Pakistani actor Fawad Khan’s experience of working in India was very good and he credits his Khoobsurat co-star Sonam Kapoor for it.
“She is a great person and I enjoyed working with her. The environment on the sets was very homely and I didn’t face any problem at any stage,” Fawad said here Sunday on the sets of Entertainment Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega.
“I didn’t face any problem in communicating with the people on the sets and a lot of credit goes to her (Sonam) for that,” he added.
Fawad would love to take Sonam on a tour of Pakistan, especially the Sind region Sonam’s family belongs to.
“I have heard she is interested in the Sind region, so I can show her that area. Besides that, I can show her around Lahore the best as I belong to that city,” Fawad said.
“It would be a pleasure to show her around Pakistan. I think this is a good chance for us to connect as it is not often you get to visit the other’s country,” added the actor.
Khoobsurat has been produced by Sonam’s sister Rhea Kapoor and directed by Shashanka Ghosh.
It also stars Kirron Kher and Ratna Pathak Shah and hits theatres Sep 19.

Fawad Khan – Some interesting similarities

Doosri Aurat (The other lady)
“Doosri Aurat” is a popular phenomenon in our dramas and films; this character is typically interested in the hero and steps in between romance or marriage of lead couple of drama. It is a tried and tested recipe which mostly adds spice in a drama or film. Interestingly almost in all dramas of Fawad there is a “Doosri Aurat”, between Fawad and her lead female cast. In some dramas, this “doosri aurat” has been successful in settling with Fawad, or failed in her intentions, or settled as a second wife.
Let’s glance through each drama serial of Fawad on different channels to locate this “Doosri Aurat”.

• Ashk: Fawad Khan (Rohail) and Neelum Munir (Zaibunnisa/Zebu) are the lead pair while Mehreen Raheel (Madiha) is Fawad’s friend who also wants him to divorce Neelum and marry her.

• Numm: Fawad Khan (Wali Bakht) and Sania Saeed (Mahjabeen) are married, it is a forced marriage due to some feudal customs where Sania is quite elder than Fawad. Later Fawad marries Kinza Wyne (Neelum) as his second wife.
Mehreen Raheel:
Mehreen Raheel is another similarity in dramas of Fawad Khan. She is the most hit “Doosri Aurat” for Fawad and appeared thrice in such role (most by any actress) in Dastaan and Zindagi Gulzar Hai on HUM TV and Ashk on Geo TV. Mehreen is portrayed as an ardent lover of Fawad in all these dramas.
Sanam Baloch:
To some extent Sanam Baloch can be considered as another similarity in Fawad’s dramas too, she has played the lead role against Fawad most number of times than any other actress. In Dastaan and Akbari Asghari on Hum TV they were in lead roles while in Kuch Pyar ka Pagal Pan on ARY Digital she was initially heroine of Fawad but later she also transforms into character of “Doosri Aurat”.
