Shoaib Akhtar crosses paths with Shahid Kapoor
- 01 Feb - 07 Feb, 2025
The committed showbiz fan will have no trouble identifying Ghair actor Adeel Husain, despite the relatively low profile he says he prefers. A single man of good fortune, as it were, and with a shrewd eye for projects, Adeel sat down for a candid chat on the Nadaan Maizban YouTube show to discuss everything from friendships to films to potential life partners.
"I struggled a lot at the beginning," muses Adeel, reminiscing about his career trajectory. "The biggest hurdle was entering showbiz in the first place – I completed all my studies first because I needed a backup. Once I entered showbiz, I decided to give myself five years."
Having begun his career in 2007 with the drama Dunya Goal Hai, Adeel has gone on to feature a selection of projects, ranging from Jackson Heights (2014) to Pyari Mona (2023) to his current show, Ghair. His one takeaway from his time in front of the camera? Learning to value the hard work behind the scenes.
"I always check to see what I can learn from others," he maintains. "I was abroad and saw people working, so I appreciate people's hard work, like the cinematographers and everyone else involved. I am more impressed by the whole product, rather than just one individual. I am more excited by an excellent film than individual actors."
