Faisal Qureshi responds gracefully to Nauman Ijaz’s light-hearted remark

In the sparkling world of showbiz, light-hearted jabs are common, but seasoned actors often respond with grace.

Recently, during a Ramadan transmission on a private TV channel, veteran actor and host Faisal Qureshi addressed a remark made by fellow actor Nauman Ijaz.

In a previous interview, Nauman Ijaz had joked that when a makeup artist repeatedly approached him, he told them, “I am not Humayun Saeed or Faisal Qureshi who needs so much makeup.” He explained that he focuses primarily on his character roles rather than relying heavily on makeup, often just wiping his face with a wet towel.

Faisal Qureshi responded with warmth and humor, saying that if Nauman had made such a comment, “it’s okay, I don’t think he intended to belittle us.” He added with a smile that Nauman Ijaz is naturally handsome and hardly needs makeup.

Qureshi also suggested that Nauman may have been highlighting the difference in roles, noting that he primarily plays character-driven parts, while Faisal and others usually portray leading hero roles.

He further observed that incomplete statements can often spark unnecessary controversies, and social media tends to exaggerate such exchanges.

The actor’s calm and gracious response underscores professionalism and mutual respect in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
