Actor, singer, and writer Mohsin Abbas Haider has stirred fresh conversation within Pakistan’s entertainment industry after making startling claims about actors allegedly arriving on drama sets under the influence of drugs.
Known for his versatility as a performer, Mohsin has built a strong reputation through projects such as Meri Guriya, Muqabil, Lashkara, Dil Tanha Tanha, Siyani, Mohabbat Chordi Maine, Sirf Tum, and Tauba. Alongside acting, he has also earned praise for his music career, particularly his popular song Uddi Ja. These days, the artist is enjoying success with two television projects, Musafat and Milkiyat, which have been receiving positive feedback from viewers.
During a recent appearance on comedian and host Vasay Chaudhry’s talk show Gup Shab, Mohsin opened up about an incident that prompted him to publicly speak out against substance abuse in the entertainment industry.
Recalling the episode, the actor revealed that he had once posted a social media status calling for strict action against actors, actresses, and directors who report to work while intoxicated. According to Mohsin, the post immediately sparked concern among members of a production team he was working with at the time.
He shared that shortly after publishing the message, he received a phone call from the production house, which questioned whether his statement was connected to the very set where he was currently filming. Mohsin said he confirmed that it was.
The actor went on to explain that his frustration stemmed from working alongside a fellow performer whom he believed was not fully present during scenes. He described situations in which he was delivering dialogue while the other actor appeared distracted, struggling to maintain focus or even make proper eye contact during filming.
