From Fawad To Mahira! Pakistani Celebrities Who Are Trying To Win Bollywood With Their Charm!

By Prathibha Chandra

Apart from all the political indifferences between the neighbouring countries India and Pakistan, there exists one bond that binds them together. Bollywood!

Pakistan has always been a major follower of Bollywood movies and stars. As a result of which many young talented artists are drawn to B-Town, forming a beeline, in search of fame and recognition.

Current heartthrob Fawad Khan, hailing from Karachi, got noticed for his mesmerising performances in the Pakistani soaps Zindagi Gulzar Hai and Humsafar. Brilliant acting skills topped with extreme good looks and a golden voice, Fawad tops the list of most wanted actors of Bollywood, today.

His debut movie Khoobsurat with Sonam Kapoor, loaded him with several awards including a Filmfare, making him the first ever Pakistani actor to bag it. Playing a gay character in Karan Johar's Kapoor and Sons, Fawad proved what a sport he is, and how much he respects art. He was simply brilliant!

Equally talented and good-looking Pakistani rockstar, Ali Zafar, who debuted before Fawad, is still struggling to hang on in Bollywood. Getting noticed in his first film Tere Bin Laden, Ali's London Paris New York, Meri Brother Ki Dulhan, Chashme Baddoor and Kill Dil, did less for his career growth. With Shahrukh and Alia in his next, let's hope he gets what he wants...

Pakistani actresses, too, have tried their luck in Bollywood. Salma Agha (Nikaah), Zeba Bakhtiyar (Henna) from the past, enjoyed just a short-lived fame.

Recent, Mahira Khan, who rose to fame for her sensitive performance in the Pakistani soap Humsafar, is all set to awe us with none other than Shahrukh Khan, in her upcoming film, Raees.

Meekal Zulfikar (Baby), Mawra Hocane (Sanam Teri Kasam), Sara Loren (Murder 3) are a few other Pakistani actors who have debuted in Bollywood recently, and got noticed.
