The issue began when Atiqa Odho suggested Fahad Mustafa should work with women closer to his age. Fahad Mustafa responded during Jeeto Pakistan, saying, “What’s with Atiqa Odho? Will she only be happy if we become her heroes? We will come with you as a hero after you have around four cosmetic surgeries.” Many fans called his remark disrespectful.
After the backlash, Atiqa Odho took to Instagram to issue a heartfelt apology. She wrote, “My comment about Fahad Mustafa perhaps hurt his feelings, and he reacted emotionally. If I’ve unintentionally hurt him or anyone else, I apologize. In these times, we must help others stay afloat.”
“We are only human, and to err is human. Let’s move on and pray for better times. Fahad is a talented and hardworking professional. He reacted out of emotion, and I truly feel sad that we, as public figures, can’t say anything lightheartedly without being attacked. Forgive and forget.” She further added.
Fahad Mustafa has also responded warmly, saying, “You are our elder, we love you, God bless you, and I apologize.” His comment helped calm the situation and reassured fans that both stars respect each other.
