Veteran actor Adnan Siddiqui came under public scrutiny after a video of him went viral. The actor was seen mocking Pakistani cricketer Sarfaraz Ahmed over his speech impediment, and netizens are not happy with it.
The video shows the two caught up in a verbal duel on the sets of Jeeto Pakistan League.
Adnan Siddiqui and Sarfaraz Ahmed are the captains of Lahore Captains and Quetta Knights on the show. And as they lead two different teams, you can expect some sort of rivalry and exchange of verbal tussling.
However, what has caught the attention of Twitteratis is that Adnan Siddiqui seemed to forget the line between trolling and mocking someone for their speech-related ailments.
Facing each other off, the two captains exchanged a few comments and Adnan Siddqui went a little overboard which turned it into an ‘insensitive remark’ on Sarfaraz’s speech.
Oh lala 😂😂😂 #SarfarazAhmed 🤪🤪 pic.twitter.com/JtEmv8dSW0

Social media was a little confused over this because a few days ago, the Meray Pass Tum Ho actor said he didn’t appreciate Amir Liaquat joking about the deaths of Bollywood actors he had worked with. He even apologized to his fans and said that he regrets being a part of that show.
Therefore, it was rather confusing because Adnan took the moral high ground in that situation. What netizens couldn’t wrap their head around was that this is the same person that made a direct ‘ugly’ and ‘insensitive’ remark about someone’s speech impediment. Talk about being insensitive!
Is this the same Adnan Siddiqui who condemned Amir Liaquat's crass joke? https://t.co/VgOSv9PfVs

If you could be offended by someone mocking the death of someone close to you, then he has the right to be offended by you mocking the way he speaks. You issued an apology for an indirect attack on you & here you’re directly,personally attacking him.

This is shameful & disgusting.
Despicable!
Mocking someone 4 stuttering or lisp which r speech disorders is highly insensitive.
Just a few days ago people were praising @adnanactor 4 not laughing 8 insensitive remarks of @AamirLiaquat. Well, now now v know they're all the same. https://t.co/jhI9IetgCJ— Asad Hanif (@asadhanif_) May 6, 2020
Shame What He Did. Making Fun of Someone is Just Terrible. No One Should Make Fun of Someone who has an Issue Regarding his Health ( Thats Natural ) He Made Fun of Sarfaraz Because the way He Speaks, He Should Better Know that for GOD Everyone is Same !

Now they ‘regret’ admiring him. They are canceling Adnan Sidiqui altogether.
I used to love and respect Adnan. Well that's down the drain now

Having met Adnan Siddqui, he only confirmed the labels desi men often receive. He isn’t impressive at all.
The charm lasts about 10 seconds.
Then shit gets real.— K-Hanif (@KJHanif) May 6, 2020
