When it comes to grace and confidence, Imran Abbas knows how to handle criticism with style. Recently, Pakistani actor Babrik Shah stirred controversy by saying Imran Abbas is not “film material” and claimed that “he does not even look like a man.” The harsh remark created an uproar on social media, where fans quickly came to Imran’s defense. But Abbas himself didn’t need much defending—he gave a savage yet dignified response that shut down the negativity.
During a live social media session with fans, Imran Abbas made it clear that hate and criticism don’t bother him. He explained that success always attracts envy and negativity. “Those who hate others,” he remarked, “are themselves deprived of success and achievements. When you look at such people, their profiles speak volumes—they have little to no accomplishments, and that pain drives their hatred.”
The actor added that he considers hate as part of the package that comes with blessings and fame. According to him, people who try to put others down are often the ones left behind in their careers. With a calm but cutting statement, Imran hinted that critics like Babrik Shah reflect their own lack of achievements rather than exposing any flaws in others.
Babrik Shah, known for appearing in only a handful of films and TV shows, was at the centre of backlash after his statement about Imran Abbas. Social media users reminded him that while his own career has been limited, Abbas has made a mark both nationally and internationally with numerous successful dramas and films.
