Humayun Saeed’s Kissing Scene In ‘The Crown’ Causes An Uproar Amongst Netizens

Superstar Hamayun Saeed’s international debut on Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ has been a hot potato at the moment, in which he has been cast to play Princess Diana’s love interest, Dr Hasnat Khan. While many fans and celebrities are cheering and supporting the Bin Roye star for his success, netizens are lashing out at the Pakistani actor for his steamy scenes with Elizabeth Debicki, who plays Princess Diana in the show.

One Twitterer highlighted their view on gendered discrimination, saying that “My only observation of Saeed in The Crown is that whenever Pakistani actresses have kissed onscreen, they’ve been crucified for it but when a Pakistani man does it, there are absolute crickets. The hypocrisy of our people is nauseating.”

Some used Mahira Khan as an example: “Khan got more hate for her ‘bad’ Punjabi in ‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ than Humayun Saeed is getting for kissing a woman on-screen in that western show, (if he’s getting any).”

Many pointed out that if a Pakistani actress had done a steamy scene, people would’ve “crucified” her.

Despite the criticism, numerous people have been nothing but supportive of Saeed’s acting journey. Pakistani Stars such as Adnan Siddiqui expressed their delight at the Pakistani actor’s role, highlighting how the “entire Pakistan is basking” in Saeed’s triumph.
