Being one of Zahid’s biggest, truest fans I couldn’t be more proud of him after his recent interview to Something Haute. ❤️ He was just being reliable, good, honest, and effective and brought some much-needed bouts of honesty to social media. It’s so heartbreaking how an actor of his caliber was dragged into such dishonest appropriation of someone else’s work. 😣Never in his wildest dreams did he think that he’d be associated with a project which would be mired in a plagiarism row. You could tell he isn’t happy about it. In fact, he looked so sad and let down that he almost felt weak and tired. And my inner psychologist daresay he has anxiety issues. MTA proved to be harmful for his self-esteem and mental well-being. 💔 I love how he owned up to us about it being a copy. He could lie or make a silly or outlandish excuse as to why they did such nutty thing and tbh his fans would believe that too. But he simply chose not to. I could see unmitigated disappointment in his eyes. 🥺 I could feel it from here. He was angry, hopeless and overwhelmed by despair but didn’t try to cover it up. I could see the accumulated stress of heavy workload and frustration having an affect on his body and behavior. I could be wrong though. It could just be a mood dip which is an ordinary reaction to disappointments in life. And of course, it’s normal for anyone to feel down from time to time. We all have some difficult patches which can be triggered by almost anything. But if you compare this interview with his previous SH interview, 10 months back, you could see striking differences between both Zahids. One of which is his tone which was exciting then and grave today. I feel so sorry for him. 😔 And how he was betrayed by the makers of MTA. He is furious, and rightly so. He didn’t even want to talk about it or leave himself wide open to sympathy. He used to religiously follow his projects (even MNJ) and now he wants to distance himself from this Wednesday buffet because he thinks it’s theft which he hates. This is so wrong man. He deserves so much better. I just hope his upcoming project “Faryaad” proves to be a major breakthrough in his career and boosts his self-esteem. 🙏🏽 After everything he's been through due to MTA, he deserves to be happy, at least.
Anyways, love how he was candid, which Something Haute acknowledged. I love actors who don’t have an interest in pretending to be someone that they are not. We live in an era where there’s so much negativity and since we are constantly bombarded by lies and misdirection, it’s nice to see these outspoken pop culture fixtures who remove filters, showing a consistent and uncompromising personality. And Zahid is clearly one of them. This is someone I’d tell all my secrets to lol.
Plus, he has CATS! The way he was caressing his kitten ughh he’s so cute. 🥺😻
