Shaan Shahid’s criticism was direct and unflinching. He expressed his dismay, stating that these actors “live in their small world,” and accused them of hypocrisy. “They believe in art has no boundaries if they get a call from India but suddenly they have boundaries if artists are from Lahore,” he asserted, highlighting a double standard. While acknowledging the quality work being produced in Karachi, he emphasized his observation that Karachi actors have not extended a welcoming gesture to their Lahore counterparts.

Shaan Shahid’s candid remarks have certainly stirred the pot, prompting a necessary conversation about unity and mutual support within the Pakistani film industry.
