The controversy surrounding actor Fahad Sheikh has taken another turn after actress and former Tamasha contestant Zainab Raja shared her own experience of working with him.
In a social media comment that has gained widespread attention, Zainab alleged that Fahad Sheikh’s behaviour often made people uncomfortable despite being presented as humour.
Her remarks also came amid the ongoing debate over the alleged treatment of veteran actor and writer Syed Mohammed Ahmed.

Zainab Raja said she worked with Fahad Sheikh on Green Entertainment’s Wonderland.
According to her, his behaviour regularly crossed professional boundaries on set.

Her comment quickly spread across social media as discussions surrounding the controversy continued to grow.
Actress Reacts to Alleged Treatment of Syed Mohammed Ahmed
Zainab also expressed disappointment over the alleged incident involving Syed Mohammed Ahmed.
She condemned the reported behaviour and shared her emotional reaction.
She wrote:
“What he has done with Mohammed Ahmed Sahab is heartbreaking and disgusting. I can’t imagine someone doing this to our parents. How can someone do that to such a pyara insan.”
Her comments added another voice to the growing public reaction surrounding the issue.
Alleged Video Sparks Online Criticism
The controversy intensified after an alleged behind-the-scenes video circulated on social media.
The clip reportedly showed Fahad Sheikh mocking Syed Mohammed Ahmed’s bald head while others on the set laughed.
Many social media users claimed the veteran actor appeared visibly uncomfortable in the footage.
However, the video continues to be discussed online as criticism against the alleged behaviour grows.
Podcast Revelation Led to Public Speculation
The issue first surfaced after Syed Mohammed Ahmed spoke about an upsetting experience during a recent podcast.
He alleged that a much younger lead actor repeatedly mocked his appearance, baldness and acting style while they worked together.
Although he did not identify the actor by name, social media users later began linking the allegations to Fahad Sheikh after the alleged video emerged online.
Industry Members Express Support
Several well-known figures from Pakistan’s entertainment industry have since voiced support for Syed Mohammed Ahmed.
Actors including Syed Jibran, Faysal Quraishi, Shamoon Abbasi, Omair Rana and others publicly stood in solidarity with the veteran artist.
Many also called on the alleged junior actor to issue a public apology while praising Syed Mohammed Ahmed for maintaining his dignity throughout the controversy.
Later, Syed Mohammed Ahmed shared an emotional Instagram post thanking colleagues for their support.
He said the industry’s response reminded him that it was “not just a fraternity, but a family.”
