Taking to his Instagram Stories, Osman Khalid Butt just did his fans and followers a huge favour. Entombed in a black hoodie with just his face (dotted with a beard, of course), the Diyar e Dil actor seized the opportunity to candidly answer some burning written questions, along with the disclaimer "No guarantee I'll respond".

Ranging from which Harry Potter house he would be in (Ravenclaw) to what his favourite books are (a trio of Stephen King bestsellers: Misery, The Shining, Salem's Lot), from which country he would love to visit this year (Japan) to what he is currently reading (the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe), Osman had his answers ready and waiting.

The answer that stood out the most, however, was when Osman delivering his scathing reply to a question about his relationship with Maya Ali. "Are you Maya Ali's brother?" read the musing of one enquiring fan. "No, no," replied Osman gravely. "I'm her taya abbu."
