Faysal Quraishi has never shied away from experimenting with his roles, which makes him one of the most versatile Pakistani actors of the current lot. This time around too, his fans will be absolutely delighted when they watch his latest show. Ready to entertain the audience in an all new avatar, the actor will be seen as character Aashiq Hussain in a brand new TV series of the same name, to begin airing on ARY Digital this March 2015.
News of the show Aashiq Hussain spread like wildfire on social media, owing largely to Faysal Quraishi’s official facebook page where behind-the-scenes pictures from the shooting of the show, were posted. Moustache, unruly hair, color blocked wardrobe – everything about his new Aashiq Hussain character is the opposite of what audiences are used to seeing Faysal as in various other roles he has played in the past. The initial revealed plot informed the audience that Aashiq Hussain is a jolly character who cannot help falling in love with every woman he sees. However, instead of being a Casanova or sleazy, Aashiq likes marrying the women he starts fancying. This of course results in him having a couple of wives who are unaware of each other’s existence.
The first promos of the show are out and caused quite a stir on social media. In one of the trailers, viewers get a chance to see Aashiq being doted on by his mother (portrayed by his real life mother Afshan Qureshi). Having his heart set on actress Saima, he proposes to her however she is not that enthusiastic about the proposal. In the second promo, we are shown a glimpse of his other wives played by actresses Zhalay Sarhadi and Neelam Munir. Both promos capture the rustic locations of Karachi beautifully, and every actor looks authentic in their part. The unique styling is very eye-catching and the music is foot-tapping.
