Another added that the film industry had suffered due to figures like Shaan Shahid.
One user also reminded others that filmmaking is a business as well.
Some requested Shaan to grow up.
At the same time, others supported the actor. Some viewers said he was simply speaking the truth.
Shaan Shahid remains one of Pakistan’s most recognized film names.
He has worked in cinema for decades and built an image as an action hero, romantic lead, writer, and director.
