"Because this is what sells for the poor souls."
Fahad Mustafa has claimed that YouTubers and influencers are “polluting” the showbiz industry.
The actor said he believed that most actors were afraid of giving honest interviews now because things were quick to go viral on social media and be taken out of context.
Fahad stated: “I think that interviews should not be given.
“It’s not about whoever is taking the interview, their intention is not such.
“There are many YouTubers, bloggers – because it is their work that they need content – they, like a parasite, monitor everything, thinking about what they should pick and choose.
“Because this is what sells for the poor souls.
“If I say something good, how will it affect them? If I say something twisted, they’ll add a strange headline and run it.
He revealed that it was because of this that the entertainment industry had suffered as a consequence.
Fahad continued: “I think there are about six to seven people due to whom the industry has been polluted, things are quite bad.
“Your actors are scared, your people don’t want to say anything.
“I don’t think this is a healthy environment. You have become, in the name of tolerance, quite intolerant yourself.”
