Not at all Shahveer. Very few serials are related to saas bahuâŚâŚ
At least among all the dramas i am watching rn none of them belongs to this category!â Insha ⨠(@insha_babar) June 25, 2019

The YouTuber followed with a tirade about how he vows to change the entertainment industry with not just his own web series, but a âFast & Furiousâ inspired venture:
Pakistan needs to have a âFast and Furiousâ type action based movie series. Something that the younger audience would love to watch!

Shahveerâs drama-related tweet reached all social platforms, with online publications sharing it to beg a debate with their followers:
Â
Veteran Imran Ashraf commented underneath âDiva Magazine Pakistanâsâ Instagram post, tagging Shahveerâs Instagram account and honestly giving him the best shut up call ever.
Just when you think you couldnât admire, love and respect Imran anymore, wellâŚthe actor began with a beautifully savage âmein sadqay jaoonâ before diving in D. E. E. P. He said Shahveer was mistaken, and that our drama industry was one of the finest in the world, before ending his statement with âbaishak aap aik talented insaan hain, par nahiâŚinti bari baat ziadi hai.â
Â
YOU KING!
Â
Shahveerâs response was mediocre at best because well, letâs be honest he did receive quite the shut-up call:
Â
SORRY SHAHVEER.
