Pakistani actor Feroze Khan is facing intense online criticism for bringing his young son, Sultan, to watch his boxing match against comedian Rahim Pardesi.

The fight, held in Lahore, ended in the fifth round with Feroze’s defeat. However, what grabbed the internet’s attention was the emotional distress his son experienced during the event. Several viral videos circulating on social media show Sultan crying inconsolably as his father endured multiple punches in the ring. In some clips, Feroze can be seen comforting his son, while Rahim Pardesi also steps in to reassure the child, calling Feroze a true winner.

The incident has sparked widespread debate, with many criticizing Feroze for exposing his young son to a violent sport. One social media user commented, “He is putting a wrong impression on a little child’s mind, showing his father getting beat up. It’s the biggest trauma he is going to carry with him.” Another wrote, “So sad, who takes kids to watch this?” Despite the backlash, Feroze’s wife and son rushed into the ring after the match to support him. His wife later expressed pride in his efforts, sharing words of encouragement on social media.

While some fans defended Feroze, saying he was simply teaching his son about resilience, others believe such an intense fight was inappropriate for a child to witness. The controversy continues to spark discussion online about parenting choices and exposure to combat sports.
