Birthday Special! 5 characters played by Fawad Khan that stole our hearts forever

Fawad Khan made a name for himself in Pakistan and all across the world with the amazing characters he portrayed on TV. Whether it be Ashar from Humsafar or Zaroon from Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Fawad has managed to charm his way through the fans. 

It wasn't long before the handsome hunk ventured into the world of Bollywood and just within a few years carved a name for himself in the industry. 

The recent ban on Pakistani artists' may have dampened the trajectory, but here are 5 characters portrayed by Fawad on television and the silver screen that stole our hearts and how!

1. Ashar Hussain - Humsafar

Fawad and Mahira Khan played their roles to perfection in this serial and their chemistry was palpable. Fawad, in particular, showed finesse in his acting chops. He convinced us that we all need an Ashar in our life. *eyes do all the talking*

2. Zaroon Junaid - Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Zaroon Junaid is a classic example of a bad boy turned good. The transformation of the character from a stubborn boy to a responsible man is a treat to watch.

3. Vikram Singh Rathore - Khoobsurat

This was Fawad's big debut in Bollywood. Who says that a girl always has to be the eye candy!? Stepping aside, Fawad played the role of the Royal Prince Viku to perfection. 

4. Rahul Kapoor - Kapoor & Sons

Fawad took a very bold step when he portrayed the character of Rahul in Kapoor & Sons. There is one scene in particular (Rahul's confrontation with his mother) that made us cry and broke out hearts.

5. DJ Ali - Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Although a cameo appearance, Fawad managed to win hearts with his smirk and rebellious character. Even with just a song (Cutiepie), everyone went crazy for the handsome lad. Now we know why Ali was Alizeh's tabahee.

Happy Birthday, Fawad Khan!
