Faiq Khan Reveals Politics and Discrimination He Faced In The Industry

Faiq Khan is a well-known and accomplished Pakistani actor with exceptional acting abilities. He lately gave great performances in hit drama serials like Bebak and Meesni. His other successful dramas are Deewar E Shab, Tum Ho Jeene Ki Wajah, Raja Indar, Meri Guriya (Aan TV), and Muhabbat Humsafar Meri. He is now acting on Hum TV’s popular prime-time drama serial Jaan SE Pyara Juni. Faiq Khan is happily married with two gorgeous children. The actor rarely appears in TV interviews, but when he does, he is frank.

He recently appeared on Madeha Naqvi’s morning show, Subh Ka Samaa, where he discussed industry groupings and politics. He also admitted that the industry has kept him underappreciated by not maximizing his abilities.

Talking about it, Faiq Khan stated, “I am considering leaving this industry. I’m considering leaving the entertainment industry and changing careers. I have set a standard for myself, and if I do not meet it, I will go. Even though I’m not sure what life has in store for me, I’m done for the time being because the industry has kept me underappreciated. I’m not sure what they expected from me: branded clothing or stature. They’ve never asked me what kind of work I can do. The industry is unconcerned about you unless you belong to a specific class.

These are tribes, not channels, and they will not give you job until you belong to their tribe. Shamoon Abbasi, Mohsin Talat, and one channel have been my only sources of assistance. I can only speak positively of them; otherwise, this industry is cutthroat.”

Faiq Khan and Adnan Shah Tipu both stated that the industry functions on the basis of contacts. Grouping exists, and today’s industry chooses marketable actors over talent. They observed that the industry prefers actors with a certain look, stature, or strong PR who are commercially successful. Both performers agreed that mediocre actors are frequently portrayed as stars in Pakistan. They also noted that it is now normal for performers to be coupled on film despite considerable age gaps.
