More Than Money: The Untold Lessons Behind Fawad Khan's Career Moves

Fawad Khan, the renowned Pakistani actor, is gearing up for his role in the upcoming movie 'Barzakh,' directed by Asim Abbasi. 

There’s also buzz that Fawad might be making a Bollywood comeback with a project directed by Aarti Bagdi. 

This news has sparked mixed reactions online, especially when a critic on X (formerly Twitter) questioned Fawad's decision to work in Bollywood.

A user commented that Fawad Khan doesn't need offers from Pakistan because he has plenty and has turned down many major projects with top writers, actors, and directors. 

The user found it puzzling that he chose to work with Vaani Kapoor in a seemingly random Bollywood film.

Responding to this, British-Pakistani film director, screenwriter and producer Asim Abbasi expressed curiosity about the issue. 

He pointed out that individuals are free to make choices for their careers and fulfillment, and questioned who anyone is to judge where or with whom someone chooses to work. 

He noted that offers are subjective, and not everyone shares the same tastes or interests. 

Despite receiving offers, Asim himself has no interest in certain types of content. 

He emphasized that the industry should celebrate diversity and personal choices, and everyone should do what fulfills their soul. 

For Asim, working on shows with Zindagi or in the UK brings fulfillment, and he suggested that something else might fulfill Fawad’s soul. 

He stressed that they appreciate their supporters but do not want to be held to arbitrary standards.
