Veteran Pakistani actor Faisal Rehman is once again in the spotlight after a recent social media video sparked widespread criticism online.
Known for his strong legacy in Lollywood and television, the actor surprised fans by turning his kitchen into a lively dance floor in a recent Instagram post.
Sharing the video with the caption, “MERAY AZIZ HUMWATANO… KITCHEN DANCE… SELECT ONE YOU LIKE,” Faisal Rehman was seen energetically dancing to the song “Juli Ka Makan.”
Dressed casually in pants, the actor appeared carefree as he moved to the music, even going shirtless during parts of the clip. His bold and playful performance quickly grabbed attention across social media platforms.
However, the video did not sit well with everyone. While some fans appreciated his confidence and fun loving spirit, many netizens began trolling his dance moves and questioned his recent content choices.
The unusual setting and quirky style became a talking point, with critics labeling the video as attention-seeking.
Addressing the backlash in a recent interview, Faisal Rehman openly admitted that he does seek attention and validation from his audience. He stated that such content is created deliberately to stay visible and relevant, adding that actors naturally thrive on public attention and engagement.
According to him, maintaining a presence on screen whether through traditional media or social platforms is an essential part of an artist’s journey.
Reflecting on the power of social media, he also shared how one of his earlier statements, joking about meeting Quaid-e-Azam, was taken seriously by many. This, he said, made him realize how easily content can go viral and be misinterpreted. Despite criticism, Faisal Rehman continues to embrace his individuality and remains unapologetic about expressing himself freely.
With a career spanning decade from becoming a film star at just 14 to successfully transitioning into television and now digital platforms Faisal Rehman proves he still knows how to stay in the spotlight.
