Renowned for their remarkable chemistry in the drama “Humsafar,” Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan have amassed a devoted fanbase, including fellow actress Sanam Saeed.
Saeed, who is reuniting with Fawad Khan after 12 years in the Zee web series “Barzakh,” expressed her admiration for the Mahira-Fawad pairing in an interview with BBC Asian Network. She acknowledged the unique on-screen magic that Mahira and Fawad create together, saying, “Unlike Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan’s pairing, when I appear on screen with Fawad, people do not feel the same magic, and our pairing does not look as good.”
Reflecting on her reunion with Fawad after more than a decade, Saeed remarked, “I myself cannot believe that Fawad Khan and I are working together on screen again after 12 years. But I think fans will be shocked to see us together on screen again after so many years.”
Saeed also discussed the versatility required in her acting career, emphasizing that she cannot always play romantic roles. “Viewers should also see me as an actor and understand that I can’t appear in romantic roles every time,” she noted.
She further commented on the Mahira-Fawad pairing, highlighting their aesthetic appeal: “Both Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan are beautiful and cute, so their pair looks good. However, Fawad Khan’s interaction with them can be different. They don’t need to always appear as a pair.”
Saeed and Fawad last collaborated in the popular drama “Zindagi Gulzar Hai,” which aired on HUMTV in 2012 and was penned by Umera Ahmed. “Barzakh,” directed and written by Asim Abbasi, is available on the ZEE5 YouTube channel.
