Today is the 38th birthday of Fahad Mustafa, an actor turned producer who gave us the longest-running Pakistani drama ‘Nand’ and blockbuster serial ‘Jalan’.
From his notable skills in ‘Main Abdul Qadir Hoon’, a drama based on a man’s journey of spiritual evolution to a movie ‘Actor in Law’, a socio-comedy movie, there is no role which Mustafa cannot portray.
As the actor has turned a year older today; here’s taking a look at Fahad Mustafa’s so far achievements through which he made the nation proud:
Became famous without entering Bollywood
Fahad Mustafa is one of the biggest stars of Pakistan who proved that one can become famous without proving his acting skills in India. He even once admitted in a tweet that he was offered a movie in Bollywood but he chose to work in Pakistan over India.
Remember how Om Puri was impressed by Fahad Mustafa’s talent?
Fahad Mustafa is one of the actors who worked with legendary late Bollywood actor Om Puri who was stunned by Mustafa’s acting in ‘Actor In Law’.
During the promotions of the movie, Om Puri shared how impressed he was by Fahad Mustafa: “Fahad is the diamond of Pakistan and could compete with any Bollywood actor in terms of talent.”
Fahad Mustafa’s movies are a hidden gem
Unlike ordinary movies, his starter ‘Load Wedding’ is based on the ritual of dowry and the way it affects the marriage. With his brilliant acting, his movie is a shout out to the toxic desi wedding culture in Pakistan.
His portrayal in the ‘Actor in Law’ movie was mind-blowing. His movie which starred Om Puri is based on social issues faced by many Pakistanis every day which was interestingly portrayed in a satirical way.
Became a saviour for Hindu toddler
In Ramzan, Fahad Mustafa donated half of the required amount for a three-year-old Hindu boy named Dipesh as soon as he got to know about his surgery. The cost for the bone marrow transplant amounted to Rs4 million, which was immediately half-covered by the Jeeto Pakistan host.
