While Maya Ali and Sheheryar Munawar, and Atiqa Odho and Nauman Ijaz recently wrapped up their fundraising tours, playwright Anwar Maqsood and veteran actor Adnan Siddiqui are presently in the US to generate funds for a noble cause.

Siddiqui took to social media and posted a picture with Maqsood, sharing that he has been associated with Indus Hospital as their brand ambassador for the noble cause of providing medical treatment free of cost.

There are times when it can be difficult to find the right words to say to someone who’s literally taught you from scratch, even if it’s just a few words of thank you to express how grateful you are towards that person. So this is how it all began. I was discovered by Anwar Maqsood Sahab whom I lovingly call, ‘Anwar Mamu’ many many years ago and I had the honour of acting in his play ‘Khwabon ki Zanjeer’ which he wrote for PTV. Then my first drama serial Uroosa happened. Post that, my first film was offered to me via him and we travelled from Karachi to Lahore together. I didn’t end up doing the film but that’s another story. I’ve always been grateful in my heart to Anwar Mamu for all that he is and for all the wisdom that he has imparted to me. I was looking forward to be a part of the Indus Hospital fund raiser but now this trip has an entirely different meaning and an enriching experience for me. On this trip I’m not only gaging his magnanimity, but I’m also seeing a different side of fandom where people are wanting to just catch a glimpse of him. I’ve always been in awe of his personality, but I’m more so now. There’s so much that I’m learning just by observing him and the way he makes people laugh on his wit and satire. His aura is magical and he has the ability of finding humour in the most crucial situations which has always amazed me. Anwar Mamu, thank you for being you and for all that you are to me. This trip with you will be the most cherished one of my life. . . . . #noble #fresno #memphis #initiative #indushospital #karachi #pakistan #calgary #humanity #service #free #treatment #patients #UK #april #charity #fundraiser #adnansiddiqui #actor #brandambassador #proud #US #LA #Washington #anwarmaqsood #trip # genuine #mentor #writer

“I’m coming to US for a fundraiser with Anwar Maqsood Sahab. Hoping to see you guys,” he added.

He also informed that while their trip begins from Las Vegas on April 5, followed by LA and Fresno on April 6 and 7, he shared that they plan to head to Memphis (April 12), San Antonio (April 14), Calgary (April 19), Canada and Washington DC. The tour comes to an end on April 20.

Currently in Anaheim, California, Siddiqui recently shared on his Instagram handle how honored he feels to be traveling with Maqsood for the cause, as the latter was the one to discover him and offer him his first role many years ago.

He posted: “I was looking forward to be a part of the Indus Hospital fundraiser but now this trip has an entirely different meaning and an enriching experience for me. On this trip I’m not only determining his generosity of spirit, but I’m also seeing a different side of fandom where people want to just catch a glimpse of him. I’ve always been in awe of his personality, but I’m more so now. There’s so much that I’m learning just by observing him and the way he makes people laugh on his wit and satire.
