Sajid Hasan Faces Backlash Over Wife’s On-Air Mockery

Sajid Hasan faces a social media storm after his on-air mockery of wife Shakeela during an Express TV Ramzan transmission drew widespread public condemnation.

Veteran Pakistani actor Sajid Hasan recently found himself in a social media storm. His appearance on an Express TV Ramzan transmission led to the controversy. During the show, where he was accompanied by his wife, Shakeela, his conduct in a kitchen segment drew significant criticism, sparking a widespread debate across digital platforms.

Sajid Hasan is a seasoned figure in the Pakistani entertainment industry, with a career spanning many years and a repertoire of notable television dramas. Audiences have admired his performances in critically acclaimed serials such as Dhoop Kinarey, Nijat, Balaa, Meri Guriya, Mumkin, and Mubarak Ho Beti Hui Hai. More recently, he garnered significant praise for his brilliant portrayal in Geo TV’s blockbuster serial, Jaan Nisar. His extensive career has cemented his place as a respected actor, though his family life, particularly his son’s alleged drug scandal, has also made headlines in the past.

The contentious incident unfolded during a kitchen segment of the Ramzan transmission, hosted by Javeria Saud. Eyewitnesses and viewers noted Sajid Hasan’s repeated attempts to degrade and mock his wife, Shakeela, even resorting to mimicry. His wife, maintaining a dignified composure, attempted to deflect his rude behavior by playfully remarking, “He was describing artificial intelligence by such actions.” However, the actor continued, making a pointed comment that Shakeela “doesn’t even cook food at home,” while host Javeria Saud was observed laughing at his remarks. The video clip of the segment quickly went viral, igniting a firestorm of public outrage over what many perceived as disrespectful and inappropriate conduct.

The public backlash was swift and severe. Social media users flooded platforms with comments condemning Sajid Hasan’s actions. One fan articulated a common sentiment, writing, “This man is not getting successful because of his behaviour with his wife.” Another user expressed dismay, stating, “He is not good; he is mocking his wife in front of everyone and the host is laughing and saying, do it again.” Many online observers labeled his behavior a “clear red flag,” while others revisited the controversy surrounding his son, questioning the ethics of inviting individuals with such public profiles onto television. As one social media user candidly put it, “TV people have no criteria – they know his son is selling drugs and we are bringing him on television.” This incident has undoubtedly left many fans wondering about the future implications for the seasoned actor’s public image.
