Pakistani actor Sami Khan appeared as a guest on Samaa’s morning show and spoke about how he got into the industry.
He said that he wanted to become a host and auditioned for it but they ended up selecting him for the film Salakhein.
His family was not into acting so he dropped his final semester exams, lied to his father that he was staying in a hostel for studies, and went to Hunza for sooting. His mother knew about it and supported him.
His father knew but waited for Sami to tell him about the project. He also told Sami Khan to pursue acting on his own and that he would not give him any support. Sami worked for a decade after that to prove himself and finally did it.
He finally made his father proud and became a star.
