Actor Sohail Sameer has issued a detailed apology after controversial scenes from his almost 10-year-old short film ‘Dosari Aurat’ were re-circulated on social media.
Sohail Sameer explained that these scenes were part of an old project and at that time he had no idea that something done in the past could come up again in the same way after many years.
The actor admitted that he should not have worked in such material. He said that the matter also forced him to think about how he would have reacted if similar material had come up regarding a member of his own family.
Admitting his mistake, he apologized to the public and said that he should not be judged on the basis of this one mistake from the past. According to him, he is trying to move forward as a person who learns from his mistakes.
It should be noted that a few days ago, an old clip of Sohail Sameer’s suspense thriller short film ‘Dosari Aurat’ went viral on social media. In the clip, the actor was seen in a close and romantic way with a female character.
This scene was objected to by social media users. Some users also questioned the fact that Sohail Sameer discusses morality and social values in various TV programs, while such a scene exists in one of his past projects.
Some users also demanded a ban on such content, however, after the actor’s apology, there was some softening in the reaction. Some users appreciated his way of admitting his mistake.
Some of Sohail Sameer’s fellow artists also defended him, saying that no one is completely free from mistakes, however, admitting his mistake and apologizing is a valuable act.
