Mohsin Abbas Haider Calls for Action Against Drug Use in Showbiz Industry

Pakistani actor, singer, and writer Mohsin Abbas Haider has spoken out about the issue of drug use in the entertainment industry, urging authorities and production houses to take strict action against artists who arrive on set under the influence of narcotics.

In a recent interview with a private television channel, Mohsin Abbas Haider discussed what he described as a serious but often overlooked problem within the showbiz industry. According to him, some actors and directors allegedly come to work while intoxicated, which negatively affects both the quality of work and the professional environment on set.

The actor revealed that he had previously shared his views on social media, stating that artists or directors who report to work under the influence of drugs should face bans or disciplinary action. He said his comments sparked immediate attention from a production team he was working with at the time, who contacted him to ask whether his remarks were directed at a specific individual.

Mohsin stated that when the production team mentioned a particular person, he confirmed his concerns. He added that the management assured him the matter would be reviewed and addressed appropriately.

Recalling one incident, the actor claimed that a fellow artist appeared to be in such a condition during filming that maintaining normal eye contact and communication became difficult. He said the situation disrupted the production process and affected the overall working atmosphere.

The actor emphasized that harmful habits should not be encouraged in any professional field, especially in an industry that influences millions of people. He noted that after raising the issue, the relevant production company took notice and implemented necessary measures to deal with the situation.

While Mohsin Abbas Haider has criticized substance abuse in the entertainment industry on several occasions in the past, he did not name any actor or actress during his latest interview. As a result, the claims remain unverified and have not been independently confirmed.

His comments have reignited discussion about workplace professionalism, accountability, and the importance of maintaining a safe and productive environment within Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
