Bipasha Basu by rejecting Mardaani 2 and Jism 2. In the end, Mr. Liaquat said that whenever Adnan Siddiqui has worked with foreign actors, they passway.
Mast actor who is known for his role Shehwar said that it might be joking for him but it does not joke for him because they both are close to him. The actor adjusted his position and tried to minimize the comment but PTI worker was not ready to keep his incomplete.
The actor later took social media and apologized to the families of Sridevi and Irfan Khan. He said that he was very embarrassed and he was uncomfortable on the show too when Aam Khaye Ga Aam anchor and TV host made such remarks. He called it “callous and sensitive joke” which is not right to make when we think about humanity.
Adnan Siddiqui showed his grievances on the death of the Lunchbox actor by penning down a long caption in which he wrote about his experience of meeting the Angrezi Medium actor during the shoot of A Mighty Heart in India and then in London. He discussed their chit chat in the caption. Mr. Siddiqui shared his picture with the deceased actor who was suffering from Cancer.
Later, Amir Liaquat extended apology and said that a person is bigger who ask for an apology. He wrote on social media that he felt not right to hurting people of Pakistani or viewers by making such jokes.
Amir Liaquat has made pathetic jokes on the senior and veteran actors which he should not make. He should think before speaking. Therefore, the viewers have critical remarks about him. A few years before, he fed mangoes forcefully in the mouth of one of the participants which people did not appreciate. Producers and directors should give guidelines to anchors before permitting them to go on the screen otherwise they will portray the negative image of Pakistan worldwide.
