It’s important to recognize that actors, regardless of their age or appearance, can portray a wide range of characters. Acting is about skill, versatility, and the ability to bring a character to life, not just fitting into stereotypical roles based on looks or age.

Suggesting that someone should only take on certain roles because of their appearance doesn’t do justice to their talent and potential. Instead, it’s more appropriate to focus on the abilities and range of the actress, allowing her to explore a variety of roles that suit her interests and capabilities.

Firdous Jamal has recently made headlines more for his controversial comments about Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed, concerning their age, looks, and acting abilities.

He appeared as a guest on a show and commented at Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed.

Sticking to his stance about Mahira Khan, Jamal said that people may think that she was pretty but according to him, she looked super old. He said that he did not find her to be pretty.

Criticizing fellow actresses based on their appearance, particularly for looking older, is generally considered unkind and unprofessional. Aging is a natural process, and everyone experiences it differently.

It’s more constructive to support and uplift others in the industry, acknowledging the challenges and celebrating the diversity of experiences that come with age. Respecting others and recognizing their contributions, regardless of their appearance, fosters a more positive and inclusive environment.

It’s always best to do so in a way that’s respectful, focusing on qualities like talent, work ethic, and the content of their work rather than on physical appearance.

So, Firdous Jamal’s focusing on Mahira’s age or appearance rather than her talent, skills, or achievements can contribute to a culture of ageism and superficiality.
