Ahad Raza

you & me

Ahad Raza Mir comes across as a hope for Pakistan's entertainment industry at a time when a very few new age actors take their work seriously. Ahad, son of veteran actor Asif Raza Mir, is not only passionate about what he does but is also eager to learn from his surroundings. After working as a theatre artist in Canada for several years, the young powerhouse recently moved to Pakistan and began with his acting career here. And in a rather short span of time, he has carved out a niche for himself with multiple big productions to his credit. He made his debut in the local industry with popular social drama 'Sammi', followed by 'Yakeen Ka Safar' which is currently on air while the actor is also gearing up for his first big screen project 'Parwaaz Hai Junoon'. We are sure Ahad is going to make it big due to his incredible range as an actor and his passion for the art of acting. This week You! finds out about Ahad’s likes & dislikes...
