Pakistani actor Mohsin Abbas Haider stirred up controversy with a recent post on his Instagram handle.
In the photo, he confidently posed with three women in a pool, captioned "Beat the heat with baba and babes".
However, his bold attitude didn't sit well with some followers, who flooded the comments section with criticism.
Amidst the negativity, veteran actress Shagufta Ejaz added a playful touch by commenting "premmmm" on his post.
Mohsin, in response, humorously defended himself by revealing that the picture is actually a teaser for his upcoming web series.
The photos show the actor enjoying the company of his female pals beating the heat in this immense hot weather.
The squad was together in the pool spending quality time and posing for the camera for the click shoulder to shoulder while Mohsin was shirtless and the three women wearing skimpy revealing swimwear.
The backlash stemmed from the perceived departure from traditional norms, with Mohsin's glamorous poolside shoot seen as a departure from cultural expectations.
