  • FQ has played 3rd time lucky in his marriage. He has a son from his 2nd marriage. The fact was missed completely.
    He is a versatile actor with strong presence n’ a captivativating voice that makes him stand out. He is devastatingly handsome with a million dollar smile.
    He may be enamoured of Mahira Khan but when FJ made misogynistic comments about her , FQ gingerly sidestepped the issues n’ felt unable to stand for her.

    He is working zealously to project his country in a positive light which is commendable but his hatred for the neighbouring country n’ its super successful film industry appears to be fuelled by a sense of insecurity almost verging on pathological jealously.
