Fawad Khan jokes about backlash over his judge role, saying, “Pakistan isn’t letting me sing.”
KARACHI: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-Oct,31, 2025) Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan has broken his silence after facing criticism over his selection as a judge on Pakistan Idol. The show has returned after ten years but is already drawing controversy, particularly regarding its judging panel featuring Fawad Khan, Bilal Maqsood, Zeb Bangash, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
Social media users questioned Fawad and Bilal’s musical relevance for younger audiences, while singer Humaima Arshad also criticized Fawad’s inclusion. Responding humorously at a music launch in Lahore, Fawad said, “No, I haven’t sung any song . Pakistan isn’t letting me sing,” a comment that has since gone viral online.
