Fahad Mustafa's return to television after 10 years with Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has been a massive hit. The serial has enthralled audiences across the globe, creating a fanatic fan base.
One moment that fans can’t stop talking about is the iconic "shirt scene".
Fahad portrayed Mustafa, a character with a funky and laid back fashion sense. A unique twist in the story delighted viewers when his on screen wife, Sharjeena, began borrowing his oversized shirts to wear at home.
During a recent appearance on Something Haute hosted by Hassan Choudhry, Fahad Mustafa revealed the story behind the iconic shirt scene from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.
The host asked, “The idea of creating highly realistic characters and showing Hania and you switching outfits, whose idea was that?”
Fahad replied, “You know, intimacy has its own heights, we’re quite restricted when it comes to television, and many scenes that we showcased were innocent and very cute. There wasn’t a cringe worthy moment or anything that would make you feel uncomfortable.”
“We thought, what could be the height of romance? If you’re truly in love with someone, what would you do, but then again, how could we show that? We can’t dance or do much else here. I think the maximum we could do was hold hands, and that’s about it," he observed.
The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor shared how the beloved shirt scene came to life.
“There’s a scene where she comes out of the bathroom, and I ask her, ‘What are you doing?’ We decided to just play with it. What I liked most was how the audience connected. If you show them things that happen to them or things that are normal, that’s where the romance lies. Romance isn’t about descending from helicopter with flowing hair,” Fahad Mustafa laughingly said.
In the same interview, he also talked about his favorite scene from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.
Talking about his favorite scene from Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum, Fahad Mustafa said, “The scene between Sharjeena and Mustafa that I like the most is the last scene, I really love that scene, and no one could have made that last scene, no one could have thought of it, no one could have created it.”
The Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actor didn’t hold back when talking about the hurdles he faced as a producer and actor. He expressed frustration about how money often overshadows the creative process.
“I was a bit angry during the production of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. When I talked to anyone, all they were focused on was how much money they will make. I know that I would earn a lot of money from this drama, a lot of money, but it's not about money. In any project, you have to be fully involved. If it doesn’t make any difference, there's no benefit," Fahad said
