Faizan Khawaja is a remarkable Pakistani television and film actor, known for hit dramas like Aik Nai Cinderella, Dulhan, Jaal, Ishq Tamasha, TuIshq Hai, Saudai, Qismat, and others. He is the son of former Pakistani film and TV producer Rashid Khawaja, who introduced many successful Pakistani actors, including Sami Khan. Faizan Khawaja also gained recognition for his short film Twisted Sapnay with Zubab Rana. He stepped away from acting due to the unprofessional attitude prevalent in the television, fashion, and film industries. Despite receiving praise for his performances in popular dramas like Ishq Tamasha and Tu Ishq Hai, he didn’t work in dramas.
Faizan Khawaja is quite vocal on non-payment issues in industry. Recently, this concern was raised by veteran actor Muhammad Ahmed.
Talking about it, Faizan Khawaja said, “I say this with profound grief and deep regret — seniors like Muhammad Ahmed and Mehreen Jabbar have to beg for their own money. People are making digital headlines in my name, claiming that I exposed showbiz — I didn’t expose anyone, I simply spoke the truth. And trust me, I am not doing this to go viral. I’m not looking for followers. Humaira Asghar had 700K followers — what did they do for her? I once did a commercial and literally had to beg for my payment. I decided not to do commercials again in my life. But when my drama and film became hits, I was offered a commercial — and I had to go through the same experience. Let me clarify — no one owes me any money. This isn’t about me. It’s about all the people who aren’t being paid for their work.”
He further added, “Also, I didn’t leave acting — I just stopped working with those who don’t pay on time. It’s been five years since my last drama. The problem is, you have to chase producers just to get the money you rightfully earned”. Here is the link to the video:
