"I wish I was British Asian actor Ahsan Khan"
Ahsan Khan’s 4-year-old clip has once again come to life, as the #BritishAsian hashtag started to appear on Twitter’s trending list.
After the internet was taken over by memes of Ahsan’s interview in which he describes himself as a “British-Asian actor mostly working from Pakistan”, the actor has taken to social media to poke fun at himself.
Ahsan Khan was in London for the International Pakistan Prestige Awards, where he received the ‘Star Of The Year’ award and spoke in multiple media interviews.
He voiced several excellent observations, and many people appreciated what he said about Pakistan’s growing drama industry.
The BBC also covered the ceremony, questioning PEMRA’s ruling regarding Pakistan’s productions being “too bold”.
Ahsan Khan stressed the importance of using shows to address Pakistani moral codes and cultural challenges.
He highlighted how there should be a clear distinction between exaggeration and depicting reality.
Besides the appreciation the actor received, netizens could not resist noting something unusual about his accent during these interviews.
The forced British accent had the internet roaring with laughter, with the four-year-old video recently resurfacing on the internet.
One user wrote: “You know who Bridgerton needs to cast for their next season?
“British Asian actor Ahsan Khan, who works here and there as well.”
