You have to give them their due -- Balaji Telefilms knows how to create a star! This time it is from our neighbouring country Pakistan.
Yasir Shah the latest star-in-the-making from the Balaji camp is all set to get a strong foothold in Bollywood. The two-time winner of Best Stylish Person in Karachi, Shah has been modelling for four years now. He has been working with the Balaji-ARY (a Pakistani channel) joint venture show -- Kwaish.
"I got to know of an audition for the role of Azaam in the serial and took part in it. To my joy, I got selected for the serial, which was being telecast on Sony till recently. God knows why they have taken this off air," says a dejected Shah. "But that does not mean that I am going to return to my country for good. I am going to fight it out here. I am very thankful to Balaji Productions. They are taking care of me completely and providing everything -- from my apartment to my car. I have also been selected for another serial for Balaji," says a grateful Shah.
Before the shooting for the new serial starts, Shah is taking a break and wants to visit his hometown.
"I am buying loads of sarees for my relatives! In fact when I first decided to come to India for this serial, my parents were a bit worried," says Shah. "But now they are content and happy, albeit after some time!"
Apparently, Anju Mahendra (his co-star in Kwaish) had arranged for a preliminary meeting with Mahesh Bhatt. "I am extremely positive about this, and am looking forward to working with Vishesh Films."
