Pakistani
actor
Fawad
Khan
says
as
much
as
he
is
excited
about
his
hit
TV
drama
'Humsafar'
premiering
on
Indian
television,
he
is
also
nervous
about
audience's
reaction
to
the
show
and
hopes
it
lives
up
to
the
hype
surrounding
it.
The
23-episode
drama
is
touted
as
the
highest-rated
Pakistani
TV
serial
ever
and
has
acquired
a
fan-following
in
the
country.
The
serial
also
received
praise
for
Fawad's
performance
and
his
on-screen
chemistry
with
co-star
Mahira
Khan.
"I
have
seen
the
promos
of
'Humsafar'
on
Zindagi
and
I
am
thankful
to
all
those
who
have
loved
the
show
before
and
who
are
waiting
for
it
now
becuase
the
show
is
special
to
me.
But
I
am
also
scared
about
its
outcome
here,
I
just
hope
it
fares
well
and
people
like
it.
I
have
mixed
feelings
about
it," Fawad
told
PTI.
The
32-year-old
actor
is
making
his
Bollywood
debut
with
upcoming
Sonam
Kapoor-starrer
'Khoobsurat',
which
is
the
remake
of
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee's
1980
film
of
the
same
name.
Fawad,
who
has
already
charmed
the
Indian
audience
with
his
performance
in
Pakistani
TV
show
'Zindagi
Gulzar
Hai',
says
though
the
drama
has
given
him
a
fan
base
here,
it
has
also
put
the
pressure
of
fans' expectations.
It
is
true
that
'ZGH'
has
given
me
a
foot-hold
in
the
industry
and
people
like
me
before
my
film
has
released.
This
is
an
advantage
but
it
can
be
a
disadvantage
too
because
now
people
expect
a
certain
performance
from
me.
So,
that
adds
to
the
pressure.
I
just
hope
they
like
me
in
'Khoobsurat'
as
much
as
they
liked
me
in
the
show," Fawad
said.
Khoobsurat,
directed
by
debutant
Shahshank
Ghosh
and
produced
by
Anil
Kapoor
will
release
on
September
19,
this
Friday.
