He admitted that he wasn't initially drawn to the story
Fawad Khan recently shared his thoughts on the hit drama, Humsafar, revealing that he rejected the show twice.
During a podcast featuring Fawad, Ahmed Ali asked him about his decision to do the popular drama.
The conversation delved into Fawad’s initial reluctance. He also candidly shared his thoughts on what finally convinced him to take on the project.
Fawad Khan responded honestly by saying that it was primarily the paycheck that motivated him.
He admitted that he wasn’t initially drawn to the story, finding it similar to many other dramas at the time.
Fawad expressed that he had a desire to explore something different and unique.
He further revealed that when the script for Humsafar came his way, he declined the offer not once, but twice.
However, director Momina Duraid’s persistence eventually convinced him to reconsider and take on the role.
Despite his initial reservations, Fawad acknowledged the impact that Humsafar had on his career. He stated that he owes a lot to the drama.
However, he also made it clear that if given the choice, he wouldn’t do it again.
The comments made by Fawad Khan have sparked mixed opinions among the drama’s fans.
While some agree with his sentiments, understanding his desire for something different, others believe that Fawad should show gratitude.
They claim that his role in Humsafar is the reason that he rose to fame.
Besides this, these days Fawad Khan is also facing backlash for his role in the Bollywood film, Kapoor and Sons.
It seems like netizens are taking a stab at him for apparently preferring his role in the Indian film to the one in Humsafar.
One user commented: “He was okay with a homosexual role in a Bollywood film but he’s not happy with the role that made him famous, what is up with him???”
Another said:
“Pakistani celebrities need to stop putting down the dramas that made them famous it is nonsense.”
One wrote: “So that something different he wanted was a homosexual role?”
However, a lot of fans are appreciating Fawad Khan for being honest about how he felt about Humsafar.
One said: “I totally agree with Fawad, Humsafar was very toxic.”
Fans claim that at the end of the day, it’s his decision. They accept that he is allowed to have an opinion on the things he has done.
