Superstar Fawad Khan is not only Pakistan's favourite actor but also its most reclusive one as the notoriously private star doesn't use social media much except to promote his projects. 

 

During a recent appearance on a comedy show where Fawad was promoting his upcoming film release Neelofer with fellow A-lister Mahira Khan, the actor was asked by a fan, "Why don't we see you a lot on social media?" 

 

After the host cracked a joke about not having a Wi-Fi connection at home, Fawad told the fan, "I don't want to reply to this question because a lot of people are active on social media and they might get offended." 

 

He then went on to say, "I am just not fond of it [social media]. If I meet fans, if a fan wants to talk to me, I would love to talk to them with great happiness."

 

"Its the kind of thing that makes me think that I too might become addicted to social media. I would like to keep it out of my life," Fawad emphasised. 

 

The host then asked, "Is that why you stay away from it?" 

 

The actor then went to elaborate more seriously: "Yes. I am an emotional man. I feel that once you are active on social media, it becomes difficult to control yourself." 

 

His co-star Mahira, who was looking gorgeous in a pink sari that complimented Fawad's pink shawl, is an active social media user with 11.7million followers on Instagram. 

 

Neelofer will release on November 28 after being stuck in production for years. The film stars Fawad, Mahira and Madeeha Imam. Fawad also serves as co-producer while the highly anticipated romantic film is written and directed by Adnan Rasool.
