This will probably come as a shock to many but the man who rules the big and small screen whenever he is part of any project is actually a really shy person.

This means that Humayun Saeed’s on screen persona is in complete contrast with his off screen personality.
Humayun Saeed started acting by chance
Humayun Saeed is not one of those actors who always dreamed of becoming performers. He started his career as general manager at a garment factory where he was spotted by someone and was asked to do modeling. Humayun Saeed decided to take up that offer but he could never have imagined that something he opted for fun would change his whole life. After his first modeling shoot, he got many offers for acting and that is when he decided that he loved performing in front of the camera. There was no looking back after that.
He met his wife at a friend’s place
Humayun Saeed’s wife Samina Humayun has been his greatest support in all these years. Humayun Saeed met Samina at a friend’s place for the first time.

Humayun Saeed still says that she is a really caring woman and she is also better at managing things than he is.
Humayun Saeed’s wife did not want him to act
At first Samina Humayun was not comfortable with Humayun Saeed working in dramas. She felt jealous and was afraid that the other girls who were working with Humayun might not be professional. However, Humayun Saeed was lucky enough to work with some of the most educated and polished actresses at the beginning of his career and when his wife became friends with his co-stars she was more comfortable with his acting career. She realized that there were good people in this business as well and let Humayun pursue his acting career.
Humayun is against cosmetic procedures
Nowadays, many actors turn to cosmetic procedures in order to look young and appealing. Humayun Saeed is not one of those actors. In several interviews he made it very clear that he would never get such procedures done. The reason for this is that he won’t put himself in pain to look better. Also, he is scared that the result might turn out to be a disaster. So he would much rather rely on a good diet and exercise to look good than cosmetic procedures.
Acting is his first love
Although Humayun Saeed’s production house has produced some of the best dramas of Pakistan and he takes his work as a producer really seriously but for him acting comes before everything else. He enjoys the feeling of being incharge of dramas and shaping them up but he enjoys performing on the screen even more.
Humayun Saeed is a foodie
Humayun Saeed looks lean and handsome most of the time and it’s not because he finds it easy to eat smart and workout but it’s because he puts in a lot of effort into staying away from the foods he loves. Humayun Saeed is a foodie who loves eating high calorie desi dishes like nihari and biryani. That is why sometimes he puts on that extra weight.

His flaws motivate him

Humayun Saeed is a humanitarian
Humayun Saeed is not one of those celebrities who openly donate or show their humanitarian work. Very few people know that he has contributed a great deal to Shaukat Khanum and Shahid Afridi’s charity projects. He also engages himself in other humanitarian activities but keeps it all a secret.
