ISLAMABAD: Actress Nadia Afgan has recently found herself in controversy after making critical remarks about actor Feroze Khan during her appearance on the TV review show Kya Drama Hai.
Following her candid comments, Nadia revealed she has received serious threats from some of Feroze Khanโs fans.
Nadiaโs Critical Remarks and Fan Backlash
Although Nadia Afgan has never worked directly with Feroze Khan, she shared on the show that she has heard from other actors that Feroze is a challenging colleague. โIโve heard from actresses that he tries to intimidate his co-stars and is hard to work with,โ she said. She also criticised his acting style, suggesting that he seems more concerned about maintaining his public image than genuinely getting into his roles.
According to Nadia, his on-screen performances often appear to be extensions of his real personality rather than nuanced portrayals, which disappointed her.
The actressโs comments sparked a heated response online. While some viewers praised her honesty, many fans of Feroze Khan strongly defended him and criticised Nadia for making personal remarks without having worked with him. โYou should only critique someoneโs acting, not their personality,โ wrote one social media user. Another said, โIf you havenโt worked with him, donโt make it personal.โ
Threats and Industry Support
In the aftermath of the backlash, Nadia Afgan disclosed that she has received alarming death threats from anonymous fans. โThey told me, โWe will kill you,โ and โYou donโt know how to act,โโ she shared. Nadia condemned the toxic culture behind such anonymous threats, stating, โAt least show your face if youโre going to threaten someone.โ
Despite the negativity, Nadia has also been supported by fellow actors and writers, who appreciated her candid reviews. Her experience highlights the dark side of fan culture and online harassment faced by public figures today.
