In the widely circulated video, Akhtar quipped, \u201cThere are no bananas or guavas in paradise, which are my favorite fruits.\u201d The audience erupted in laughter, but the humor took a sharper turn when he added, \u201cThose fruits may be in hell, so I never try to go to paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remarks, delivered with Akhtar\u2019s characteristic wit, have been perceived by many as flippant and disrespectful, igniting a fierce backlash online.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time Akhtar\u2019s remarks have stirred controversy. Known for his outspoken views and frequent criticism of Pakistan, the writer has a history of polarizing statements.<\/p>\n

In a previous appearance on a program, he reportedly said, \u201cPakistanis tell me I\u2019ll go to hell, and Indians call me a jihadi, saying go to Pakistan. If I have to choose between Pakistan and hell, I\u2019ll choose hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

The resurfacing of this older comment alongside the new clip has only intensified the criticism, with many accusing Akhtar of harboring an anti-Pakistan bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
