Pakistani actor Fawad Khan apologizes to Indian fans for 8-year hiatus

“It wasn’t in my hands”

TPakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan has a huge fan base in India. The actor gained immense popularity not only in his home country but also in India after his TV serials Zindagi Gulzar Hai and Humsafar became super hits. Amidst his growing fan base, he started getting offers from across the border which catapulted him to stardom even more.

The actor has starred in a few Bollywood projects like Khoobsurat, Kapoor & Sons and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. However, his time in India was cut short after a ban was imposed on Pakistani artistes working in India after the 2016 Uri terror attack. However, if reports are true, the actor will soon make a Bollywood comeback.

In promotion of his new supernatural show Barzakh, Fawad expressed his gratitude to the Indian audience. He then apologized for his absence from Indian cinema and addressed rumours about his comeback.

About his absence from Indian cinema, Fawad apologized to his Indian fandom during his interview: “I have always been very thankful to the fans who have been waiting for me and I apologize for making them wait for so long. But it was not in my hands.”

“I firmly believe that everything has its own time… You say ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’, but we also have another saying, ‘aankh ojhal, pahaad ojhal’ (out of sight, out of mind). That happens too,” the actor added.

After a gap of eight years, Fawad Khan is reportedly gearing up to make a Bollywood comeback in a film with Vaani Kapoor. Speaking to Something Haute, Khan said, “Oh my god, I don’t know if there will be a Bollywood comeback, but main yeh zaroor kahoonga ki, there is stuff that is going to come out. There is stuff that is going to go into production… Aayega, aayega, aayega.”

Fawad went on to talk about his upcoming projects, but he did not reveal whether they will be made in Bollywood or Pakistani cinema.

“We are doing some things and there is not one, but two things coming. One is probably going to go on the floor next year, fingers crossed. And then there are other things. I say waqt batayega aur bohot jald batayega,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fawad has reunited with his Zindagi Gulzar Hai co-star Sanam Saeed in the mystical show “Barzakh”. In India, the show is streaming on Zee5. (Agencies)
