Aftab Iqbal has now hit back at Sohail Ahmed’ statements. He said that he used to be camera shy but he was a writer of the columns before he started Hasb e Haal, a show he had conceived at the time. He went on to say that Sohail is a great “actor” and an actor is nothing without a good writer and director. He added that he still respects Sohail’s prowess as an actor because this country is not making any greats in any field anymore.
