DUBAI: Pakistani actors Sajal Aly, Fahad Mustafa, and Humayun Saeed were honored at the Filmfare Middle East Achievers Night in Dubai for their work in the entertainment industry.
In his acceptance speech, Mustafa said that it was Bollywood star Govinda who first made him want to act. He also ran off the stage and hugged and shook hands with the actor who played “Coolie No. 1.”
On Saturday, Aly won Most Popular Face of Pakistani Cinema, Saeed won Trendsetter of Pakistani Cinema, and Mustafa won Promising Star of Pakistan. Saeed talked about his win and how he might go to India in his speech. Aly thanked him for giving her a chance to act and for believing in her. While the actor from “Quad-e-Azam Zindabad” gave a speech to Govinda,
“This is an honor, whether the actor is from Pakistan or India. We all worked on our speeches so we could give them at Filmfare. I can’t do better than that, by the way. Sajal, you did a great job. “We are your fans, and in Pakistan we always thought that if we had to act a certain way, it had to be like you, but then Ranveer came along,” Mustafa said.
He also said that he feels lucky to be on the same stage as Govinda and asked the crowd to cheer for the star. He said, “I hope Pakistan and India work together again to do good things.”
Not only was Mustafa seen with big names in Bollywood, but Aly was also seen talking to Janhvi Kapoor before she went on stage.
