Arsalan Naseer points finger at Fawad Khan
Arsalan took a dig at Fawad, referring to him as “Ice Age wali gilehri”, a reference to the saber-toothed, long-snouted squirrel from Ice Age franchise with a particularly bad luck.
Arsalan took to his social media accounts – Instagram and X (formerly known as Twitter) — to take a jibe at Fawad, who worked with Vaani Kapoor in his latest project Abir Gulaal.
He wrote, “Fawad Bhai film ap ne ki…. masla border pe shuru ho gaya…. ban mai ho gaya (Fawad bhai did a film, there are tensions at the border, but I am getting banned)…. Mind na kerna lekin aap wo ‘Ice Age’ wali Gulehri hain…. (please don’t mind but you are the squirrel from Ice Age)”.
Summary:
Pak actor Arsalan Naseer jokingly blamed Fawad Khan for the Instagram ban in India, humorously comparing him to the mischievous squirrel from Ice Age.
