Adnan Siddiqui faces backlash for touching TikToker Kanwal Farooq

Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui is under scrutiny following the emergence of a video in which he is seen posing for pictures with TikToker Kanwal Farooq and placing his hand on her back.

Fans have expressed their disapproval of Siddiqui’s actions, deeming them inappropriate and unbecoming, especially given his senior status in the entertainment industry.

The video captures Adnan Siddiqui standing alongside the TikToker, dressed in a blue outfit, while Siddiqui wears a black shalwar kameez. As they pose for the camera, Siddiqui’s hand is visibly resting on the influencer’s back.

Social media users have swiftly criticized Siddiqui, with some accusing him of displaying disrespect and unprofessionalism. Others have called on senior actors to maintain appropriate boundaries with their female colleagues.

“This is entirely inappropriate behavior from Adnan Siddiqui,” remarked one user, while another commented, “Senior actors need to learn how to keep their hands to themselves. This is not acceptable behavior.”

Criticism has extended to comparisons between Siddiqui’s on-screen character and his real-life actions.

Some fans have drawn parallels between his role as Shehwar in the drama serial “Mere Paas Tum Ho” and his alleged behavior in the video, stating, “Shehwar was supposed to be a respectable man, but look at Adnan Siddiqui now. He’s no better than the character he played.”
