Pakistani singer-turned-actor Farhan Saeed has finally addressed the online criticism surrounding his role in the drama Bas Tera Saath Ho, where he portrays a young college-going boy despite being in his 40s.
Farhan, who first rose to fame through music before becoming one of television’s most loved romantic leads, recently returned to the small screen with the emotionally driven drama. In the serial, he plays Anas - an orphaned young man battling difficult circumstances while trying to survive life’s harsh realities. The character’s innocence, emotional struggles, and journey through education form the emotional backbone of the story.
However, while many viewers praised the drama’s emotional depth, others could not ignore the noticeable age gap between the actor and the character he was portraying. Social media quickly filled with discussions questioning how believable it was for Farhan Saeed to appear as a university student at this stage of his career.
Speaking candidly, Farhan admitted that he understands why some viewers found the role difficult to accept initially. According to him, the college storyline was essential for building the emotional journey and personality development of Anas. He explained that while filming, he never really focused on whether the role would appear awkward because he was deeply invested in the character’s emotional arc.
