Famous Dramas Rejected by Fawad Khan
Lahore, 7th July: The heartthrob of the Pakistani drama industry, Fawad Khan, has graced our screens in a number of blockbuster dramas. The drama that brought him in the limelight was ‘Humsafar’, in which he starred alongside Mahira Khan.
He has also showcased his talent in the Bollywood industry by being a part of three movies, Khoobsurat, Kapoor and Sons, Aye Dil Hai Mushkil.
However, due to tensions between the two neighboring countries, Indian production houses canceled all contracts with our stars.

‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’ was the last local project to air in 2013 in which Fawad Khan was cast. After that, he hasn’t been a part of any local drama or movie. However, his Pakistani movies are in pipeline and viewers are eager to see them as soon as the cinemas reopen.
Fawad Khan is also famous in the industry for rejecting scripts rather than accepting them. He has, therefore, rejected various projects which later turned out to be super hit dramas.
