Oh wow, Mikaal in a BW movie 😳 He looks much younger in this.

I think he looks much more handsome now...😉

Looks like he tried his hands in BW first, even before he went on to do Pak dramas.

Do you know how if he's acted in Pak movies ??

And a very small one in Baby.

Hope he is noticed & gets some good offers in BW.

Oh this is news, he has a British mom.😛 & his 2 little girls are cute ❤️

Interesting that some of these actors ( Asad & his character's brother in YKS)

assuming they were raised outside Pakistan, chose to pursue their acting careers in Pak.

This reminds me of Shashi Kapoor, had a British wife & none of their children chose

to be an actor if I am not wrong.

Thank you Dazz 😃 for finding & sharing some interesting info.

🤗

Mikaal definitely made his debut in Pakistan and most likely got offers to act in Bollywood later. 😳 I'm sure he's worked in Pakistani movies as well before, but if he hasn't already then he has four films lined up in Lollywood for the following year. 😊 I generally find that men look much better in their 30s than they do in their 20s. Case in point would be Mishal, Fawad, Mikaal, and even Sami who are all 35 and above. 😉 I felt really sad hearing of Mikaal's recent divorce because of his two little girls. It's emotionally challenging for a child to be raised in a broken home. 💔 Whatever the situation, I wish his family the very best and that his daughters grow up in a nurturing environment. It's harder to make a mark in the West being a minority as an actor, Mish. I think it's just easier to find work in the motherland because of the diversity of scripts and characters made available on the basis of one's native proficiency. Shashi Kapoor's kids did try their hand at acting, but they all failed miserably at the box office. 😵

@ bold 1...I agree & wish he finds love again & they will be a sweet happy family once again.

His younger girl is way too cute...❤️

@ bold 2... oh had no idea & the thought did surprise me. I vaguely remember reading that

his eldest son was a model. He maybe tried acting after & never made it big.. sad

I agree! Mikaal's daughters are adorable. ❤️ Mish, have you noticed a pattern in Bollywood? The offspring of the legends in Bollywood never amass the same kind of success as their parents. Look at Amitabh/Abhishek, Jeetendra/Tusshar, Rajesh Khanna/Twinkle & Rinkie Khanna, Raj Kapoor/Randhir Kapoor, Shatrugan Sinha/Luv Sinha, Dharmendra/Bobby Deol, Shashi Kapoor/Karan & Sanjana Kapoor, Raaj Kumar/Puru Raaj Kumar, and Nutan/Mohnish Behl. These are some examples that come to my mind and I'm sure there are more that I've probably missed. I think Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Sunny Deol, and Sanjay Dutt have been the only exceptions to this pattern. Even an actor like Akshay Khanna wasn't as successful as his superstar dad. I think it's still too early to speak of Tiger's success as an actor in comparison to his father. The opposite seems to hold true for the offspring of the relatively less popular stars of the yesteryears. There hasn't been a superstar after Hrithik Roshan and his dad was far from a popular actor. Vivek Oberoi would've also reached the heights of popularity if it weren't for his infamous press conference. I still remember the response to his debut in Company! Shraddha Kapoor is the daughter of a successful villain, not a legend. 😊

I agree Dazz. I always wonder why these star kids want to follow in their parents footsteps.

I wish they would find their personal interests, passion & pursue them.

I especially feel bad for Abhishek who is overshadowed not just by his super star dad,

but his wife too. Well he does lack the talent for sure, but still it matters.

So we know in spite of all the nepotism etc...talent always speaks & is the ultimate winner

It just takes longer & lot more effort for real talent to show up, but once it does, will stay on

for long

So I had no clue about Vivek Oberoi's infamous press conference ??

When did that happen ?? I will have to search it up.
