Our mindset has changed. Everyone has an issue with all successful people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\" style=\"text-align: left;\">He continued, \u201cSecondly, all controversies arise from people who are lower than you. If they\u2019re above you, do they say such things? Someone who is more successful will not criticise you. It will come from someone who is below you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cRather, if you don\u2019t receive such criticism, believe that there is a problem with you. You\u2019re not working well,\u201d Saeed candidly asserted.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if trollers criticizing him for his age hurts him, the <em>\u2018London Nahi Jaunga\u2019<\/em> star maintained, \u201cThey will say it, why not? They must think, \u2018When will he quit? He keeps appearing as a hero.\u2019 What difference does it make? Let them talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"Shan e Suhoor | Humayun Saeed | Nida Yasir | 12 March 2024 | ARY Digital\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9XiDMWgdFNQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe day they stop buying my tickets is the day I will know that my time is over or I am not doing the right kind of work. They may talk, but they\u2019re the ones who come to watch my films the most after spending their money. There could be 100 comments out of which two say why is he coming as a hero, but they will keep talking forever. They\u2019ve been saying this since my first film and they\u2019ll say it till the next ten films,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Further taking a sly dig at young starlets, with millions of followers on social media platforms, Saeed added, \u201cSome people might have 10 million followers but when their films release, even one lac of them don\u2019t show up. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEither those followers are fake \u2013 I\u2019m not talking about paid followers \u2013 but maybe they\u2019re not those kinds of fans. Social media fans and genuine fans \u2013 those who spend money and like you \u2013 are entirely different. They\u2019re the real fans. They might not message you online, but they will buy a ticket and go to the cinema to watch your film,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/arynews.tv\/8-actors-from-india-pakistan-were-auditioning-humayun-saeed-the-crown\/\">\u2018At least 8 actors from India &amp; Pakistan were auditioning\u2026\u2019: Humayun Saeed on starring in \u2018The Crown\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"rocketlazyloadscript\">\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n    FB.init({\n      appId      : '161345524510473',\n      cookie     : true,\n      xfbml      : true,\n      version    : 'v3.0'\n    });\n    FB.AppEvents.logPageView();   \n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s A-list film and TV star Humayun Saeed opened up on age-related criticism in the current digital age and the rising trend of social media followers being the equivalent to gauge someone\u2019s star power.
