Seasoned scriptwriter Nasir Adeeb, a close associate of legendary artist and comedian Moin Akhtar, recalled when the latter was reprimanded by his father as an adult.

Spilling some untold stories and secrets from the life of Moin Akhtar, his close friend Nasir Adeeb recounted the incident when the former’s father rebuked him after he found out that his son had started working in the showbiz as a comedian.

He shared that Akhtar’s father was very upset with him for his choice of profession and called him to punish.

“But he being his tolerant self, didn’t utter a word in his defence,” Adeeb shared.
