In an interview with Jawad Bashir on YouTube, Sami Khan picked out the differences between being an artist and acquiring fame. Being a seasoned actor, Khan's wisdom comes from experience and an observation of how the entertainment landscape is shifting under the influence of social media.

"There is a stark difference between being an actor and being famous. There are a lot of platforms that can grant you fame. To be viral online is to become famous. But being an artist is a different thing," the actor said. "I sometimes wonder if there might be individuals out there who are better than me but were never given the opportunity to flourish. And yes, luck is a factor in this process."

The Aik Chubhan Si actor believes that we tend to focus on someone else's stardom, not the effort it took for them to get there. He further observed that to be an artist means to figure out what your talent is. "You need to be a good actor first and foremost, and then being a good person is a plus point," he added. "Talent never ceases. One way or another, you'll get there."
