LAHORE -UNS: Celebrities are rallying behind Fawad Khan after recent criticism regarding his role as a judge on Pakistan Idol.
Fawad is on the panel alongside Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Bilal Maqsood, and Zeb Bangash, yet his inclusion has stirred debate.
The controversy began after former playback singer Humaira Arshad questioned Fawad’s qualifications to judge aspiring singers.
According to Humaira, selecting judges based solely on popularity or sponsorship appeal undermines the credibility of a platform.
She added that evaluating musical skill requires years of learning, deep technical knowledge, and an understanding of tone and technique.
Her comments quickly gained traction online, dividing public opinion and prompting several artists to speak up in Fawad’s defence.
Many pointed out that the actor first rose to fame as the lead vocalist of the legendary rock band Entity Paradigm, better known as EP.
