Us had a conversation with Muneeb ...

1- What does success mean to you?

Success is a subjective term. To you it might be something else and to me it might mean something else. I am still in search for it. Currently, I strive on making tomorrow better than today.

2- Something you learned early in your career?

The world is ruthless, not just a field or any particular industry.

3- Did you get any formal education for this career?

Yes, I am a graduate from Napa and I believe that has shaped a lot in me. Majorly because of the experience and exposure.

4- Do you believe good looks and connections are the only things that make a star?

Yes! But if you want to be a shining star, you will have to be more than just pretty and well-connected!

5- How has social media changed things for you?

It has indeed made things more complicated because of how easy it is.

6- The funniest thing or gossip you have heard about yourself

That I have attitude issues. But in reality, I am very sound, sensible and considerate human. Maybe some of this goes against my vibe.

7-Reflecting on your career, what lessons have you learned and how have they helped you evolve?

You have to stay in game to win the game.

8- How do you deal with self doubt?

I practice.

9- Advice for aspiring actors.

You are a star, SHINE!
