Popular actor Junaid Khan wants to work with Indian superstar Diljit Dosanjh and Bollywood playback artist Arijit Singh, calling them the best singers of the present era.

 

Khan, also known as a singer, appeared on the comedy program Gap Shab, where he discussed various aspects of his life and career.

 

He shared that although he holds a degree in mining engineering from abroad, he has never worked in the field. 

 

“I have never worked in mining and don’t desire to. I’ve been passionate about singing since childhood, which led me to pursue a career as a singer. Later, after appearing in my music videos, I developed an interest in acting,” he explained.

 

Khan recalled the early years of his acting career, stating, “Jawad Bashir offered me my first acting role as a musician, which I accepted. Over time, I’ve taken on various other roles.”

 

Sharing his admiration for films, he mentioned his love for action and comedy genres, and expressed his liking for actors from Bollywood: Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan. He also revealed “past” fondness for Indian actress Madhuri Dixit, and that he now likes Kiara Advani.

 

When asked about his preferences between singing and acting, Junaid Khan admitted that he finds more satisfaction in singing. “In acting, I perform on the instructions of others on a story written by someone else, so I find more comfort in singing,” he said.

 

Junaid Khan also expressed a desire to collaborate with Indian artists, reflecting on his past experiences with Indian projects.

 

“I have worked on several Indian projects in the past and have learned a lot [from the experience]. I still wish that the relations between the two countries would improve so that artists from both countries could support each other,” he shared.

 

He acknowledged the challenges posed by strained relations between India and Pakistan but also expressed a sense of hope. “Indian filmmakers want to cast Pakistani actors, and here, our artists and singers also want to work in India, but it’s impossible because of deteriorating relations between the two countries.”

 

While Junaid Khan continues to hope for improved relations between the two countries, he admitted “If given the chance, I would love to work with Diljit Dosanjh and Arijit Singh. Both are exceptional artists doing outstanding work.”
