Yasir Hussain misses 'when people had a sense of humour,' shares LSA throwback

Raheal Rao shares an old clip of a segment with Ayesha Omar

While the entertainment industry gears up for the upcoming Lux Style Awards, some popular showbiz attendees are getting nostalgic over past runs of the show, namely, editor of a popular magazine Raheal Rao and actor Yasir Hussain, who “revisit the hilarity of [the] LSA 2015’s comedy act” starring Hussain and Ayesha Omar.

With this year’s award show spectacle just around the corner, Hussain shared a throwback video posted by Rao to his Instagram. He wrote in his Instagram Stories, "When people had some sense of humour," highlighting the issue comics take over with the growing culture of political correctness world over.

The nostalgia-inducing clip sees Hussain and Omar take the stage as a gossip-mongering makeup artist and an A-list celebrity. Sharing the video from 2015, Rao writes, “Revisit the hilarity of this LSA 2015’s comedy act, scripted and featuring Yasir Hussain as Honey, the makeup artist, and Ayesha Omar as his star friend and muse. It’s one of my favourite acts, so side-splitting that it will leave you in stitches, even after the sands of time have slipped away.”

The video clip features a segment where Hussain – or Honey – take to the stage in an excited fervour to meet stars from the industry, asking his friend Omar to introduce him to popular names in a wish to do their makeup. Poking fun at his own costume, Hussain jokes that the sherwani he is wearing is a special gift from Munib Nawaz’s home curtains, going on to joke about how Omar was comparable to Mahira Khan in her film Karachi Se Lahore, stating “There are no friendships in media, only warships.”

The actor pokes fun at multiple names in the segment, namely Aqib Ilyas, Abid Ali, Tapu Javeri, Meera, HSY, Aijaz Aslam, Ahsan Khan, and Mehwish Hayat, amongst others.
