  • Pak-India relationship like KMKT’s Mustafa and Adeel: Emmad Irfani

    Pak-India relationship like KMKT’s Mustafa and Adeel: Emmad Irfani

     
    In a recent interview with India Today, the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor opened up about the love and appreciation his work has received from across the border.


     
     
    The host, Sana Farzeen, asked, “Tell me, when you get such love from India for your project, how do you feel? When your work is so appreciated from the neighboring country, how do you feel?”
     


    Emmad Irfani replied, “I mean, for an entertainer, applause is the best form of encouragement. What more could a performer ask for?”
     
    The Jaan-e Jahan actor reflected on the relationship between Pakistan and India and described it in a unique way.


     
    “I always believe that the relationship between Pakistan and India is like Mustafa and Adeel. They are probably brothers, raised in the same house, have blood ties, but they don’t see eye to eye. Their relationship is just like that of brothers, a story we tell, going back in time,” Emmad Irfani said.


     
    The Jalan actor discussed the long and thoughtful journey behind the project (Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum), emphasizing the dedication that went into it.
     


    Irfani said, “As for how it all started, the shooting began last year, and I was tapped by Badar Mahmood much before that. It took a sweet time, and everything didn’t happen quickly. In fact, if you ask me, Badar Mahmood, our director, I think his journey took about two and a half to three years, from the idea to the writing, from casting to shooting, and finally the release. So, I think it was made with a lot of patience, a labor of love.”


    Emmad Irfani portrayed the character of Adeel in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. 


    “I’ve been to India twice, once I visited Delhi, and another time I came to Bombay. It feels like the same surroundings, the same vibe, and everything appears the same. So, thank you so much. I mean, Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has totally introduced me to an audience that was unaware of who I was. It’s really one of the proudest moments of my life. I came for Bridal Asia in Delhi in 2002, and I came for Bridal Waves in Bombay in 2004,” Emmad shared.


    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum was written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood.

  • Tauseeq Haider of ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ hints at season two of hit drama serial

    Tauseeq Haider of ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ hints at season two of hit drama serial

    Television host and actor Tauseeq Haider, who recently received praise for doing justice to his role of Murtaza in ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’, might have just hinted at a possible second season of the hit drama serial.

    Appearing as a guest on the Tabish Hashmi’s Hasna Mana Hai, Haider was interacting with the audience when someone asked him about his character’s attitude towards Fahad Mustafa’s character in the drama.

    “You recently did a new drama, ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’. Throughout the drama, you humiliated Fahad Mustafa’s character a lot. But when he succeeded in the end, why didn’t you praise him? You criticised him till he wasn’t doing anything. When he succeeded in the end, you didn’t praise him at all. Why is that?” a member of the audience asked.

    The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor replied, “Look, son, we should leave something for season two, right?” 

    Earlier, Haider also addressed some questions about his personal life that have been doing the rounds on social media.

    “My question is regarding social media rumors that you never got married. Is there any truth to it?” another member of the audience asked.

    “No, these are not rumors… this is the truth,” Haider confirmed.

     The drama Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, which wrapped up with a grand finale in cinemas nationwide, has become a huge hit, with fans showing love for Mustafa and Sharjeena.  

    This success adds another milestone to Fahad Mustafa’s already impressive career.

    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood.

    Last week, in a recent with Something Haute hosted by Hassan Choudhry, Fahad Mustafa revealed the story behind the iconic shirt scene from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.

    The host asked, “The idea of creating highly realistic characters and showing Hania and you switching outfits, whose idea was that?”

    Fahad replied, “You know, intimacy has its own height, we’re quite restricted when it comes to television, and many scenes that we showcased in the cinema were innocent and very cute. There wasn’t a cringe worthy moment or anything that would make you feel uncomfortable.”

    “We thought, what could be the height of romance? If you’re truly in love with someone, what would you do, but then again, how could we show that? We can’t dance or do much else here. I think the maximum we could do was hold hands, and that’s about it”, he said.  

    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor shared how the beloved shirt scene came to life.

      “There’s a scene where she comes out of the bathroom, and I ask her, ‘what are you doing?’ We decided to just play with it. What I liked most was how the audience connected. If you show them things that happen to them or things that are normal, that’s where the romance lies. Romance isn’t about descending from a helicopter with flowing hair”, Fahad Mustafa added.

    ‘It’s not just my story, it’s Sharjeena’s too’: Fahad Mustafa on ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’

     
    Fahad Mustafa, the lead actor for ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’, has yet again made headlines, but this time, for praising the team that made the drama a massive hit.   

