Yasir Hussain takes a jibe at Nadia Khan after she threatens legal action

Renowned screenwriter and actor Yasir Hussain took to Instagram to respond to Nadia Khan’s recent outburst, where she warned actors and podcast hosts of legal action over negative remarks made about her.

In a lighthearted jab, Yasir jokingly blamed fellow actors Saba Faisal and Sarwat Gilani for “provoking” Nadia Khan, while addressing his own earlier criticism of her drama reviews.

"Saba Faisal and Sarwat Gilani must have said something. If anyone was offended by my 1.5 score, then I'll make it 2.5. I hope we're okay now. Happy to you," Yasir wrote on his Instagram story.

Nadia Khan had earlier criticised the drama Paradise, directed by Yasir Hussain and starring Iqra Aziz and Shuja Asad. She gave the series just 4 points and said a director had once told her, “If you don’t like a drama, why even give it a four?”

In response, Yasir had hit back saying he would give Nadia Khan 1.5 points for her entire career in hosting and acting.
