Dr Zakir Naik lashes out at Ducky Bhai for 'comparing' him with Shah Rukh Khan

Renowned Islamic scholar Dr Zakir Naik has publicly criticised popular Pakistani vlogger Saad-ur-Rehman, known as Ducky Bhai, for including him alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in his list of idols.

The controversy began when the YouTuber met the cleric at the Governor House in Karachi.

Ducky Bhai also recorded a vlog with Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori's son, where Zaid gave him the surprise of Dr Naik's visit to his house.

"Shah Rukh Khan, Virat Kohli, Cristiano Ronaldo, Imran Khan and Dr Zakir Naik are my idols," excited Ducky was heard saying in his vlog uploaded on his YouTube channel.

However, Mr Saad clarified to Tessori's son that the comparison between Shah Rukh Khan and Dr Zakir Zaik was not fair.

Ducky also added the moments in his vlog when he met with the globally celebrated personality.

During their meeting, Ducky Bhai shared his admiration for Dr Naik, revealing that he listens to the scholar's lectures during long trips instead of music.

"I welcome you to Pakistan on behalf of the entire Ducky Bhai army. Very honored to meet you, and thank you so much for giving me the time; it really means a lot," he added.

However, the 58-year-old preacher did not find it well to be included in the list of Ducky's idols with Bollywood A-lister.

Dr Zakir Naik, during his question and answer session in the port city on Sunday, expressed his disappointment with the vlogger without mentioning his name.
