Actor Fawad Khan, who enjoys a huge following in India, has shared his perspective on whether Pakistani actors pose a threat to Indian actors.
The Humsafar actor made his Bollywood debut with the 2014 film ‘Khoobsurat’ alongside Sonam Kapoor. He went on to charm audiences in films like ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Kapoor & Sons’.
The 42-year-old actor recently graced Ahmad Ali Butt’s ‘Excuse Me’ podcast, where he shared insights into his experiences working in the Indian entertainment industry.
In the podcast conversation, the host asked Fawad Khan about his substantial success in Bollywood and whether his stardom created tensions among his Indian counterparts. Fawad responded, stating it’s a challenging question but shared that he received a lot of love there.
Fawad Khan revealed a unique stance on publicity, recounting instances when his PR team wanted to boost his presence, but he preferred a low-profile approach. He expressed a belief that less visibility often sells more than constant exposure on platforms like Instagram and Facebook.
Reflecting on his experience with Khoobsurat, Fawad shared that he embraced the project without overthinking, going with the flow, and enjoying the journey. He highlighted the importance of relishing the creative process, believing that when the artist enjoys the work, it reflects in the final product. The positive synergy within the teams made these journeys memorable for him.
Regarding Kapoor & Sons, the actor emphasized its powerful storytelling, stating that creating such a film in one’s lifetime is a significant achievement. He praised the film’s enduring appeal, noting that even upon rewatching, he didn’t feel its length—an indicator of a well-crafted and engaging story.
On the work, Fawad Khan, will reunited with costars Mahira Khan and Sanam Saeed for an OTT series ‘Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo’ which is an official adaptation of Farhat Ishtiaq’s bestselling 2013 Urdu-language novel.
