Twitterverse was quick to draw a parallel between Samaa’s interview and that of Junaid Akram’s
Yesterday i watched the podcast of Junaid Akram with Nasir Khan Jan and believe me or not it changed my whole perception related to him.
Yes he makes videos just to entertain us and never tried to spread hate like Sham idrees and other YouTubers.

And without a doubt, it was a dialogue done respectfully.
Mainstream media has lost it. These buffoons think they can get away with anything for ratings.
In contrast, Junaid Akram did a wonderful interview with him.https://t.co/bbG71u76rB

This is not the first time that personalities have been targeted by hosts on the show.
In 2016, Aamir Liaquat came under fire after he humiliated the ‘Eye to Eye’ singer, Taher Shah on his Ramadan show.
A year later, Aamir also faced backlash for inviting Meera and mocking her live on television.
