Zahid Ahmed is incredible. Every time I find myself watching him on television, I’m immersed in his profoundly drawing presence, with his unblemished acting and his debonair demeanor he exudes regardless of whether he’s Haider from ‘Besharam’ or ‘Akku’ from Visaal. I’m a fan, but it’s not just because he’s a dignified actor, but because off-screen he’s polished, refined and incredibly charming. Also am I the only one who gets Nawazuddin Siddiqui vibes from him in his acting realm?
Here are 15 confessions from Zahid that will truly not only respect him more as an actor and a human, but you’ll also fall madly in love with him…
“I probably would have been an air force pilot, [If he weren’t an actor]”
“You don’t see me on morning shows, thora ajeeb silsila hai morning shows mein woh khawateen ka zyada rojhaan hai, woh makeup karti hoti hai aur shaadiyan ho rahi hoti hai, aisay mein aa kar, actor ki value thori down hoti hai”
“Mere do bache hain kyun ke do bache hi ache hain, [chuckles] aur meri puri zindagi unke ird gird ghumti hai”
“My voice is amazing when I speak, it is horrible when I sing, so you do NOT want to hear me singing”
(Lord have mercy we do)
“I love this profession, I want to grow as an artist, and there’s no way to play it safe and grow”
“I would absolutely go to India if the role is worth it, mein sirf ek Indian film karne ke liye nahi karoonga…role aur script bohot important hai“
“I would definitely do Indian films, dekhein ek artist ko hamesha expand karna chahiye, apne horizons aur behter se behter kaam karna chahiye hai toh chahe woh Indian cinema ho, French ho, jo marzi ho I would always be open”
“InshAllah you might see me and Saba Qamar doing something together very soon [considering the massive success of ‘Besharam’]”
“I am six feet tall, six feet zero inches”
“Mein kisi actor se kabhi inspire nahi hua, mein life se inspire hota hoon, mein zindagi se inspire ho ke acting karta hoon…art imitates life and real life is very artistic – that’s my only inspiration”
“Waise meri aadat hai ke mein koshish karta hoon ke ek hi waqt pe do complete opposite characters kamazkam play karoon kyun ke uss mein mazaa aata hai, it keeps you on your toes”
“My biggest fan and supporter, which is my wife, she wants to see me in a very romantic role after all this Akku madness [chuckles]”
“I absolutely LOVE watching Hollywood horror movies, my wife hates them, but I still love them and now she is also slowly being converted and she likes them now…just like I like chick flicks!”
