Dr Affan Qaiser has emerged as one of Pakistan’s most influential doctors and digital creators, with a remarkable social media following of nearly 5 million. Known for his awareness-driven videos on viral and trending topics, he has carved a unique space for himself online. Beyond short videos, he also runs a YouTube channel where he regularly hosts podcasts, often alongside his wife, Dr Nazish, making him a trusted figure in both health communication and digital media.

The RTS with 24 Plus Podcast Appearance

Recently, Dr Affan Qaiser was invited to the RTS with 24 Plus podcast, where he addressed the ongoing discourse surrounding social media personalities. Among the topics discussed, his comments on Iqra Kanwal and her family drew particular attention.

Addressing His Views on Iqra Kanwal

Speaking candidly, Dr Affan clarified that his differences with Iqra Kanwal’s content are not personal but ideological. He revealed that he was among the first to congratulate her family when Areeb, her husband, became a father. However, he expressed concern about their frequent display of private family life on public platforms. According to him, even some of their own relatives have raised objections, arguing that such practices cross the boundaries of privacy.

Concerns Over Content and Controversies

Dr Affan went on to highlight his objections to certain promotional practices, specifically pointing to binary trading endorsements. He believes that such endorsements set the wrong precedent for younger generations. While he emphasized that accountability is necessary, he also suggested that there should be room for corrective measures rather than outright condemnation.

Call for Regulation and Responsible Content

In his discussion, Dr Affan stressed the importance of regulating content to protect individual privacy. He firmly opposed the idea of filming personal spaces such as bedrooms, urging PEMRA to take steps to implement clear boundaries for digital creators.

Clarifying His Intentions

Dr Affan openly admitted that awareness videos naturally bring him views, but he rejected the idea that his sole motive is personal publicity. He shared an example of regretting a past video about watermelon vendors after realizing that the source material was misleading. This, he noted, reflects his ongoing effort to ensure that his content serves a meaningful purpose rather than chasing viral attention.
