March 20, 2025 — The internet is buzzing once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to Pakistani heartthrob Farhan Saeed and his cheeky commentary on the Farshi Shalwar trend that’s taken the fashion world by storm. Known for his soulful voice and captivating on-screen presence, Saeed has now added “trend commentator” to his repertoire, leaving netizens in stitches with his latest quip.
The Farshi Shalwar, a traditional South Asian garment with roots tracing back to the Mughal era, has seen a massive resurgence lately, with celebrities like Fahad Mustafa and Falak Shabir proudly sporting the voluminous trousers. Characterized by their floor-sweeping flair and regal charm, these shalwars have become a staple for both men and women looking to blend nostalgia with modern style. But while the trend has been embraced by many, Farhan Saeed took a different route—choosing humor over haute couture. Farhan Saeed’s Witty Take on Farshi
In a recent Instagram story, Saeed dropped a one-liner that’s now making rounds across social media: “Farshi Shalwar pehno, par Farshi ego na rakho!” Translated, it means, “Wear the Farshi Shalwar, but don’t carry a floor-sized ego!” The playful jab at the trend—and perhaps at the larger-than-life attitudes that sometimes come with it—struck a chord with fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
Within hours, the comment had been shared, memed, and debated across platforms. one X user posted, while another chimed in with a laughing emoji, “This is why we stan him—savage yet classy!” Some fans even turned the quote into digital art, pairing it with caricatures of Saeed rocking an exaggerated Farshi Shalwar that comically swept entire streets.
Fashion influencers, however, had mixed reactions. “It’s refreshing to see a celebrity not just blindly follow a trend but poke fun at it,” said Lahore-based stylist Mehek Raza. “But let’s be honest, Farhan would slay the Farshi look if he tried it!” Others speculated that Saeed might secretly be planning a dramatic Farshi Shalwar debut, with one user joking, “Watch him show up to the next award show looking like a Mughal emperor just to prove a point.”
While Saeed has yet to don the trend himself, his comment has undeniably added a new layer to the Farshi Shalwar craze. The garment, once a symbol of royalty, has now become a canvas for both style and satire. As the trend continues to dominate wardrobes and conversations, one thing is clear: Farhan Saeed knows how to keep the internet entertained—whether he’s singing, acting, or throwing shade with a smile.
Will Saeed eventually give in and join the Farshi brigade? Only time will tell. For now, his words have swept the digital floor, leaving us all laughing along.
