Hasan Khan

you & me

With his good looks and acting abilities, model-turned-actor Hasan Khan is fast making his place in our showbiz industry. Hasan, who completed his graduation from Iqra University, started his showbiz journey back in 2014.

Things in his life changed when superstar Fahad Mustafa (who used to share the same gym where he was a member too) motivated Hasan to start his acting career. Taking the legend’s advice seriously and taking a leap, he got himself registered with Citrus talent and offers of TVCs, DVCs and shoots started coming thick and fast. Some of his commercials included Pepsi, Head & Sholulder with Sajal Ali, Samsung with Mahira Khan, Q Mobile, and Bank Alfalah etc.

In 2015, he got the honour to share screen with former cricketer Waseem Akram in a shoot, who after watching his performance, appreciated his talent and suggested him to hone his skills through acting classes. Hasan therefore headed to National Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA) and enrolled himself in a three-year acting diploma course. At NAPA, he had the opportunity to learn from the finest teachers such as Talat Hussain, Rahat Kazmi, and late Zia Mohyeddin. There he got to act in more than 50 theater plays including ‘Jaloos’, ‘Crash Landing’ etc. He also showed his acting skills in ‘Romeo & Juliet’, a theatre play directed under the direction of legendary Zia Mohyeddin.

In 2018, Hasan made a smooth transition to acting, making his debut with a lead role in ‘Soya Mera Nasseeb’. Later, he rendered notable performances and consolidated his position in the industry with serials like ‘Soteli Mamta’; ‘Dil-e-Veeran’; ‘Ant-ul-Hayat’; ‘Mohabat Zindagi Hai’ and telefim ‘Judwan’. Despite portraying supporting roles in dramas, Hasan has proved himself in a short span of time with his remarkable acting skills. Currently, he is browsing three different scripts to choose the best ones where he could display his versatility. Let’s see what are the likes and dislikes of this charming and talented actor…
