In a clip being circulated on social media, Mehmood Sahab (Mehmood Aslam) is seen talking to a Pathan man Sher Khan over the phone. When Khan says that he would like to come to their house and give them a gift, Nabeel jokes that the only gift he will give is either naswar or a bomb. Nabeel’s comments sparked outrage for stereotyping Pashtuns and the hashtag #BoycottARYDigital began to trend on social media.

We Pakhtoons are not terrorists nor drug dealers.
We are Patriotic Pakistanis and we respect all ethnicities. @arydigitalasia you MUST apologise immediately for portraying Pakhtoons as terrorists.

We have made more sacrifices than anyone else.#BoycottAryDigital#پشتون_بہ_منے pic.twitter.com/MrirMvbPNs

ARY making biased jokes on Pashtuns in their bullshit drama 'Bulbulay', has greatly hurt Pashtun sentiments. Such type of jokes don't make you superior or smart than others. The racial profiling of Pashtuns is utter ignorance, that leads to regional division. #BoycottAryDigital

Pakhtun are not terrorist.
If individual person is a Terrorist we can't blame the whole society.
We must acknowledge the achievements of Pathans ❤️🔥 #BoycottAryDigital pic.twitter.com/J3TgcRYHci
