Ali Raza, the rising star of Pakistani dramas, found himself at the centre of a hilarious yet controversial moment when veteran actress Atiqa Odho publicly roasted his unbuttoned-shirt look in the drama Dastak. The spicy commentary aired during the show Kya Drama Hai, where Odho didn’t hold back about Ali Raza’s grooming—or lack thereof.
During her appearance alongside Marina Khan and Nadia Khan, Atiqa Odho pointed out how Ali Raza’s wardrobe choices, specifically his partially unbuttoned shirts revealing a “hairy chest,” felt inappropriate for a family drama. She joked, “It’s not at all necessary to show a hairy chest on screen,” and even offered to take him to a salon, quipping, “Please, do wax your chest!”
The remarks quickly went viral, with Ali Raza Dastak searches spiking across platforms as netizens dived into the debate. Some cheered Odho for addressing the gender double standards in the entertainment industry—after all, female actors are often restricted to long sleeves and conservative styling, while male actors seem to enjoy more leeway.
Odho made it clear she wasn’t anti-modern fashion. “Wear disco jackets if you like,” she said, “but let’s set some boundaries for family TV.” Marina Khan chimed in, naming Shamoon Abbasi as another actor known for similar styling.
So far, Ali Raza hasn’t issued a public response, which has only amplified the buzz. Screenshots from Dastak showcasing his chest-bearing outfits are now meme material.
This Ali Raza Dastak drama turned grooming advice into a full-blown cultural conversation. Whether you think Atiqa Odho was brutally honest or just hilariously bold, one thing’s certain: chest hair in Pakistani dramas is now officially trending—and not just on screen.
