He recently appeared on Green Entertainment’s Ramadan broadcast, where he discussed his character Chinar Khan from Khaie.
While responding to criticism about his character Chinar Khan, Faysal stated, “No one is terrified of Chinar Khan; in fact, I am receiving a favorable response; yesterday, someone remarked to me, ‘I don’t know if I should hate Chinar Khan or adore him.’ People like it. Actually, in Pakistan, we caricature the characters; a common belief here is that the villain cannot be human, and the hero cannot be bad at all; they have no notion of gray characters.
I wanted Chinar Khan to be gray; I didn’t want people to dislike it. Also, Chinar Khan has a romantic element to him; credit goes to Saqlain for writing it so beautifully, and it was wonderfully implemented. I believe that if a character is meant to offend people, he should do so; it is part of the beauty of excellent acting and narrative.” Faysal Quraishi stated the following about Chinar Khan:
