Recently, Omair Rana appeared on Narr’s Podcast, hosted by Ismaeel Qasim. In the podcast, he shared insights about Ahmed Ali Akbar and Wahaj Ali’s struggles and humility, and also praised Bilal Abbas Khan.
Talking about them, Omair Rana said, “Ahmed Ali Akbar, the great Ahmed Ali Akbar, once worked as an assistant director on the film Tamanna, on the same sets I was part of. It’s not that he wasn’t acting at the time — but his humility is his greatest attribute and what makes him a great human being. Wahaj has also been part of behind-the-camera production team, and that experience keeps them grounded. This, to me, is true humility — it lasts longer and is the key to success. That’s one of the reasons why people love Wahaj, Ahmed, and Bilal Abbas today. Work on your craft, be ambitious, but also be a good human being. One big hit can do wonders for you — like Wahaj’s Tere Bin brought him massive success, and Ahmed Ali Akbar’s Parizaad made him a star.” Here is the link to the video:
