Criticism Over Lack of Formal Training

Some viewers, especially younger audiences, are criticizing Fawad for judging a singing competition without formal classical training. Former playback singer Humaira Arshad also voiced her concern, arguing that only those trained in music should evaluate others’ singing talent.

Fawad Khan’s Musical Background

Many forget that before becoming a celebrated actor, Fawad Khan was actually a musician first. He was the lead vocalist of the popular Pakistani rock band Entity Paradigm (EP), a group that helped shape Pakistan’s rock scene in the early 2000s.

From Rock Star to Screen Star

Fawad’s band EP rose to fame after winning the first season of Pepsi Battle of the Bands. Hits like “Waqt,” “Hamesha,” and “Kahan Hai Tu” became youth anthems. Before his acting career took off, Fawad had performed in over 250 live concerts across Pakistan.
