India has caught a case of Fawad fever. Pakistan's most handsome has quickly become India's most dearly loved too. Playing a Rajasthani prince opposite Sonam Kapoor in his Bollywood debut, we caught up Fawad Khan on turning modern day prince charming in the aptly titled Khoobsurat.
When Khoobsurat was offered to you, what made you want to sign on?
Firstly I feel it is necessary in life to gain as much exposure as possible. Exposure comes with travelling, meeting new people and working with new people. This is my first experience of working outside my comfort zone of familiar faces. I thought maybe now I am ready to accept that challenge. Earlier on I felt that I have to make a mark, a name for myself within the territory I was situated in. Secondly AKFC (Anil Kapoor Film Company) especially Rhea has a very good sense of aesthetics and that is difficult to come by, because it is not everyone's forte. In taking any product, irrespective of what class or walk of life it is associated across to audiences you need to have that aesthetic sensibility. At the end of the day it is an experience which you share with the audience and you want to make sure visually, it is as good an experience as possible. Thirdly it is the first Disney release coming out from this part of the world and to be a part of such a first is a great achievement and accomplishment.
The original Khubsoorat was made in 1980. What is the Khoobsurat of 2014 like?
It draws inspiration and coincidently shares similarities with but is quite different from the original. It is a reinvention, a fresh take on a similar situation. Ultimately what defines the film is it takes on the identity of a Disney fairytale. That in itself sets it apart from the original Khubsoorat. I feel we are always in the process of trying to reinvent the wheel but invention of the wheel in this day and age is difficult. It is more about how you attempt to go about it. The stories remain the same, the characters are similar; the presentation, narration and packaging changes.
How did you go about playing a modern day prince charming?
It was interesting to be haughty and stiff. Today's prince charming is totally different than that of yesteryears. Nowadays when you take on a role like this you place it in more believable circumstances. The prince of today would go to the same university as people from different walks of life, have a great deal of exposure but would come back to a structured way of life where he has to assume the persona of royalty. He is disciplined and ambitious but he is human as well. It is fun as an actor where you can play around with the character deviating between the two. I referred to Shashank (director) and he helped me in overcoming the difficulty of adjusting myself to the character. A Rajasthani prince is not something I ever imagined I would play. The inspirations I tried to put together to design the character were Pretty Women's Richard Gere, Lamhe's Anil Kapoor and The Sound of Music's Christopher Plummer.
What was the bonding like with Sonam?
She is a great co-star, human being and host. She is a completely chilled out, relaxed person. There is a great deal of resemblance between the character she plays and what she is actually like in real life. If you see how fun loving her character is, you can imagine how she must be in reality. She keeps up that high level of energy on set.
Sonam coined the phrase Fawad Fever.' How do you feel about it and the adoration showered upon you by your female fan following?
Oh god. I am flattered, I am floored and I am humbled. It helps the cause of an actor tremendously, obviously. I always blush at the mention of this. I consider myself to be an average guy to be very honest. I am speechless, what more can I say.
What is the state of affairs of present day Pakistani cinema?
It is a very exciting time. This is the second wave wherein the rebirth of Pakistani cinema is concerned. It is bringing about a positive change. Pakistani cinema is expanding and evolving I feel. What we have seen come out in the past year or so and the frequency with films are releasing in an industry where one release in a year was difficult is promising. Recently we have had about 7 or 8 films release consecutively. I was speaking with a journalist friend and he informed me there are about forty films going into post production and planning. I am very proud of how we are hitting it with full force now. The initial phase would allow for the industry to settle down first, make it functional before propelling forward. Judging from the success of the films amongst the local audience and to some extent the expat audience, the investment into Pakistani cinema will increase in the years to come. Filmmakers in Pakistan have made appropriate use of the tools available to them. It is shaping to be an exciting time for Pakistani cinema and I would love to be a part of it.

This is so cute...Got from twitter again.
so after the release of khoobsurat ... a bunch of people have speculated these rumors about the kissing scene in the movie which was censored n was not even in the film in pakistani theaters ... people were so desperate to see what actually happened that they actually hunt down the internet n made it viral on FB by saying it was a real kiss ...
So my friend .. do not forget one thing before speculating such rumors that the guy u are talking about is THE FAWAD AFZAL KHAN .. he has been given the title of "THE GENTLEMAN" by his co-star
and also u are not paying him tht he shld be afraid of admitting the fact if he had ever kissed in real ...
i have sd this before also n i am saying this again
THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN SHOWING A KISSING SCENE AND DOING A KISSING SCENE
khoobsurat showed us a kissing scene ... and even a dumb fellow can tell you tht it was nt a real one ... and when Fawad made it clear tht they did not kiss but played around with it ...makes it even more clear ...
thats one point
now the second point is he is the same man who proposed his wife at the age of 17 ...
he is the same man who he is head over heals in love with his wife
he is the same man who has not missed a single interview in india in which he has not mentioned his wife n his love for his wife
so that automatically shows us how loyal a husband he is ...
and lastly to all those who think that the kiss was real i have something to say to you guys
FAWAD KHAN PROVED THAT HE IS A BLOODY GOOD ACTOR ... BEACUSE HE MADE A FAKE KISS LOOK REAL ...
and also please stop acting like "dudh k dhukay hoye bachy"
as if no1 has ever watched any kissing scene in a bollywood movie ...
the sadest part is indians were not even bothered about this scene they just praised the chemistry between sonam n fawad
its us pakistaniz who are leaving no stone unturned ... kisi trha to fawad ko necha dhikaen hum ... he acted really well in the movie .. he was immensly loved in india ... he maintained his dignity n did everything with decency ... kahin to pakren fawad ko ...
seriously we all need to get a life ... u liked the scene cool u din't like the scene move on ...
HE IS OUR MAN ... HE BELONGS TO US ... AND WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE TRYING TO PUT HIM DOWN BY ANY POSSIBLE WAY .. LETS JUST APPRICIATE HIS EFFORTS N HIS WORK IN KHOOBSURAT .. HE HAS MADE US PROUD .. I AM PROUD OF FAWAD KHAN
and lastly
FAWAD KHAN DID A KISSING SCENE BUT HE DID NOT KISSED IN REAL ... IT WAS JUST A CAMERA ANGLE #peace
