Fawad Khan has never appeared on Hasna Mana Hai, and Tabish Hashmi knows why
Fawad Khan, one of Pakistan’s biggest stars, has not appeared on the hit comedy show Hasna Mana Hai, but there is a reason why. Host Tabish Hashmi opened up about why the Humsafar actor hasn’t joined him on the show.
While giving an interview to Independent Urdu, Tabish explained the real reason behind Fawad Khan's absence and revealed the kind of guests he prefers on his show.
"Do Pakistani actors ask for too much money? Why hasn’t Fawad Khan appeared on your show yet," Tabish was asked.
He replied, “Fawad Khan hasn’t come on my show, no, absolutely not. Big artists don’t become small by coming on my show. Fawad Khan is a big artist. Many people love him, and he's mainstream, but I feel Fawad Khan is a serious person.”
Hashmi went on to explain that he prefers his guests to be lively and match the energy of his show Hasna Mana Hai.
“On my show, I try to make sure the guests are bubbly and match my energy, if I feel like I have to be too formal with the guest, or if I can’t ask certain questions and have to keep it serious, then it doesn’t suit the vibe of the show. It's not about the guest or how grand they are, or whether they are big or small. The show has its own value, and my job is to make sure it's always the best, whether the guest is big or not," he explained.
The comedian then talked about fame and money: “When a person establishes their career, they are left with two things: First, where can they get the opportunity to do the work they're doing in a better way? Second, where can they get more money for their work?”
Tabish Hashmi talked about how mainstream media has more power than social media.
“Social media has a limited audience, meaning only a specific kind of person will watch you, and only a specific group of people will like you. Mainstream media or mass media is different in that anyone from any social or economic class knows you and recognizes you, whether you're standing on the street or in a big building. The influence you have, the feeling of power, is greater in mainstream media," he concluded.
Hasna Mana Hai airs on Geo Entertainment from Friday to Sunday.
