you & me
Born and raised in Karachi, heartthrob Bilal Abbas Khan made his acting debut in 2016 with his hit TV serial, ‘Dumpukht’. The budding actor was then cast in the movie ‘Thora Jee Le’ in 2017, which eventually became his claim to fame. While the film didn’t do well at the box office and saw a major wrath of the critics, Khan’s work did not go unnoticed. He also picked up positive reviews for his role in the 2017’s TV play ‘Rasm e Duniya’ opposite Armeena Khan, while also making waves for his role as Qasim in ‘O Rangreza’ alongside Sajal Aly. However, Bilal’s career path was not as smooth sailing as it may sound, “I started my career by going to various auditions. I’ll be honest, I had to struggle a lot,” says Khan humbly. But, who knew, that Khan’s efforts would pay off and he would achieve success in such a short span of time. This dreamboat has also been the face of numerous brands including ‘Chocolatto’ and ‘Furor’. He has been seen on ramps at several fashion shows too. The talented artist was last seen in this year’s drama serial ‘Qurban’ and has left us wondering when will we see him on-screen again.
