Fawad Khan claims Bollywood superstars were insecured of him

Pakistan actor Fawad Khan has spoken about his time in the Bollywood industry and his experience with Indian fans. he had a brief stint in Bollywood and during that time, some of his TV dramas from Pakistan used to be telecasted in India. This led him to have earned a lot of fans in the country. However, his stint came to an abrupt end as the political relations between India and Pakistan worsened in 2016.

When prodded, Fawad said 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.

He added that he always has a disagreement with his PR team over the use of social media and he doesn’t like to do so.

“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!’”