     
    “The story in this drama isn’t just mine, it’s Sharjeena’s too… and in my opinion, this is the only drama in many years where every character has done a great job,” he said in conversation with Bollywood Hungama when asked if he thought the audience was biased towards Mustafa as compared to Sharjeena.


    Reflecting on his ability to connect with viewers, Fahad replied, “Look, I’ve always had an issue with connecting with the audience. It’s a rare thing, but I always say that I’m gifted. Maybe the audience feels like I’m one of them. I look like a common man, I’m a common guy, the boy next door. So, there’s this idea that if a hero can be someone like me, then anyone can be a hero. This is how I quickly connect with the audience, so bias automatically comes into play.”


    “It’s not just about Mustafa and Sharjeena… even the parents, Adil, Rubab and even the brother-in-law who played the role so well. Our sister [Maya Khan], she was very famous in our time… during PTV days, anyone who came on TV became a star overnight,” he added. 


    Fahad also opened up about his connection with fans, the success of the drama serial and the importance of collaboration between Pakistan and India while commenting on the drama’s success across the border.
    “It’s a good thing that we work internationally… I worked with Om Puri, and when he came to Pakistan, he worked with me. I also worked with Kamaljeet and had interviews with Naseer Saab, Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, and many others,” he said.


    Fahad maintained that artists on either side of the border should interact on an equal basis so that projects on both sides can be at the same level. “Right now, people from India love our dramas. I don’t understand why we don’t work together, what’s the problem? At least both sides should have positivity, because people love each other.”


    The ‘Actor In Law’ actor also highlighted the cultural connect between Pakistan and India, recalling moments where fans from both countries bonded over mutual love for cricket and dramas. 


    “Our people get visas to go to India, and many people come here. I play a lot of cricket so when I go to any ground, I usually meet Pakistani and Indian fans… some of whom are visiting their relatives here,” Fahad concluded.

    Fahad Mustafa’s return to television after 10 years with Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has been a massive hit. The serial has enthralled audiences across the globe, creating a fanatic fan base. 

    One moment that fans can’t stop talking about is the iconic “shirt scene”.

     During a recent appearance on Something Haute hosted by Hassan Choudhry, Fahad Mustafa revealed the story behind the iconic shirt scene from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.

Romance isn’t about descending from helicopter with flowing hair,” Fahad Mustafa laughingly said.

    In the same interview, he also talked about his favorite scene from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.

    Talking about his favorite scene from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, Fahad Mustafa said, “The scene between Sharjeena and Mustafa that I like the most is the last scene, I really love that scene, and no one could have made that last scene, no one could have thought of it, no one could have created it.”

     The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor didn’t hold back when talking about the hurdles he faced as a producer and actor. He expressed frustration about how money often overshadows the creative process.

    “I was a bit angry during the production of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. When I talked to anyone, all they were focused on was how much money they will make. I know that I would earn a lot of money from this drama, a lot of money, but it’s not about money. In any project, you have to be fully involved. If it doesn’t make any difference, there’s no benefit,” Fahad said

    Was Fahad Mustafa’s father about to start a biryani shop for him?

    Fahad Mustafa’s father, senior actor Salahuddin Tunio, has made it clear that he had never been planning to set up a biryani stall for his son in the past.

    Fahad Mustafa had mentioned on Mohib Mirza’s show a year ago that if he had not become an actor, he would have been selling biryani at his father’s request.

They also guided us on how to make a biryani business successful,” he said.

    Salahuddin Tunio has clarified that he was not going to buy his son a biryani stall but a huge franchise. He explained, “Until then, Fahad Mustafa was not an actor, and he was not like he is today. So, I wanted to engage him in the biryani business.”

    “I was not going to open a biryani shop or hotel for my son. I had talked to a very big biryani franchise. I was going to open a biryani franchise for him,” he added.

    On the occasion of the last episode of his son Fahad Mustafa’s popular drama ‘Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum’ being shown in the cinema, he also expressed his pride in his son’s success. Salahuddin Tunio said, “As a father, it is a place of pride for me; no one else will be as happy as I am.”

  • We finally know why Sharjeena’s father didn’t accept Mustafa

    We finally know why Sharjeena’s father didn’t accept Mustafa

     
    Megahit drama serial Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has launched many online conversations about the complex relationships it revolves around. Sharjeena and her father’s bond is one of them.
     
    Television host and actor Tauseeq Haider, portraying Sharjeena father, recently talked about his character in an interview with Fuchsia Magazine. 
     
    When asked by host Rabia Mughni, “What drives your character to accept Mustafa,” Haider replied, “I believe there is intense love for his daughters, especially for the eldest one, but he doesn’t see anything else.”

