Controversy
A week before the release of telefilm, Hussain became a victim of trolls and news when he commented offensive words against LGBT community on his Instagram account. He posted a promo picture of telefilm where he was wearing a Saree as it was the requirement of his role in the project. The fan commented Why dont you guys hire an actual transgender?, to which Hussain replied, matlab apko job chahye (English: "Means, you want this role"). Many people criticize this act of Hussain and find it offensive. Reviewer from 'The Express Tribune' called this as transphobic act to which Hussain said, "I have immense regard for transpersons". He further said that people misunderstood his role as he was playing a role of a mother not a transgender in the project.
