Islamabad: Renowned Pakistani host and stand-up comedian Tabish Hashmi, known for his bold comedy style, has recently sparked controversy with a remark made during a PSL special transmission for Geo TV. Despite his popularity gained through shows like “To Be Honest” and “Hansna Mana Hai,” Hashmi often faces criticism for his controversial jokes.
In a viral clip from the PSL show, co-host Mariyam Nafees expressed her preference for Peshawar Zalmi over other teams, with Karachi Kings ranking last due to their performance. Hashmi responded with an inappropriate remark regarding Nafees’s husband, drawing immediate backlash from viewers.
Fans expressed disappointment and condemnation for Hashmi’s unprofessionalism, particularly for making personal remarks on national television. Many criticized the comedian for crossing the line of decency and urged him to show remorse rather than reveling in such behavior.
