Pakistani actor Moammar Rana, known for his Bollywood debut in Dobara (2004), is facing severe backlash on social media due to his recent racist, misogynistic and derogatory remarks targeting actors Priyanka Chopra and Ameesha Patel. Rana appeared as a guest on comedian and YouTube personality Nadir Ali’s podcast, where he made offensive comments about Priyanka’s appearance, claiming his crush on her vanished after seeing her without make-up.

During the podcast, when Ali asked Rana to name someone ‘bhayanak’ (horrible) in the Pakistani film industry, Rana replied that no one fits that description in the industry. However, when Ali inquired about the Indian film industry, Rana shared an incident where he failed to recognise Priyanka Chopra. He recounted, “This happened to me when I saw Priyanka Chopra. I didn’t know, we were sitting (at an event). A woman came and sat on the side. We were talking amongst ourselves. I moved forward and backward, wondering where I should go. After a while, she got up and left. I inquired about who she was.”

Ali interjected and asked if she was a domestic help. Rana continued, “The person I asked told me, ‘You didn’t recognise her?’ I said no. Turns out, it was Priyanka Chopra who was seated. My whole crush on her…” He mimicked a facepalm gesture, suggesting his crush vanished at that moment.

Rana’s offensive comments didn’t end there. He proceeded to praise Ameesha Patel for her looks and referred to her as a genuine beauty. When Ali asked him what he liked about Ameesha, Rana responded by complimenting her facial features. However, Ali seized the opportunity to make a misogynistic comment about Ameesha. Rana laughed and retorted, “Do I have to tell you everything?”

The exchange between Rana and Ali sparked outrage among social media users. Many shared the video and criticised the duo for their distasteful and regressive remarks. A user tweeted, “Nadir Ali & his equally vile guest Moammar Rana made deeply offensive rac1st & elitist comments on Priyanka Chopra comparing her to a ‘maid’ owing to her complexion. Domestic workers are beautiful, Ms. Chopra is an achiever but the minds of these 2 failed men are HORRIBLY UGLY.”

Another user pointed out that Rana is the father of two daughters and expressed disappointment. He wrote, “And what’s the saddest part that made me angry the most? Moammar Rana is father of 2 daughters. Nadir Ali tu chalo hai hi aik gone case but I was seriously not expecting this from Moammar Rana who actually belongs from a very good family background.”
