No smooching! Zaid Ali T says “no” to Hollywood

Canadian-born Pakistani internet star Zaid Ali T, known for his comical videos on desi attitudes, declined an offer to play a role in a Hollywood movie, private media reported.

On his Facebook page, Youtube sensation Zaid said, “Today is a very huge day for me. Today, I was offered a role in a Hollywood movie. Yes, a Hollywood movie. Unfortunately, I had to say “no” to the role because there was a kissing scene in the movie and I could never imagine myself doing something like that.”

With over 147,000 Twitter followers, the young star, in a very short time, received acclamation all over the globe by uploading videos which comically pointed out differences between ‘desi’ and ‘white’ people.

Almost four years on, the Zaid has over two million likes on his Facebook page and over one hundred videos on his YouTube channel.

“Being true to yourself and your morals is one of the best feelings and it shows that you have achieved something in your life. Insh’Allah there’s something better written for me, maybe not. But I am very happy with my decision,” Zaid posted on his Facebook page.
