Let’s hand it to the svelte Humaima Malik for speaking her mind. How many artists in our country can stick their necks out and say who the most overrated actor on TV is? Not many.

Last week Humaima M appeared as a guest on one of the countless morning shows. During the chitchat the host unleashed rapid fire questions on her (what an original idea, not at all taken from Koffee with Karan). One of the questions was about the most overrated actor and actress in Pakistan, to which Humaima M named, without thinking twice, Faisal Qureshi and Ayesha Khan! Anyone can disagree with Humaima M’s choice, although you have to give a pat on her back for being a straight-shooter.
