Pakistani actor's ageist comments on Kareena Kapoor triggers outrage

Pakistani actor Khaqan Shahnawaz's recent comments on Indian megastar Kareena Kapoor Khan's age have gone viral and triggered outrage from her fans across the border as well as Pakistan. 

A fan of Khaqan's had expressed her wish to see the actor with Kareena during his appearance on Geo News' 'Hasna Mana Hai with Tabish Hashmi' to which he answered jokingly: "I can play her son. Yeah, I can play her son, definitely". 

The actor then pointed out that the "Jab We Met" megastar is much older than him and he can only act as her son.

The overall conversation did not sit well with fans who poured out in Kareena’s favour. One fan remarked, “Kareena wouldn’t even know who he is, even I’ve never seen a drama of his”. Another stated that the actor is “full of himself”.

The clip of Khaqan, shared on Instagram, received countless angry comments, calling out the actor’s attitude, including these:

 

Another fan pointed out that these remarks will lead to Khaqan becoming famous as the interview has gone viral.

Meanwhile the “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham” actor is living the best time of her life with husband Saif Ali Khan and son Taimur as the family prepares for Christmas celebrations.
