Veteran Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh recently made headlines after responding to a viral comment by fellow actor Bushra Ansari. The remark, meant as a joke, sparked a heated public debate on social media.
Javed Sheikh and Bushra Ansari are two of Pakistan’s most respected actors. They have worked together on several memorable projects over the years. Their long-standing friendship has often been described as warm and professional.
The controversy began when a video of Bushra Ansari went viral online. In the clip, the 69-year-old actress recalls an old incident involving Javed Sheikh. She joked that he did not offer her food at the time because he did not even own a house. Laughing, she added that his house was later built and “broken” in front of her, clarifying it was not broken because of her.
The video received mixed reactions. Some viewers found the comment humorous and light-hearted. Others believed it was insensitive to joke about someone’s personal struggles.
Javed Sheikh later addressed the situation publicly. The 71-year-old actor appeared visibly upset while speaking about the matter. He said that, although Bushra Ansari may have intended it as humour, the topic was deeply personal and painful. He emphasized that the loss or destruction of a home or family should not be taken lightly.
Javed Sheikh also highlighted the importance of sensitivity when discussing other people’s experiences. He stated that sharing personal stories in public requires reflection and respect. Many social media users supported Javed Sheikh, praising him for speaking up and advising Ansari to be more thoughtful with her words.
However, some defended Bushra Ansari, saying her comment was harmless and meant only as a joke. They pointed out her kind-hearted nature and long-standing reputation in the entertainment industry.