    He said that this particular aspect has received much praise for the character, but there’s also a message in it:
     “While love for children is essential, there comes a point where you need to accept changes in their lives.”
     
    Despite his character’s overprotectiveness, Tauseeq pointed out the irony in the narrative, saying, “My daughter (Heera) is strong like a diamond, and our upbringing has prepared her well.”
     
     
    The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor shared a story about his niece in Turkey who recognized the show even though she didn’t speak the language. 
     
    “In Nepal, Mauritius, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, wherever Urdu is spoken and understood, even my niece went to Turkey, and there was a Turkish colleague of hers who couldn’t even speak English properly. Her colleague said that they are in love with Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum,” Haider added.
     
    Tauseeq shared a recent personal experience that brought him joy.
    He said, “I was coming from Islamabad to Karachi on a flight recently, so, when I entered the plane, the cabin crew lady welcomed me excitedly and said, ‘I want to take a selfie with you right now.’ I said, ‘Sure, go ahead.’ Now, I went and sat down, and after a little while, when it was time for takeoff, about half an hour later, when the food trolley came, she was about to serve me the meal. She hesitated and said, ‘My heart isn’t in it to serve you food.’”

    ‘Our only star power’: Umer Aalam praises Fahad Mustafa and Humayun Saeed

    Humayun Saeed and Fahad Mustafa are two of the biggest stars in the Pakistani entertainment industry these days.

    Actor and model Umer Aalam made a guest appearance on the ‘FHM podcast’ and shared his thoughts on the current state of stardom in the entertainment industry.

    “The only star power we have right now is with Fawad bhai, Humayun bhai, and these other guys, these are the stars.

    “Only once they step aside can others step up. I mean, we don’t even need to replace them yet because we don’t have anyone ready to take their place,” he said.

    The host, Adnan Faisal, asked, “Who will replace them?” to which Raqs-e- Bismil actor replied, “I’m telling you, it might be someone right in front of you, maybe not now, but time will tell. These people have put a lot of work and time into this industry. In my opinion, no one can easily replace them just like that, but to become a star, you need a huge body of work behind you. You don’t just become a star overnight.”

    Talking about the drama serial Gentlemen, Aalam praised its high production.

    “The work was good, the story is solid, the people are great, and the production is top-notch, but, for some reason, it hasn’t fully clicked yet. Maybe it will once the proper love story starts because, in dramas, it usually picks up after around the eighth or ninth episode. It’s rare for a drama to take off right from the first episode”, he added.

    Currently, Fahad Mustafa is starring in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, while Humayun Saeed has wrapped up his drama Gentlemen, the last episode of which has already aired.

  • Can you imagine Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum with different actors?

    Can you imagine Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum with different actors?

     
     
     
     When it comes to casting the perfect actors for a drama serial, every little detail counts, especially for a drama like ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ which has become popular because of its gripping storyline and brilliant performances.
     
    But have ever wondered what the drama would be like with a completely different cast?
     
    Hania Aamir plays the character of Sharjeena, and Emmad Irfani plays the character of Adeel.
     
     
    Recently, Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum director Badar Mehmood appeared on Gloss Etc by Maliha Rehman.
      
    “This is a collective decision, when the story is written and the script is prepared, there are some writers’ inputs involved. The writer (Farhat Ishtiaq) specifically told me that she wanted Hania Aaamir to be cast, and for Emmad Irafani, she mentioned that too. Fortunately, we got both of them because, as you know, there are timeline issues and commitments. The only concern is that there shouldn’t be any commitments. So it was just luck that we managed to get both of them for this drama.”
     
    The host asked, “They also said that if the chemistry is good, the drama will progress well. Did you know from the beginning that this romance might require some censorship?”
     
    Mehmood replied, “Until now, we haven’t had to face any issues on TV. However, when the 25th episode aired, a censor issue came up that I had to address because it was related to romance. In the 25th episode, there’s a scene where Fahad is lying on the bed, and Hania is resting her head on his shoulder. I initially took a wider shot, but then I made it more compact. I thought, when I saw the drama that was the wider shot with both of them lying down and talking. I made it more compact so that it wouldn’t cause too much concern on TV.”
     
     
     
     
    Badar also highlighted how important it is to show closeness in a respectful way, especially when it involves portraying different types of relationships on screen.
     
    “It also depends on the relationship, if it’s a husband-wife relationship, I feel there should be some allowance for that. I spoke to the censor board and said, ‘It’s a husband-wife relationship, it should be fine.’ But if it’s a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, I understand that certain boundaries should definitely be maintained. That’s the beauty of a husband-wife relationship, it should be  shown,” Badar Mehmood added.
     
    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood.

    The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital.
