Professional Career & Acting Background
Talking about his background, Awais said, “I joined New York Film Academy in 2017. I had always been an art lover, I am an Artist by heart. Also, I wanted to do something new, I got a good profit in my business (medical supplies business), so switched towards acting as my wife suggested that I should do what I love the most. After getting the permission from my wife, I went to New York Film Academy. It was a good journey, although, I didn’t study film making. After coming to Pakistan I worked as a director, I also worked with See Prime. For acting I went to the theater and joined the Arts council. I did a short course and started getting work there”.

First Project & Difficulties
Talking about getting his first project, he said that he got a short film which was directed by Sohail Javed, followed by Green Entertainment’s Grey but these two projects didn’t give him the break he was looking for. Talking about Ishq Murshid, Faraz said, “We were doing a drama at the Arts Council, we invited all the known media figures and Geeti from Momal Productions was one among them. A group of boys then requested me to arrange an audition with Geeti which I did for them. I wasn’t interested in giving audition because I shifted to Malaysia because of my wife’s job. We went and gave auditions, I also gave audition on my friend’s request. After a month, I got the call. I didn’t go to Malaysia after I heard Farooq Rind’s name because I knew him well. I gave multiple auditions for Ishq Murshid until I fetched it, it was a difficult process because I was replaced after two days of shooting because of my hair. They were particular about their imagination for Faraz. They wanted proper curly hair and I had wavy hair. Well, Farooq rind took a stand for me but still I changed my appearance and made a look which they wanted. Once the shooting started, Farooq rind came to me and said, ‘this is your place, grab it’.
Relationship With Bilal Abbas
Talking about his camaraderie with actor Bilal Abbas, he said, “Bilal never made me feel that he is super star. He’s easy to work with, he is so helpful, especially, if he knows that an actor is doing a great job and the character is good, then he wants the actor to be given ample screen time. Bilal is a secure actor. He is a true star. Now, he’s a great friend to me as well.
Recognition After Ishq Murshid Success
Talking about getting the recognition after Ishq Murshid’s success. He said, “I am shocked that people have started recognizing me even in my changed look, I mean they haven’t seen me in my latest look before. I travel to Malaysia and people recognize me with a changed look and often say to me , “where are you going without Shahmir”. Here is the link to the video:
