Fawad Khan to show comic avatar in new TV show

Pakistani actor Fawad Khan, who has impressed Indian audiences with his intense performance in TV shows like "Zindagi Gulzar Hai", "Humsafar" and "Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam", will next be seen in a humorous avatar in upcoming show "Aaja Sajna Miliye Juliye".

Based on the modern adaptation of Mirat-ul-Uroos by Nazir Ahmad Dehlvi, "Aaja Sajna Miliye Juliye", which will be aired on Zindagi, is a roller-coaster ride of drama, romance and delightful splashes of light-hearted comedy.

In the show, which was aired in Pakistan earlier, the 33-year-old will be seen playing the role of Asghar, a man with no ambitions in life.

Asghar is an intelligent but lazy person, who wants to make it big via shortcuts and shirks any work that requires him to move. His parents and peers consider him to be absolutely useless. His favourite pastime is running after girls. He dreams of marrying into a rich family that can get him as far away from his backward village as possible.

Apart from Fawad, the show will also star Pakistani actresses Sanam Baloch and Humaima Malick.

Meanwhile, Fawad, who made his Bollywood debut with 2014 film "Khoobsurat", is currently busy shooting for "Kapoor & Sons", which also stars Sidharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt and Rishi Kapoor.
