Actor Mikaal Zulfiqar has sparked controversy after revealing that he is “half Pakistani and half white.” In a recent interview, the actor stated that his father is Pakistani, while his mother is of British and Russian descent, describing himself as “main aadha gora tha or aadha Pakistani hoon” (I am half white and half Pakistani).
The revelation has led to a heated debate on social media, with many users questioning Zulfiqar’s loyalty to Pakistan and his claim to represent the country’s entertainment industry. Some have accused him of being disconnected from the struggles of the average Pakistani and of promoting a westernized, elitist image.
Zulfiqar has since taken to social media to defend himself, stating that his mixed heritage is something to be celebrated rather than criticized.
He has also emphasized his pride in being Pakistani and his commitment to representing his country positively in the entertainment industry.
Despite this, the controversy surrounding Zulfiqar’s comments has continued to escalate, with some calling for a boycott of his upcoming projects and others defending his right to identify as he chooses.
