Fawad Khan: Winning Hearts In India

There’s a reason why women on the subcontinent are drooling. Meet him and you know why. That flawless bone structure, those flecked Glenfiddich eyes, that hint of a smile on his face, add to that dollops of shyness and you have a concoction that’s dangerous for your pulse rate. Strong silent types who operate just under the boiling point have a special attraction. Estrogen magnet, anyone? And when he uses a smattering of Urdu with his English, in that rich as chocolate cream voice, you, whose only reference of a language is the Bambaiya bhasha, want to put all your chores away and just continue listening to him. Who says there’s no solution to India-Pakistan problems? He is. Ha!

Right now, it seems like Fawad Khan is minted with special lustre. It’s not just the women folk who are under his spell. Our filmmakers seem to have taken to him like colour takes to white. Scripts are being flung at him like balls on a squash court. So life’s coming up lilies and daffodils for this actor from across the border. He’s enjoying his time in the limelight. Life has changed beyond imagination. He’s still grappling with it. But one thing is for sure he won’t have it any other way. So we’re sitting in his suite at a suburban five star hotel, it’s pouring outside. And he regales us with stories about back home. A freewheeling chat with India’s most priceless import:

What’s been on your mind lately?

Home. It’s been an exhausting run since the past six months. But you can’t complain. Jab kaam nahi hota then you’re running after your livelihood. And when you have work you complain about being busy. So ya, there’s nothing to complain about but I’m missing home.

You’ve been here for a while now…
