Eijaz Khan Speaks Out After Being Mistaken for Controversial Actor Ajaz Khan: “I’ve Spent a Lifetime Earning Respect”

Television and web series actor Eijaz Khan, known for his powerful roles in shows like Kkavyanjali, City of Dreams, and Bigg Boss 14, has issued a strong statement calling out media negligence after being repeatedly mistaken for controversial figure Ajaz Khan. Speaking at a store launch event in Mumbai, Eijaz expressed his deep frustration with the repeated misidentification that he says is affecting both his personal life and professional reputation.

 

“My name is Eijaz Khan, let me spell it for you—E-I-J-A-Z,” the actor clarified to reporters, visibly agitated. “Every morning, I read an article claiming I’ve done something I haven’t. Even my father gets calls about it. I’ve worked for decades to earn my respect and dignity. Because of one careless mistake, it gets tarnished.” Eijaz took the opportunity to urge journalists to double-check facts and visuals before publishing, especially when the consequences of misinformation are this personal.

 

The confusion stems from recent controversy involving Ajaz Khan, a former reality TV contestant known for his run-ins with the law and now embroiled in legal trouble over his vulgar web show House Arrest on Ullu App. Several media outlets reportedly used Eijaz Khan’s image or tagged him incorrectly in reports surrounding the incident, prompting backlash from fans and colleagues in the industry who know the difference between the two artists.

 

While Eijaz has long enjoyed a respectable career with critically appreciated performances in Yeh Moh Moh Ke Dhaagey, Halala, and other projects, he now finds himself battling public misconceptions due to sloppy journalism. His candid comments serve as a reminder of the real-world consequences of digital misinformation, and the responsibility media holds in preserving—not damaging—reputations built over a lifetime.
