Abbas Ashraf Awan, the younger brother of famous actor Imran Ashraf, shared how being a celebrity sibling has its ups and downs.  

Speaking on PTV Home’s morning show Subha-e-Pakistan, Abbas explained how his brother’s name helps and challenges him. Host Muhammad Shoaib asked if being Imran Ashraf’s brother benefits or harms his career. 

 
 Abbas replied, “It harms me because people expect me to be extraordinary. The benefit is that his name is linked to mine, but I still have to give auditions. The only real advantage is being called his brother.”

Abbas also shared details of his struggles in the industry: "I am working on two projects now, but it took a year for a writer, whom Imran Bhai had suggested my name to, to offer me a role. Even then, I had to pass auditions and screen tests to get the part.”

The Sabaat actor feels proud of his achievements.  “I didn’t use any connections to get work. Getting selected through auditions means a lot to me as an actor,” he said.  

Fans know Abbas from dramas like Sabaat and Wo Ziddi Si and look forward to his future projects.
