Filmmaker Saim Sadiq has raised questions about a recent statement by actor Humayun Saeed, in which he described veteran actresses Atiqa Odho and Nadia Khan as his "bari behnein" (elder sisters), despite the relatively narrow age gap between them.
Taking to Instagram, Saim Sadiq pointedly referred to the age gap between the stars. He wrote, “Why is he trying to prove himself as some young bacha to Atiqa Odho?”
He further highlighted that Atiqa Odho is only four years older than Humayun Saeed, while Nadia Khan is around one year older.
He also compared the situation with actress Sajal Aly, writing, “By that measure, Humayun is 22 years older than his last heroine Sajal Aly, she is possibly younger than Humayun’s daughter even. What should she be calling him then? Nana Jaan?”
Humayun Saeed recently spoke about his professional relationships and on-screen history with senior actors.
