Pakistani actor Danish Taimoor is facing strong backlash for his role in the drama serial “Man Mast Malang”, where repeated romantic and intimate scenes have left viewers questioning his character choices.
Background: A Promising Start in Showbiz
Danish Taimoor began his acting career in 2005 with the horror drama “Mystery Series”. Over time, he quickly rose to fame and became known as one of Pakistan’s most talented and versatile actors.
Expanding beyond television, Danish stepped into the film industry with Yasir Jaswal’s thriller film “Jalaibee” in 2015, followed by roles in “Wrong No.” (2015) and “Mehrunisa V Lub U” (2017) alongside actress Sana Javed.
Main Mast Malang: Viral But Controversial
Currently airing on Geo TV, the drama “Main Mast Malang” has become a YouTube sensation, crossing 500 million views so far. While the initial episodes received a positive response and gained a dedicated audience, recent episodes have turned controversial due to the frequent inclusion of bold and inappropriate scenes.
The story revolves around Kabir Khan (played by Danish Taimoor) and Riya Asghar Ali (played by Sehr Hashmi), who become enemies due to a tragic incident involving their families.
Bold Content and Viewer Discomfort
Danish Taimoor’s portrayal of Kabir, a deeply obsessive lover, has sparked criticism as the intensity of romantic scenes escalates. In Episode 41, a particular scene showed Kabir forcibly dancing with Riya, which was widely condemned by the audience as harassment, not romance.
In the latest episode as well, bold scenes have once again made viewers uncomfortable, pushing many to question Danish Taimoor’s professional choices.
