In a surprising revelation, Pakistani actor Tauqeer Nasir has claimed that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan copied his role from the drama “Parwaaz” in the 2006 film “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.” Nasir also accused the film’s director, Karan Johar, of not giving him the credit he deserves.
Tauqeer Nasir’s Allegations
In an interview on the YouTube channel “Zabardast With Wasi Shah,” Nasir shared his thoughts on the striking similarities between his role in “Parwaaz” and Shah Rukh Khan’s character in “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.” He mentioned, “Shah Rukh’s role in the film was a direct copy of my character from the drama ‘Parwaaz.’ Even the detail of an injured leg, depicted in the film, was borrowed from my portrayal in the drama.”
The Story Behind the Drama
Nasir revealed that “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna” was essentially based on the story of “Parwaaz,” written by the renowned author Mustansar Hussain Tarar. He expressed his frustration that neither he nor the original author received any acknowledgment for their work. “Shah Rukh Khan is a talented actor, but it’s disappointing to see the lack of recognition for my contribution,” Nasir stated.
Acknowledgment from Shah Rukh Khan
Despite his disappointment, Nasir mentioned that Shah Rukh Khan had often praised his work and sent his regards through various people. However, Nasir felt that this appreciation did not translate into formal recognition or credit for his role and the drama that inspired the film.
Karan Johar’s Role
Nasir also pointed a finger at Karan Johar, the director of “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,” for not acknowledging the original work that inspired the film. He believes that both Johar and Khan should have given credit where it was due, to him and to Mustansar Hussain Tarar.
Conclusion
The allegations by Tauqeer Nasir highlight an ongoing issue in the entertainment industry regarding the recognition of original creators. While Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar have not yet responded to these claims, the conversation brings to light the importance of giving proper credit to original works and their creators.
