Fawad Khan Endorses Telenor TalkShawk
Well, well, well. Look who’s gotten hold and made use of a great opportunity – Telenor. The recent advertisement for Telenor TalkShawk shows Fawad Khan (yes, the recent heartthrob of the Pakistani women) as the ambassador for TalkShawk. Fawad Khan’s become quite a star due to his recent work in a couple of television serials, specially ‘Humsafar‘.
Fawad Afzal Khan is known as a renowned Pakistani actor, singer and a model. He started his acting career by working in a comedy serial ‘Jutt and Bond’ and found fame at quite an early age – 22 years. This was the time when Fawad Khan and his friend Ahmed Ali Butt (also his co-star in the serial) started their band, EP (Entity Paradigm) but it was in the year 2002 when the band had it’s first performance, live, at the Race Course Park Lahore. Even after forming the band, Khan continued acting in various serials such as ‘Dil Dey Kay Jayein Gey’ (2000), ‘Satrangi’ (2008), ‘Jeevan Ki Rahoon Mei’ (2009), ‘Daastaan‘ (2010), ‘Akbari Asghari’ (2010), and the most watched ‘Humsafar’ (2011). But he’s most famous for working in Shoaib Mansoor‘s film, ‘Khuda Kay Liye‘ (2007) which gave a great boost to his acting career; landing him in more television serials.
His continuity with acting shows that he was always inclined towards acting and favoured it more than singing. We’ve seen him in a few television commercials for companies like Mobilink, Pepsi and Olpers. But his recent link with Telenor TalkShawk might be the next big thing in his life, especially as an actor if we see how Ali Zafar, the former Telenor TalkShawk ambassador, got known and landed at Bollywood. Would Khan be the next Pakistani actor Bollywood would grab? Maybe he wants to follow the steps of Ali Zafar and gain fame not only in Pakistan but across the borders too. As he said in an interview when asked if whether or not he’ll step into Bollywood, “I will only go for it if it [Bollywood movie] is based on a quality project. Otherwise, Pakistan is my first priority, and I love working for my country.” Seems like Fawad takes acting more seriously than singing and definitely wants to be an actor.
