Recently, Ahsan made an appearance in Fuchsia Magazine’s YouTube show hosted by Rabia Mughni. In the show, Ahsan shared details of his tough journey and getting work for Gentleman. He also shared experience working with Humayun Saeed.
Talking about shooting his first scene with Humayun Saeed, Ahsan said, “I was ready on set and walking around, talking to myself about doing a scene with Humayun Saeed. I was convinced he wouldn’t come, and that someone else would play the character. But then Humayun Saeed and Ahmed Ali Butt walked in, and I instantly felt confused upon seeing Humayun Saeed. I was quite unsure and nervous about my upcoming scene with him because I had to act alongside him. Then, Humayun Saeed called me over and said, “Let’s do the scene!” I became so tense because of his charismatic personality that I poorly executed my lines. I failed multiple times until Humayun Saeed realized I needed guidance. He read the lines, and I wish we had the footage of that scene because his acting was incredible. Humayun Saeed portrayed Zulmi in a brilliant style. I wanted him to do it once more because he truly nailed it”
Talking further about the specific scene, Ahsan said that Humayun Saeed told him that he had to show the happy emotions while telling about Iqbal Munna’s refusal to sit on the floor. Ahsan said that he was so surprised by Humayun Saeed’s attitude, he was so helpful.
Ahsan further added, “there was a scene with Ahmed Ali Butt in which we had to assure our loyalty with Iqbal Munna, it was my time to perform. I was quite active on the set and did that scene brilliantly. The next day, Humayun Saeed came and showed that scene to everyone that Zulmi (Ahsan) performed so well. He came to me and watched that scene with me and I wasn’t interested in the scene because I wanted to say Humayun Saeed, ‘I love you’, who showers this much love and appreciation to a newbie? it was unbelievable”
