In a candid podcast interview with longtime friend Ahmed Ali Butt, Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan opens up about his multifaceted career, from his musical roots to his Bollywood ventures, revealing insights into his personal life and take on social media.
In a nostalgic trip down memory lane, Fawad Khan reminisces about his early days in the Pakistani media industry, emphasizing the role of music and film as an escape in the absence of social media.

Fawad also sheds light on his marriage to Sadaf in 2005, emphasizing the unpredictability of his career at the time. Reflecting on his father’s wisdom, he contemplates the connection between marriage, family, and destiny.
The actor, who gained widespread fame through the hit drama series Humsafar, shares mixed sentiments about the project, attributing its success to a combination of factors.

Transitioning to Bollywood, Fawad discusses his debut in Khoobsurat with Sonam Kapoor, highlighting that it was more of a leap of faith than strategic planning.
