Taimoor Akbar slams Tabesh Khoja over ‘Biscuit Wrapper’ remark on Tamasha contestant
Pakistani content creator Taimoor Akbar has taken a sharp dig at fashion designer Tabesh Khoja after his remarks about Tamasha Season 5 contestant Hassan went viral online, with the creator questioning whether such comments should be passed off as fashion advice on national television.
A viral video from Tamasha Season 5 has been making rounds on social media, featuring a fashion segment with designer Tabesh Khoja. During the segment, Tabesh appeared to comment on Hassan’s physique and overall appearance, telling him that he looked too straight and comparing his shape to a “biscuit wrapper” rather than a rapper.
The remark quickly caught the attention of Taimoor Akbar, who responded with a sarcastic take on the designer’s advice. He questioned the appropriateness of commenting on Hassan’s appearance in such a manner and argued that Hassan could have equally responded by criticizing Tabesh’s own looks, but chose not to.
Taimoor said that if Hassan had wanted to retaliate, he could have pointed out Tabesh’s appearance and told him to work on himself or go to the gym. However, according to Taimoor, Hassan did not resort to personal attacks.
The content creator further questioned the growing trend of people presenting themselves as fashion stylists despite, in his view, having little to offer professionally. His remarks quickly gained traction among social media users, many of whom tagged Taimoor and thanked him for speaking up.
The viral exchange has also sparked a broader discussion about the way contestants’ appearances and professions are discussed on reality television. While fashion commentary can be part of a styling segment, viewers have questioned whether comparing someone’s body or appearance to a biscuit wrapper crosses the line from constructive criticism into personal ridicule.
The incident has consequently become another talking point surrounding Tamasha Season 5, with viewers debating the boundaries of fashion criticism, body comments and professional advice on national television.
