Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
Pakistani emerging actor Khaqan Shahnawaz has appeared as a guest on the show ‘Gup Shup with FUCHSIA’ where he started praising himself and said how privileged he is in the Pakistani entertainment industry for his good looks.
This clip of the actor went viral in no time in which he claims himself as ‘conventionally good looking’.
Khaqan’s own words became trouble for him as people started labeling him as a ‘narcissist’ and ‘self-obsessed’.
The ‘College Gate’ actor talked about his appearance which he thinks is such a plus point for him because of all that he did not face any difficulty in appearing as an actor in the showbiz industry.
During the span of the interview, Khaqan stated:
“I have the best gift of all, I have the genetic gift, I looked this way (pointing towards his face), who will deny that being conventionally good-looking will not help? I am a conventionally good-looking guy, I have green eyes, I have a fair skin color, I am tall, I am broad and I have a well-defined face.”

“These things help you, why do I sit and say oh no I worked really hard, I worked really hard but I am very privileged to be a section of the society that can be friends with people like Danyal Zafar without being in the industry.
I am educated, I have never had to go hungry, those things really help you, I can fly to Karachi to meet a friend or a director. I can afford an apartment in Karachi, actually, I got an apartment because I am privileged.”

Netizens slammed him for praising himself a lot and said that he should stop being proud of those things in which he did nothing and should thank Allah for once for all these blessings.
“1 Baar ‘Shukar Alhamdulillah’ keh deta to arrogant vibes na aati”
“So much pride in things that are none of his own creation or hard work”
“Narcissism at its peak!!!!... I can, I can, I am, I do, I, I, I, I lol...”
“The correct wording, he could say is that he’s got Eurocentric features and that helped him get through and that he does not support it. Aur bakwas karne ki zarurat nahi thi. Shows his arrogance.”

While some people said that despite having all these features he is still not handsome.
The actor clapped back at the trolls over his interview.

On the other hand, a few fans took his side and said that he is spitting the facts as these things are considered very important in our society.
“He's not self-obsessed… he's just spitting the facts of our society… We are obsessed with beauty, and he fits in the beauty standards of our society that's why he gets the privilege…Simple.”
“Very beautiful said all that, finally someone said that. It's okay to be privileged we didn't choose our lives but at least we should accept it if we are privileged!”
“In a world full of insecure people if a person is confident enough to find himself handsome then what’s wrong with that?!!! Whether you find him handsome or not is your opinion and it’s completely irrelevant here. Y’all are just busy hating and completely missing a very valid point he is trying to make here!!!”
