Actor Shamoon Abbasi has come to the defense of Fahad Mustafa after YouTuber Rajab Butt refused to recognize the renowned actor and criticised his stance on family vlogging.

Abbasi called out Butt’s remarks, labeling them as “arrogant” and inappropriate toward a hardworking star of Pakistan’s entertainment industry.

Earlier, Rajab Butt questioned Mustafa’s credibility, stating, “A senior earns respect through their actions,” while also criticising his game show and insinuating, “Everyone knows what it takes to get a role in a drama.”

Responding via Instagram, Abbasi defended Mustafa, highlighting the challenges actors face. “Actors dedicate at least 25 years to their craft before making a name for themselves in the industry,” he stated, explaining that they “work under tough conditions, endure physical strain, and face financial difficulties due to delayed payments or long waiting periods for co-stars to be available.”

Abbasi asserted that YouTubers do not experience the same level of struggle. “I am disappointed by the arrogant way you spoke to my brother, Fahad Mustafa,” he said.

He further warned, “If these platforms were to cease or get banned, their fame would disappear overnight,” while actors like Mustafa would remain successful. Concluding, Abbasi urged humility, saying, “When God grants you fame, try to carry it with humility.”
