Interview
Mikaal in the answers to meet face to face express all the questions with him behind the veil.
How was you entered biz offer?
Kismat Min Tha (smiling). I got a chance to. Commercial and then I felt that this is what I want to do or I intended to do, so I took him
How did you feel when the first commercial came on the air and what was the response from friends and family?
At the top of the world, and they encouraged all the data and this is why I came all the way without looking back, and I am now one of the most busy models in Pakistan.
The first song “Sano Tere Naal Pyar Jaya is” a blow with the righteous? After this hit song you did another video with Zara that was of very low quality, why?
Being recognized is what everyone longs and that song got this industry to know me. “Yes, there was a mistake, but as you know, everyone learns from his / her mistakes, and I will not repeat it again.
What is the scope of the modeling reported in Pakistan?
It’s just a question of how to play your cards, there is scope to develop models of male and you can be the most sought after model of Pakistan.
Is the industry’s most models for male or female?
Of course there is more work for females than for males there is after all what you get the beauty of the female and modeling is all about that.
What in your opinion is the problem with modeling fees?
Any one would want to be paid more, males are very underpaid compared to the females but then that’s what we have live with.
So what do you have to say about the lobbying going around and you being with the Athar Shahzad Camp?
I believe in working with everyone because each ones looks at you with a different angle, let them direct you and bring out the best and then at the end of the day you will have the result. If you are working with a certain photographer / designer / beautician for years, its obvious a certain relationship is established, no one can be blamed for that and obviously that is not lobbying.
At the LSA award, everyone was expecting you to be the winner but it didn’t shape up that way? Were you hurt?
Yes I was expecting to win and so were others expecting me to win, of course I was hurt but than I took it as it came. This year I don’t intend to submit my portfolio for the LSA.
What projects do you have in hand?
I have just returned from Canada after doing a play “Sukay Patay” with Uzma Gillani, Suneeta Marshall etc. then there is Jaye Kahan Ye Dil, Ik Kasak Baki Hai, and lots of shoots and shows.
Critics say you are a wooden actor?
Well is it so, if that is correct why would producers invest a huge amount on me, I don’t agree with that.
How was the experience working with Reema in her drama debut which was recently aired by a private channel?
It was fun, I got to learn a lot from Humayun, Sajid and Reema.
Any plans to settle down?
No Plans as yet but hopefully soon.
Are you engaged to Zara Sheikh?
Yes very much, we met, we fell in love, got engaged and plan to settle when time comes.
I believe Zara is older to you, any issues on the age difference?
She is a year or two older, so what? That makes no difference, she is the person I was looking for and with her I have found out the true meaning of love, so age could never be a problem between us.
Now what you have to say about our models / actors going across the border to work?
Well let’s not talk about others but I personally would want to stay in Pakistan and do something for my country, but then again if it depends on how the media treats me. For me, the reason most of our models / actors go across the border because the private media take them seriously, and in 4-5 days everyone knows about you, they are professionals in their work, they do not spread controversy instead support their models / actors, and they know what they want which is lacking in Pakistan.
Who is your favorite designer / photographer / beauty / model of the male and female?
I think that each one is a good faith, does not name a specific person and we are all colleagues in this area. In models of the male I would like Argun Rampal and me ofcourse and in female you have to guess ….. Comes at the breakdown, it must be a model and actress Zara and the identity of other people who “do not want to kill.”
Any interest towards music? Any chances of a band or solo for the first time?
I want to go to soft rock on the border with pop music. May be R & B, and Sulu, on the face of uncertainty or maybe the band with a girl in it. And now you must have guessed from that girl will be.
If offered, would you consider acting in movies?
Yes! Definitely movie is the biggest medium, but not now sometime next year, waiting for the right role especially tailored for me.
Will this movie be with Zara?
Yeah definitely, I want to do my first film with her, cause she will help me and it would be excellent.
They say attitude and industry go together? How much truth is there in it?
Attitude is necessary in this industry, it is just a kind of expensiveness about him or her, its just a charm or an air about him as his signature.
