Renowned Pakistani actor Shaan Shahid recently stirred social media with bold shirtless photos following a rigorous workout session, captioned, “Your journey doesn’t end post-workout, it’s just the beginning.” Shared on Facebook, the images, featuring his chiseled physique and shower backdrop, split opinions among fans and followers, igniting a fiery discussion online.

Supporters lauded Shaan’s dedication to health and fitness, with one admirer declaring, “As a Pakistani and a fitness professional, I’m always proud of you, Shaan Bhai!” Another requested guidance, writing, “Can you share your workout and diet routine?

However, detractors criticized the display, with one sharply questioning, “Would you allow your family to share such ‘erotic’ photos publicly?” Another commenter added, “Should female colleagues feel encouraged to post similar bathroom photos?”

The controversy generated over 2,300 comments, prompting Shaan to address his critics on Friday. Reposting one of the photos, the Zill-e-Shah star penned a lengthy defense, beginning, “Men and women are created equal but blessed with different gifts: physical strength for men, beauty and patience for women, along with ‘sharm aur haya’ [modesty].”

Shaan explained that his fitness journey was inspired by the physical demands of an upcoming role and a personal commitment to self-care. “As an artist in my 50s, it’s my job to transform for the script. My body is my lifelong companion, and I must respect it,” he wrote, emphasizing his duty to spread fitness awareness.

Finally, addressing cultural concerns, Shaan remarked, “Society has made it acceptable for men to go shirtless. If anyone wants to challenge this norm, they’re welcome to try—perhaps their post will go more viral than mine!”

The post reaffirmed his commitment to inspiring fitness in his peers while silencing his critics with wit and perspective, further solidifying Shaan Shahid’s standing as both a provocateur and a role model.
