Fawad Khan, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming show Barzakh, recently opened up about his relationship with stardom in an interview with Mid Day. The show marks his reunion with actor Sanam Saeed after a 12-year gap. In the interview, Fawad candidly shared his thoughts on the immense fan following he enjoys and explained why he consciously chooses to stay away from the allure of fame.
Fawad Khan on staying away from stardom: “Mujhe ghabrahat hoti hai”
Concerns about taking stardom seriously
During the interview, Fawad expressed his concerns about taking his stardom too seriously. He said, “Mujhe ghabrahat hoti hai (I feel worried). I sometimes feel I wasn’t made for this. And I worry that if I take my stardom seriously, or notice the frills of fame, I will be addicted to it. I consciously stay away from it because aaj hai toh kal nahi. I don’t want to reach a pinnacle and then fall from there because the pain will be unbearable. I’d prefer it to be a light thud. Mujhe craft se ishq karne do. If I take my stardom so seriously, I will stop taking my job seriously. Best to remain unaware of it.”
Gratitude for fan support
Fawad also expressed his gratitude for the love he receives from his fans. “I have tremendous Godsent luck. I am often told ‘haan thik dikhta hai, itna kya hai?’ (You look okay, what’s the big deal?) People assume it’s modesty. It’s not. I am very realistic. Looks fade and I am grateful to all my fans, especially my female fans. I am thankful that they have supported me so much and got me to where I am today. But I am just as scared of the men in their lives… so best to fear female adulation a tad,” he shared with a smile.
Bollywood comeback with a rom com
Last week, it was reported that Fawad Khan will be making his comeback to Bollywood with a romantic comedy, co-starring Vaani Kapoor. The film will tell the story of how two broken people come together by a stroke of luck, help each other heal, and ultimately fall in love. This project adds to his impressive Bollywood filmography, which includes hits like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Kapoor and Sons, and Khoobsurat.
Focus on craft over fame
Throughout his career, Fawad has remained dedicated to his craft rather than getting swept up by the trappings of stardom. His conscious effort to stay grounded and his realistic approach to fame have endeared him even more to his fans. As he continues to balance his work in both Pakistani and Indian entertainment industries, Fawad Khan’s focus remains clear: to love his craft and stay true to his art.
