Known for portraying important parts across Pakistani television, actor, producer and host of his own Ramazan broadcasts Faysal Qureshi has had no shortage of mishaps in life. The star of Bashar Momin remembered his almost fatal vehicle accident in November 2021 that was caused by a ruptured tire while speaking with host Nadia Khan on her program Life Green Hai.
Faysal recalled the collision that shrunk his Honda Civic down to the size of an Alto and remarked, “I had already recited the kalma.” “If I hadn’t been buckled up, I would have flown through the vehicle.” Spectators pulled Faysal from the debris in a cloud of smoke, breaking his cervical vertebrae. Faysal laughed and said that he was asked which drama he was presently filming, even in his twisted state.
Over the years, Faysal has focused on developing a state of being that he credits to his strong faith: being joyful in the face of hardship and adhering to a rigid regimen and balanced diet to stay in shape. The actor said, “People ask me why I’m always so happy in Ramazan.” I tell them that this month is an extra gift from Allah. Isn’t it great to receive a bonus at work?
Father Faysal, who called on Muslims to be more tolerant during fasting, bemoaned the detrimental effects that having a short fuse may have on the next generation. He said, “You need to set a good example for your kids.” What sort of example are you setting for a child if they have to constantly tread carefully around anxious parents who are fasting? Your kids will be delighted and want to fast if they saw you trying more to be patient. Your body is meant to be reset and tolerance taught through fasting.
While acknowledging that stress management is not always simple, Faysal insisted that challenges serve as stepping stones to achievement.
He reminded his audience that “failures are important.” “You cannot advance if you never fail. When I first started working, my transportation allowance was merely Rs200. Nevertheless, I would walk to my destinations and save that money, and now look where I am.
Faysal praised new shows that were pushing the boundaries and going beyond conventional family plots in a field full of critics. Faysal wished that Pakistani viewers were as understanding as the foreign viewers he saw on a recent trip to Dubai. He thought, “Everyone in our country just criticizes us.” This is just incorrect. Making fun of us won’t help us at all. We must have discussions that will advance our development. We recently traveled to Dubai, and I saw that everyone who speaks Urdu, whether they are from Nepal or India, is watching our plays. People’s passion for Pakistani TV is insane.
It’s obvious that Faysal will likely spend a long time in front of the camera because Pakistani television viewers are devoted to going insane for the show.
