His honest answer. → Does he personally agree with Kafeel's message? His mature and thoughtful response 🎵 Music — The Other Side of Aashir Wajahat → His song Satke was number one on Spotify → New release with childhood friend Samar — and why the timing was perfect → Instruments he plays: guitar, piano, drums, bass guitar, harmonium → Musical inspirations growing up: Sajjad Ali, Mooriki, Strings → Music vs. acting: which is harder? His answer will surprise you → "In music, it's all you. There's no director to brief you, no co-actor to support you." 🎬 What's Next? → Writing a film with his father — what he's shared about it → Wants to share screen with Sajal Ali and work with Saba Qamar → Dream director: Kashif Nazar — "his work always has more to say" → Won't do anything just for the sake of it — if he doesn't feel it, he won't do it 💬 The Real Talk → On Pakistani audience accepting progressive messaging: "This is not one drama. This is a collective movement through art." → On critics: he respects them but doesn't let judgment affect his craft → On judgement in Pakistani society: "Judgment is everywhere — it's not just us." → Art has no boundaries — but artists are also humans and citizens.
