Pakistani beautiful actress and model Zhalay Sarhadi has reacted to a viral satirical video mocking the changing tone of evergreen Faysal Qurishi during the ongoing Mohammed Ahmed, Fahad Sheikh controversy.
The parody by influencer named Permit to Life, humorously mocked Faysal Quraishi's changing stance on how he initially condemned the alleged mistreatment of veteran actor Mohammed Ahmed but later adopted a more neutral tone and praised Fahad Sheikh after he publicly apologised.
The skit sarcastically imitates Faysal who initially got angry over the incident but later changed his perspective after learning the accused was a friend.
It then jokes about common industry arguments that includes film and television sets are like a family, misunderstandings should be resolved privately and Fahad deserved appreciation for apologising.
The video also pokes fun at the idea of "cancel culture," with giving suggestion that even people accused of more serious misconduct have continued working in the entertainment industry.
Zhalay Sarhadi appeared to enjoy the satire, sharing it with the caption, "Hahahhahahahahaaa I just can't."
The reaction comes shortly after Fahad Sheikh issued a public apology to Mohammed Ahmed with clarifying that the viral clip had been taken out of context.
He said he had already apologised to the veteran actor privately, apologised again publicly and maintained that he never intended to disrespect a senior colleague.
He also stated that legal action was being initiated against those who circulated what he described as a misleading video.
The controversy began after Mohammed Ahmed alleged on a podcast that a now famous younger actor had repeatedly mocked his appearance, acting style and hairstyle during a shoot.
