The Pakistan film and television industry is bursting at the seams with an avalanche of talent, but few actors can boast about holding a medical degree and somehow find the time to grace the screens simultaneously.

Soon, along came the opportunity for some acting roles in plays, for which Fahad credited Marina Khan and Jalil Akhtar.

Acting in plays was never a well-paid job, nor indeed as heroic as Fahad imagined, but Fahad rose above his thirst for heroism.
