Veteran humorist, author, and television writer Dr. Younis Butt has stirred fresh debate on social media after delivering a sharp satirical review of the ongoing drama Dr Bahu, taking aim at lead actors Kubra Khan and Shuja Asad for what he described as underwhelming performances.

Dr. Younis Butt, known for his witty social commentary and iconic television projects including Hum Sab Umeed Se Hain, Family Front, She, and Misfit, regularly shares humorous reviews and satire on his YouTube channel. His latest critique focused on Dr. Bahu, questioning the lead cast’s performances.

Commenting on Kubra Khan’s portrayal, Butt joked that she delivers “every emotion with the same expression,” adding that viewers cannot tell whether she is crying or whether “Face ID isn’t recognizing her face.” He further quipped that her lengthy pauses while delivering dialogues make dramas stretch from 26 episodes to 32 episodes.

He also mocked her dialogue delivery, saying that “every scene deserves subtitles,” before humorously claiming her strongest qualities were “staring” and “crying with perfect eyeliner.”

Shuja Asad was not spared either. Butt joked that the actor’s biggest achievement in the drama was “not being a doctor in a family full of doctors.” He added that Asad maintains nearly the same expression in every scene and compared his acting to “a weak Wi-Fi connection where reactions arrive late.”

The veteran writer also commented on director Mehreen Jabbar, saying she can turn a fast-paced story into one that feels slow and stretched over too many episodes.

The satirical review has quickly gained traction online, with clips circulating across social media platforms. While many viewers appreciated Butt’s trademark humor and agreed with some of his observations, others defended the actors and praised their performances, highlighting the subjective nature of acting and storytelling.

Neither Kubra Khan, Shuja Asad, nor Mehreen Jabbar has publicly responded to the remarks at the time of writing.
