Pakistani actor, singer, and host Ahmed Ali Butt has openly criticized Indian actor and lyricist Javed Akhtar, calling him a “stigma on art” during a recent episode of his podcast.
Ahmed Ali Butt, who is known for his versatile career in television, film, and music, expressed disappointment over Akhtar’s remarks about Pakistan. He said that despite the respect shown to Akhtar during his visit last year, the Indian artist made statements that were hurtful to Pakistan.
“Another Indian artist who has fallen from grace is Javed Akhtar. We showed him respect, yet he spoke against Pakistan,” Butt said. “I have come to the conclusion that you can’t expect respect from some people, and they don’t deserve ours. It’s like an Urdu saying: ‘Kuttay ko kheer hazam nahi hoti’ – a dog cannot digest sweet pudding. Similarly, he doesn’t deserve our respect.”
The actor added that while he generally remains composed, the disrespect shown by Akhtar warranted public criticism and trolling.
Ahmed Ali Butt has previously gained recognition for his acting in hit television shows like Gentleman and Jhooti, as well as films such as JPNA 1 & 2 and Punjab Nahi Jaungi. He currently hosts podcasts where he shares candid opinions on national and international issues, including controversial figures in the entertainment industry.
