On Tuesday, Osman Khalid Butt proved once again why he's not just a brilliant actor but also the undisputed king of Instagram banter. In a post that had nothing to do with his frequent collaborator Hania Aamir, a fan from Sukkur left an adorably misdirected comment: "Hania, I am a great fan of yours from Sukkur. May God always keep you happy and safe. But you never reply to me, so I'm upset."
Osman's deadpan response was priceless: "Sheeraz, from which angle am I looking like Hania to you?" Cue the internet collapsing with laughter.
The mix-up sparked a flurry of amused reactions, with fans jumping in to play along. Several commented, "Osman and Hania should work together. They will make an amazing couple," while others chimed in with, "They would look absolutely stunning together!" One fan hilariously commented, "Sheeraz is angry with Hania, thus he's not saying this directly to her."
The exchange followed Osman's birthday post earlier this week. Osman, who turned 39 in February, shared a heartwarming family celebration on Monday. Pampered with two cakes, he posed with a wide smile, captioning the photo in French with his birth date. Celebrity friends poured in with wishesUsman Mukhtar, Simi Raheal, and Zara Noor Abbas (who called him "Malik Shahzain") all joined in.
Fans flooded the comments with compliments and thoughtful tributes. One wrote, "Your passion, dedication, and kindness have inspired me in ways you'll never know." Another joked, "Two cakes? A poetic balance of depth and comedyjust like you!"
Osman's quick wit and Sheeraz's earnest (if slightly confused) fan love made for the perfect Instagram momentreminding us all that sometimes, the internet really is the best place for accidental comedy.
Moral of the story? Double-check the username before you pour your heart outand never underestimate Obi's clapback game.
