Zuhab Khan, who started acting as a child star, has grown up on Pakistani TV screens while working on numerous projects. Recently, he underwent a beard transplant, which caused a stir on social media.

In a conversation on Ayaz Samoo’s show, he shared, “I opted for the transplant because I’m at an age where I’m not offered child roles anymore and not yet considered for leading adult roles. Taking a year-long break for the beard was necessary for my career progression. I aim to have a beard for future projects when I’m offered hero roles.”

Zuhab also opened up about facing rejections in dramas due to his appearance. He revealed that he had to face issues due to his lack of facial hair. “Being turned down for four projects because I lacked the required ‘hero-like’ beard. This was disappointing, especially as I was close to signing one of the projects. These experiences led me to make decisions about my future,” he said.
