you & me

Farhan Ahmed Malhi’s talent couldn’t be ignored when he dabbled into showbiz in the year 2014 initially as a VJ and model. After a year, he spread his wings with a smooth transition into acting. His implausible passion for the craft brought him a picture-perfect debut with serial Kaise Tum Se Kanhon. After the acting bug bit, he evolved into one of the most desirable young actors who accepted diverse roles and exigent characters to prove his versatility. This valor brought him sundry string of alluring projects like Tumhari Natasha, Kathputli, Shahrnaz, Hiddat, Shiza, Kaisa hai Naseeban, Piya Naam Ka Diya among others. Unlike other actors of his league, Farhan is blessed with an astute understanding as how to reinvent himself through varied characters and that is clearly evident in his sterling performance as Akeel in Geo's serial Udaan. In the play, he aced several layers of his character; from shrewdness of a playboy to helplessness of a widow’s son, from portraying the sorrow and the dejection of a brother to the ultimate exhilaration of a true lover, he made the serial a must watch. Being a hardcore fitness freak, he observes a rigorous fitness regimen as he believes in ‘strength within, pride throughout’. An MBA from National College of Business Administration & Economics, Lahore, Farhan with a number of mighty projects under his belt, is steering his career towards the expressway and going strength to strength with his path breaking performances.
