Famous comedian Shakeel Siddiqui beaten up in India

Ask Rehaman Malik … he is going out of his way to “assure” India that action is being taken against terrorists invloved in Mumbai blasts. Already 124 people have been arrested … am sure they have seen something otherwise why did they arrest these people !!!

Pak vows to bring Mumbai attackers to justice - GEO.tv

Malik further said that 124 activists of Jamaat-ud-Dawah were nabbed including Hafiz Saeed, Mufti Abdur Rehman, Colonnel (Retd.) Nazir Ahmed, Amir Hamza and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and five camps were closed down.

Yes, unfortunately both of those statements are true.

These artists are not desperate for money, but they have to feed their kids too, like anyother working human being.

In Pakistan there is no future of art, culture or media. Reality bites.....

That's another thing that he got beaten there, and is pretty unfortunate.

Im sure an Indian would know all about Baghairty and greed... Personally I would add a number of additions to the list of Indian character flaws.

I am sure you would....but lets stick to the topic here.

Re: Famous comedian Shakeel Siddiqui beaten up in India

^ All his acts on Comedy Circus were pretty crude & crass. His remarks, especially towards female hosts and judges were downright rude & derogatory. He deserved to be beaten up for that. But this is bad !!

Re: Famous comedian Shakeel Siddiqui beaten up in India

It's unfortunate that he got beaten up.

First of all he is a human being then a Pakistani and lastly an actor. It's easier for all of us living comfortable lives abroad to pass judgement on someone living in a third world country trying to earn his living. None of us know his household situation or how many mouths he has to feed.

Ps: I am not his fan!!!

I don’t see any beating up stuff in this video. Please correct me if I am wrong. Or is it a different incident ?

Re: Famous comedian Shakeel Siddiqui beaten up in India

Does not seem like he was beaten up, only threatened and ask to leave the country…

Pak artiste flees India after MNS threatens him

Its pretty pathetic that MNS goons are allowed to take law into their own hands like this.

Re: Famous comedian Shakeel Siddiqui beaten up in India

So a handful( say 50 maximum) of fanatics can go on rampage and it will reflect on over one billion Indians? MasaAllah what a logic. Anyways I as an Indian is ashamed whatever happened with Shaqil Saheb. I tender my apology as an Indian and his fan.

Re: Famous comedian Shakeel Siddiqui beaten up in India

What has happened is typical nationalistic approach to bhai chara across the border! May I add, there is slight exaggeration in the title, he is a bit comedian in Pakistan and hardly famous. Comedy Circus might have made him famous In Hindustan (that's a different matter).

Punjabee_in_USA · January 16, 2009, 5:54pm

Re: Famous comedian Shakeel Siddiqui beaten up in India

^ If he is not famous in Pakistan, and he was not even beaten up in India (just threatened) the title is definitely misleading.

zobia · January 16, 2009, 5:55pm

why?
they are also human and they also need money to survive. besides like everyone else they also have equal rights to look for other opportunities.

zobia · January 16, 2009, 5:57pm

he is a very well known stage artist :) ...who also had worked in several TV dramas and Pakistani movies.

if you are not aware of him that doesn't mean he is not famous.

zobia · January 16, 2009, 5:59pm

beaten someone up have two meanings.

assault and severely injure someone by hitting, kicking, or punching them repeatedly. 2. abuse someone verbally.

blessed2006 · January 16, 2009, 6:01pm
