Pakistani celebrities are cheering on Humayon Saeed for bagging the role of Dr. Hasnat Khan in the hit Netflix original series ‘The Crown.’ Saeed will star alongside Elizabeth Debicki who plays Princess Diana in the series.While Saeed is yet to comment on the news, it was confirmed by Variety in a report.

Pakistani celebrities took to social media to congratulate the actor on his big achievement.

Saeed’s Bin Roye co-star Mahira Khan was the first one to greet the actor.

Bulbulay actor and style icon Ayesha Omar also let Saeed know that she is “proud” of him.

Saeed has starred in numerous dramas and movies and has won several accolades for his performances. The biggest award he has received has been the Pride of Performance award by the government of Pakistan for his tremendous contributions to the Pakistani entertainment industry.

So it comes as no surprise that veteran actor Adnan Siddiqui, who also starred alongside Saeed in hit drama serial Meray Paas Tum Ho, thinks that the actor would “bring nuance to the character.”

Television personality Fakhar-e-Alam hopes that Saeed “may continue to shine brighter.”

Entertainment industry aside, the news of Saeed starring as Princess Diana’s ex-partner in The Crown has also gripped the political circle. PTI Senator Faisal Javed Khan took to Twitter to wish the actor on this milestone.
