“If you see the full photoshoot, it is actually very disgusting."
Hamza Sohail’s daring photoshoot for a magazine has ignited a wave of outrage on social media.
Many individuals expressed their disapproval and labelled it as “vulgar”.
Hamza was on June’s cover of Hello Pakistan.
In one image, he is seen holding an alcoholic drink while a model is dressed in a blue sleeveless dress and heels.
Another photo shows the model massaging Hamza’s shoulders.
The front profile revealed that the blue dress featured a plunging neckline.
In a particular photo, Hamza was seated casually on a sofa, dressed in a white tank top and grey sweatpants.
Standing behind him was the model Dua Saud in a semi-sheer white shirt.
She accompanied the shirt with tight-fitting black shorts.
People have noticed that the portrayal of short dresses and the use of alcohol in photoshoots is becoming increasingly common in Pakistan.
According to them, it is mirroring trends seen in Bollywood and Hollywood.
This shift in representation has often attracted criticism towards Pakistani artists.
This is more common in instances concerning the attire of female models.
Despite the backlash, these types of photoshoots continue to be produced and published.
Hamza Sohail’s rising fame has not shielded him from the critical eye of the public, especially regarding his recent photos.
Social media platforms have been flooded with reactions to Hamza Sohail’s photoshoot.
Users have expressed their outrage, particularly targeting Dua’s outfits and the inclusion of alcohol in the imagery.
Many have condemned these elements as shameful, highlighting the cultural sensitivities and values that remain deeply ingrained in Pakistani society.
A user wrote: “He is such a two-faced person. He acts so holy in his interviews.
“And his dad who hates such things, where is he now? How is he allowing him this?”
Another added: “Where are Sohail Ahmed’s guidelines? He talks a lot about values and Islam?”
One person revealed: “If you see the full photoshoot, it is actually very disgusting.
“Naked women drinking alcohol, smoking. This is the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and this actor should be cancelled.”
Hitting out at Dua, a user said: “Why is everyone coming for Hamza? He is fully dressed. The girl should be ashamed.”
In the accompanying interview, Hamza Sohail spoke about his recognition.
He said: “It’s truly an honour to be recognised alongside so many talented actors in the industry.
“We all try to bring something different to the table, and it’s exciting to be part of this new wave of actors.
“This journey motivates me to work harder and continue contributing positively to our industry.
“I’m grateful for the experiences and opportunities that have come my way, and I’m excited about what lies ahead.”
