Renowned actor Gohar Rashid had an interesting reaction to being called “underrated”.
Recently, he appeared as a guest on Jawad Bashir’s show. “Some people say that Gohar Rasheed is an ‘underrated’ actor, and the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear this is that it’s better to be ‘underrated’ than ‘overrated’,” he stated.
“I should first be told what ‘underrated’ means and what the standard is to measure an actor’s success,” he added.
He questioned whether an actor’s success is based on the number of followers or their work. “If it’s work, then I’ve contributed,” he said.
Gohar Rasheed also asked, “If I’m not ‘underrated’ in terms of my work, how many millions or billions of followers do I need, or how famous do I have to be to be considered successful?”
He further said, “If success depends only on the number of followers, then the actor’s artistry and honesty with his work will be left far behind.”
