Shabbir Jan Reveals the Truth Behind His Feud with ‘Limitless’ Nida Yasir [Video]

Nida Yasir and ARY had humiliated him on their show in 2021.

Veteran actor Shabbir Jan shared details about his alleged feud with morning show host Nida Yasir on Monday, and we are not surprised that someone finally has spoken up because it’s about time.

TV host and actress, Nida Yasir has a knack for stirring up controversies with her shenanigans on Good Morning Pakistan for the sake of gaining TRP (Television Rating Program/Target Rating Program) ratings.

Nida Yasir

From her Formula One gaffe to her cringey interviews with celebrities, Nida Yasir has had many infamous moments from her show that went viral. One such incident was her tasteless lie-detector Q&A with Shabbir Jan a few years ago. The insensitive segment prompted the veteran actor to storm off the set in anger and has never returned to it since then.

Here is the viral clip.

The viral incident is forever etched in the memories of the awaam but there has been never-ending online speculation that the incident was scripted. All those rumors were recently put to rest when Shabbir Jan finally spilled the beans on the viral incident.

Nadir Ali and Shabbir Jan

The senior actor made a guest appearance on comedian Nadir Ali’s podcast on YouTube and stated that the segment was originally supposed to be a gimmick to garner TV ratings but his angry and disdain were real because Nida Yasir’s questions and antics “crossed limits”.

The Inteqam actor admitted that he has a “short-temper” and stated that he kept his cool by simply walking off the set instead of doing something rash.

Shabbir Jan expressed his opinion on the matter in Urdu and said,

Just because you invite an artiste and pay them the money for their time doesn’t mean you get to do anything with them. This shouldn’t happen.

He emphasized the need for producers to respect guest artistes on their show and that there should be a limit to what you can and cannot do with them.

The 52-year-old actor added that the ARY administration came to him after the show and apologized for what had transpired.
