Fahad Sheikh says viral clip taken out of context, apologises to senior actor Mohammed Ahmed

Actor Fahad Sheikh has issued a public apology to veteran actor Mohammed Ahmed, saying viral video circulating on social media that allegedly showed bullying on a drama set was taken out of context and led to widespread misinformation. In a statement shared on Instagram, Sheikh apologised to Ahmed and announced that he intends to pursue legal action against those who circulated the edited clip, alleging it was deliberately used to mislead the public. "Half-cooked stories are always dangerous because they create a single narrative.

What seems like 'bullying' was not the case to begin with. On set, we don't work as co-actors; we bond like a family that laughs together, eats together and shares grievances," he wrote.

I hope you don't hold any grudges against me because I would never think of insulting my seniors under any circumstances." The actor stressed that this was not his first collaboration with Ahmed. "I have worked with Ahmed sir on many projects, and we shared a bond where we laughed and had a good time on set. I don't know at what point the joke, which he initiated himself, made him feel like we were bullying him because that was never anyone's intent."

I apologised to him long before this entire issue gained attention. He is my elder, and I have no hesitation in apologising publicly as well." Reflecting on his career, Sheikh said he had worked with many senior actors over the past 11 years and learned a great deal from them. Concluding his statement, he announced, "Legal action is being initiated against parties who circulated out-of-context video material to deliberately mislead the public."

Without initially naming anyone, he alleged that a younger co-star had made personal remarks about his appearance while they were filming a drama. Following the interview, Ahmed received widespread support from colleagues across the entertainment industry.
