Senior Pakistani television actor and producer Syed Mohsen Gilani made headlines during an appearance on Abdul Hai Siddiqui’s digital podcast, The Blue Truth, by claiming that he is a “king of the jinn.” During the interview, Gilani stated that a jinn named “Mr. Najeeb” has been by his side for the past 12 years, a spiritual presence inherited from his ancestors that began following his father’s passing.
Addressing public misconceptions, the actor asserted that jinn do not inherently harm humans and often merely signal their presence. Beyond his supernatural claims, Gilani discussed spiritual practices, emphasizing the healing power of reciting Surah Ar-Rahman—with translation—and Surah Al-Fatihah. Observers have noted that these statements reflect the actor’s personal beliefs and spiritual experiences, which remain unverified.
