Are Pakistani Actors A Threat To Bollywood Stars? Fawad Khan Has THIS To Say
Fawad Khan on being a threat to Bollywood actors: Pakistani actor Fawad Khan is an iconic star who not only commands a huge fan following in his own country but also in India.
The actor has etched a firm name in the entertainment industry with some stellar performances in famous dramas like Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. He recently spoke about the experience he had while working in Bollywood and the love he got from fans.
Fawad Khan if he was a threat to Bollywood actors
During his appearance on Ahmad Ali Butt's YouTube channel, the 42-year-old actor was asked to share his views on whether his presence in the Hindi film industry was seen as a threat. The actor replied, saying that his public relations representatives often used to argue with him, telling him about how 'visible' he needed to be.
The host asked, "You've made a lot of friends in India, but it came to the point where you were being compared to the big names. Did it p**s off a lot of the big dogs? Ali Zafar, Mahira Khan and you were being offered lead roles in one of the biggest industries in the world. Do you think it happened too soon for you in order to become a threat?"
Responding to him, Fawad said, "How would I know, man?" Further, when he was nudged, the actor said in Urdu, "That's such a heavy question. I got a lot of love from India. But look, every industry has its politics. In Pakistan as well. But it's easier to combat the politics in your industry because it is your own."
"I'm not saying it (the industry politics) is unheard of, I'm sure it happens everywhere. But there was one thing, if I talk about threat or no threat - I had PRs, and they used to get angry at this... I was like, 'I need you to take out my name, not put it in there'," he added.
He concluded by saying, "I would ask my PR, 'You are here just to remove me from places, not put me'. My manager, who is my good friend now, would say, 'No, You don't know how the world works'. I said, 'I don't want to do Instagram, Facebook, I don't want to do all these things.' But she would say 'That is the norm!'"
