Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat has opened up about behind-the-scenes fun on her drama sets and answered which of her co-stars has the “flirtiest” vibe during shoots.
Mehwish is currently in Texas where she is participating in the Pakistan Celebrity Cricket League (PCCL).
During an event, host Nida Yasir fired a series of rapid questions at her, including one by fans about which of her co-stars “flirts most often”.
She pointed out that Mehwish most frequently works with Humayun Saeed, Ahsan Khan, Fahad Mustafa and Azfar Rehman, asking which of the four is the biggest flirt. Before Mehwish could answer, people in the audience instantly shouted Humayun Saeed’s name.
Mehwish smiled and said, “Humayun does not flirt.”
“His nature is just like that. He jokes around all the time and creates a fun environment,” she said, adding that when she is on set with Humayun and director Nadeem Baig, a friendly “triangle” forms.
“We keep joking about who is closest to me. This fun banter goes on all the time. They are all like family friends to me,” Mehwish said.
The host then pushed her further and asked her to rank the four actors.
Mehwish did not hesitate.
“I would put Humayun first,” she said. She placed Ahsan Khan second and gave Fahad Mustafa the third spot. When asked about Azfar Rehman, she laughed and said, “He is my best friend.”
Mehwish remains one of Pakistan’s most popular and successful actresses, with several major hits to her name.
She earned wide praise for her performance in Punjab Nahi Jaungi (2017), which became one of the highest-grossing Pakistani films of its time. Her next big-screen project, Load Wedding (2018), also received critical acclaim and performed well at the box office.
Mehwish also starred in Actor in Law (2016), a commercially successful film that won Best Film at the Lux Style Awards.
In 2019, the government of Pakistan awarded her the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz for her contributions to cinema.
