I think this was the “shakar jis ka tha intezaar” of the whole series of interviews that Mahirah Khan did . The whole world was waiting to see the “reunion” of their favourite stars aka Asher Hussain and Khirad after quite a gap and this fan was not disappointed . This was one of Mahirah’s best shows partly becuase of Fawad’s presence but also becuase Mahirah was actually in command . The highlight had to be the parody of Humsafar . Fawad was hilarious with his “mummy yeh aap kiya keh raheen hai?” and Mahirah looked zalim enough saying Farida’s lines .This felt like such a family reunion for obsessive fans (like me) of Humsafar that I really found myself wishing Sarmad Khoosat had been invited too, but then again that was not the essence of this show.
We did learn a few things ,things we had already guessed at but it is always nice to have a little confirmation:
Fawad said that if an actor is not comfortable on a set it shows in his work and the audience picks up on it ,mentioning NUMM and ASHK as examples. I have to give him credit for being a very honest person .
Fawad chose Zaroon over Asher but called “his’ picture “chichora” in the turki Ba turki round .
Fawad chose Salman over Shah Rukh ( NOOOOO)
He chose the atmosphere of the set of Akbari Asghari over Dastan
He accepts he mumbles his dialogues sometimes
Fawad knows his craft and agrees with me when someone beautiful like himself cries people care whereas if the team at Dp cries people shrug their shoulders and move on …read into it what you will.
As always Fawad and Mahirah shared great chemistry and were a pleasure to watch on screen . Similarly Mahirah shared a great rapport with Adeel Hussain and Shehryaar , so they were my favouirite shows out of this series.Talking of the beautiful people I would have loved to see Mahirah interview Mikaal Zulfikaar . My favourite comments from Fawad had to be about Shaan and how if they were stuck in an elevator Shaan would talk about being in Films but there was no gaurantee that Fawad would be listening …All I could think ( between giggling like a ten year old) was : you can take the boy out of Lahore but you can’t take the Lahore out of the boy
Let’s hear what our readers have to say …
