I love every single role which I have performed. But a few are very close to my heart like 'Mastana Mahi', 'Main Abdul Qadir Hoon', and 'Aashti'.
Modeling, acting, and hosting, which one is your favorite?
I am an actor and acting is very close to my heart. I love acting because only acting brings out the best in me. Hosting is something different and that comes naturally to me. It is a simple and easy task because in it one does not portray any character. Those people who find it difficult is because they cannot speak without script. I never use script in hosting. I just go with the flow. It's very easy and I enjoy it too as I get break from acting.
Share your experience of hosting a morning show? And how is your show different from other shows?
I am doing a different show because the people I invite on my show are all common people. I hardly get celebrities on my show ever because I don't believe that one should invite celebrities everyday and talk to them. I try to solve the genuine problems of people.
Who was the biggest influence that inspired you to become an actor?
I had no such influence. My father never encourage me for acting. I wanted to be a dentist but due to certain reason I could not fulfill my dream. Then I got an offer for acting which I availed and it kick started my acting career.
What type of characters is your own personality reflected?
I have done both positive and negative roles but I cannot relate my personality to any of those characters which I have done. I am a family oriented person and do not like to be very social. Through out my life I have been a middle class person and I still want to be like that, I don't want to change myself.
What do you like about acting?
I would only say acting is fun and the best thing is I enjoy it every bit.
What factors have contributed to your success?
Success has no formula but I think hard work and support of people are the main factors.
Tell us about your upcoming projects?
I am starting a new play named 'Kankar' which is written by Umera Ahmed. Another play 'Wahshi' is in the pipeline.
