KARACHI – Renowned veteran actor Nauman Ijaz has stirred a conversation regarding industry politics, claiming that his son, Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz, is currently navigating a difficult phase in his career due to “resentment” held against him by certain industry figures.
In a recent candid interview, the legendary star revealed that the obstacles Zaviyar is facing are not necessarily due to his own performance, but rather a byproduct of Nauman’s own professional history.
Key Highlights from the Disclosure:
Nauman Ijaz stated that certain influential people in the industry are holding onto grudges because he refused to work with them in the past.
He suggested that since these individuals can no longer affect his established career, they are allegedly taking out their frustration on his son.
The veteran actor noted that Zaviyar is currently going through a challenging period as a result of these behind-the-scenes politics.
Industry Politics or Meritocracy?
The revelation has sparked a debate among fans and industry insiders. While Zaviyar entered the industry with the spotlight that comes with being a “star kid,” Nauman’s comments suggest that being the son of a legend comes with a unique set of disadvantages—specifically, inheriting your parents’ professional enemies.
The situation raises a critical question for the Pakistani entertainment industry: Is Zaviyar being unfairly targeted, or is this simply the standard operating procedure of “industry politics” that every newcomer must face?
Karachi Fact asks its readers: Do you think Zaviyar is being unfairly sidelined because of his father’s past decisions? Or is the “nepotism” label making him an easy target for criticism?
