Aftab Iqbal and Sohail Ahmed are the two legendary Pakistani electronic media figures who have been in the news for the last few days. The two made headlines after Sohail Ahmed’s aggressive remarks on Aftab Iqbal in Ahmed Ali Butt’s Eid Special Podcast. In the podcast, Ahmed Ali Butt asked Sohail Ahmed about Aftab Iqbal’s opinion on Aman Ullah and him. Sohail Ahmed didn’t like Aftab Iqbal’s opinion and and called him out in harsh words. The podcast initiated a war between the fans of the legendary figures. Their fans started calling out each other, Aftab Iqbal’s fans started degrading Sohail Ahmed whereas Sohail Ahmed’s fans criticized Aftab Iqbal.
While this social media trolling was still going on, Aftab Iqbal published another video in which he requested his fans and followers to immediately stop trolling Sohail Ahmed. He said, “Whatever is happening between me and Sohail Ahmed is the matter between the two brothers, and we might be indulging in such quarrels in future too, but that would purely be our personal Matter and no one is allowed to troll anyone in this. Also, trolling someone like Sohail Ahmed is totally unacceptable. Don’t you know what kind of an actor he is? Who so ever is trolling Sohail Ahmed, is trolling Qavi Khan! These people have served Pakistan with their amazing craft for decades. They deserve to be celebrated”.
He further said that people have used derogatory language and went below the belt in expressing their opinions which is unacceptable. He said he is hurt on Sohail Ahmed’s trolling and it should be stopped right now. He also called out the YouTubers who crossed the line.
