Emmad Irfani made everyone sigh as the loving, supportive husband Shayan in the superhit Cheekh. While we are yet to see Emmad grace our screens once again, the model turned actor took a trip down the memory lane and recalled the moment that changed his life.

Sharing an eight-year old picture of himself with Mahira Khan and director Asim Raza, Emmad wrote, “What happened next is what I call #theturningpoint.” The picture was taken on January 4, 2012.

In response, Asim commented that the change only came about because Emmad made an effort. Asim also offered more words of encouragement to the actor.

The picture is from the sets of an ad shoot for Tapal Family Mixture.
