Faisal Rehman is one of Pakistan’s most seasoned actors, who has made his mark in both films and television. Starting his career at just fourteen, he quickly rose to fame and became a film star. Viewers especially admired his on-screen chemistry with Babra Sharif, which remains memorable even today. Over the years, Faisal Rehman has been part of countless hit projects such as Kaisi Aurat Hoon Main, Besharam, Vasl, Aatish, Ranjish Hi Sahi, Gumrah, Shahpar, Ghulam Gardish, Aur Zindagi Badalti Hai, Manay Na Yeh Dil, Khamoshiyan, Malaal and many others. Recently, he appeared in Hum TV’s drama Qarz e Jaan, where fans once again praised his powerful performance.
In a recent conversation on The Blue Truth podcast, Faisal Rehman shared his thoughts about Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, his acting style, and his global stardom.
Faisal recalled meeting Shahrukh Khan in London, introduced by a mutual friend who lived in the same building as the Indian star. He explained that simply meeting Shahrukh wasn’t a big deal in itself, but what truly stood out was the actor’s aura and the way people responded to him. Faisal said, “I like him more than Aamir Khan because he knows exactly what he’s selling. He flows on screen like water. Whether you like his acting or not, he has won the love of millions, and that’s what makes him a successful actor.”
The Pakistani star also drew parallels between himself and Shahrukh, saying that being a great actor isn’t just about technical skills—it’s about connecting with the audience. Faisal admitted that when people call him a “remarkable actor,” he humbly believes it’s because he can build that connection, just as Shahrukh does with his fans.
He also recalled how, during that meeting, a group of Moroccan fans were present, and their excitement for Shahrukh Khan highlighted the scale of his stardom. Shahrukh stayed only for a few minutes, but in that short time, his charm and fame left an unforgettable impression.
Faisal Rehman concluded that Shahrukh Khan’s worldwide fan following is proof of his unique screen presence and lasting impact.
