Actor Hamza Ali Abbasi recently showed his humorous side in a podcast segment where he was asked what he would do if he woke up as different Pakistani celebrities.
From teasing Humayun Saeed about his fitness routine to praising Fawad Khan’s charm and Mahira Khan’s acting, Hamza’s answers had fans smiling throughout.
When the host asked what he would do if he woke up as Humayun Saeed, Hamza instantly replied, “I’d go to the gym first thing. Because I know his biggest issue is that he can’t stay consistent with the gym.”
Moving on to Fawad Khan, Hamza admitted there wasn’t much he would change if he woke up as him. “If I were Fawad, what would I do? Actually, I wouldn’t do anything. Fawad doesn’t need to do much, just waking up as he is, that’s fine,” he said with a smile. “I’d just keep looking at myself; he’s fine in that regard. His body’s fine too.”
The actor also shared what he would do if he woke up as singer Atif Aslam. “I’d start by singing something in the morning so that it benefits me and also the birds chirping outside could feel it a bit too,” Hamza joked. “So I’d start my day by singing.”
When asked about Hania Aamir, Hamza praised her recent achievements and said, “If I were Hania, then I’d be planning a trip to Sri Lanka next because she represented Pakistan so well in Bangladesh. Mashallah. So I’d plan to represent Pakistan somewhere else.”
Finally, talking about Mahira Khan, Hamza’s tone turned thoughtful. “If I were Mahira, then I think I’d be asking for a new drama script because she needs to do more dramas,” he said. “Actually, even if I were Fawad, I’d say, we should give our TV screens a little lift. Because our TV really needs superstars like Fawad and Mahira.”
Hamza added that Mahira continues to work in television, but he hopes Fawad will return to the small screen soon. “If Fawad starts doing TV in Pakistan, it would be a great service to Pakistani television,” he concluded.
Hamza Ali Abbasi is best known for his roles in the blockbuster film The Legend of Maula Jatt and the hit drama Pyaray Afzal.
He also released his book My Discovery of God, Islam & Judgement Day in 2024.
In this work he explores his journey from atheism back to Islam and presents a rational inquiry into belief, the nature of the Creator and the concept of accountability on the Day of Judgement.
