Fawad on what his PR workforce would get ‘offended’ about

When prodded, Fawad mentioned in Urdu, “That’s such a heavy question. I got a lot of love from India. But look, every industry has its politics. In Pakistan as well. But it’s easier to combat the politics in your industry because it is your own. I’m not saying it (the industry politics) is unheard of, I’m sure it happens everywhere. But there was one thing, if I talk about threat or no threat – I had PRs, and they used to get angry at this… I was like, ‘I need you to take out my name, not put it in there’. I would ask my PR, ‘You are here just to remove me from places, not put me’. My manager, who is my good friend now, would say, ‘No, You don’t know how the world works’. I said, ‘I don’t want to do Instagram, Facebook, I don’t want to do all these things.’ But she would say ‘That is the norm!’”

Fawad Khan’s Bollywood career

In 2014, Fawad made his Bollywood debut opposite Sonam Kapoor in Khoobsurat. He only worked in two more Hindi films – Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Kapoor and Sons, which was backed by Karan and directed by Shakun Batra – before Pakistani artistes were banned from working in Indian cinema as the relations between the two countries soured.
