That's Fawad for you - ever the gentleman. It's not easy to get him worked up over something but mention the conspiracy theories that abound in Pakistan over the Indians' agenda of not letting actors from across the border prosper in Bollywood and you get to see a hint of ire simmering beneath the surface.

"This is utter nonsense. Just look at the Indian market, its huge! And Bollywood caters to just one segment of the population; India has so many regional film industries, and successful ones at that. Actors often don't cross over yet are superstars in their own right. In such a vast market, actors from Pakistan make up one tiny percentage. Do you really think people care enough to go after them? Are we that important? I'm afraid not. How can we be so pompous as to assume we deserve that kind of attention where people want to bring us down?"

"Personally, I never felt I was treated any differently because of my nationality during my time in Bollywood. In fact, we all lived like a close-knit family," he continues. "Indians have a code of hospitality that is very strong and they went out of their way to make me feel at home."
