Early Education and Knack For Acting
Many BilalAbbas Khan fans do not know that the actor went to Lawrence College Ghora Galli in Murree, the institute where Ehd e Wafa was shot, and may have gone for the Army. Bilal was not into so much physical exercises that the boys had to do there so he joined theatre as that way you could cut off some physical training.
Bilal used to play the girl’s character in those plays as he was the white boy with no beard at the time and the team used to give him those roles as it was an all-boys college. Bilal felt a knack for acting there. Later on, he went to SZABIST for his Bachelor’s degree but left it in the 7th semester with one semester remaining which he is going to complete at some point. Bilal left university in the last semester as he had started getting roles and focused on his work.

Bilal Abbas Khan – Conventional Looks & Critical Acclaim
The Pakistani Entertainment industry has set some standards for the upcoming stars who want to play leads, and such looks help them get better working options. Fair complexion, a standard height and a set style of beard and hair has helped many non-actors bag lead roles. Bilal does have all these ingredients and it can be pointed out that they may have helped his career but in Bilal’s career that was not the case.
Bilal always managed to gather praise for his acting rather than his looks. From Balaa to O Rangreza, what people always noticed was how he gets under the skin of every character and the looks actually become secondary when he is on the screen. The way he played Wajih in Cheekh was applauded by everyone though the drama was dragged and fell off the track mid-way. Even recently his character Fazal Bakhsh broke records for how nicely it was done rather than how good he looked.
The Verdict
Bilal Abbas Khan’s good looks have helped him become a ‘complete package’ as a leading star. However, his script choices and body of work truly demonstrate his talent and potential for stardom, rather than relying solely on his appearance. He has taken on roles like Dobara, Ek Jhooti Love Story, and Kuch Ankahi, where he has supported social messages instead of portraying the traditional ‘hero’ roles that many other actors choose as a shortcut.
What are your thoughts on the young superstar’s journey? Isn’t he the perfect combination of talent and good looks combined?
