The young pair’s teaser for Geo TV’s Mohabbat sparks heated debate online, with critics questioning Shahveer Kadwani’s readiness for a romantic lead amid nepotism claims.
Last week, Geo TV unveiled the first teaser for its upcoming drama Mohabbat, pairing newcomer Aina Asif with producer’s son Shahveer Kadwani. The clip instantly ignited a firestorm on social media, with users questioning the young actor’s suitability for a romantic lead.
Shahveer Kadwani is the son of veteran producer Abdullah Kadwani, who heads the influential production house behind Geo TV’s flagship shows. Before Mohabbat, Kadwani Jr. appeared in minor roles and sitcoms, building a modest resume behind the scenes rather than in front of the camera. His Instagram profile, though private, hints at a growing following eager to see his transition to lead roles.
In the teaser, Shahveer Kadwani leans against a rain‑slicked wall, eyes locked with Aina Asif, directly recreating the iconic rain‑soaked moment from Ashiqui 2. Dressed in a simple white shirt, he attempts the brooding stare that made the original a cult classic. The comment section erupted, with one user writing, ‘He looks like a school child,’ another declaring, ‘He is a sifarshi,’ and a third warning, ‘His father will keep signing him until he becomes a hero.’
Whether the backlash will fade once the full drama airs remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the conversation around nepotism in Pakistani showbiz has been reignited. What do you think—will Shahveer Kadwani silence his critics, or is the industry due for a fresh face?
