Waqar Butt has been in the showbiz for more than three years now. His entry into the showbiz was a coincidence. According to Waqar, one day he was having dinner at a restaurant in Lahore when Rizwan Ali Jaffri (senior model) spotted him and encouraged him to join showbiz. And joining showbiz has brought him good luck. Waqar, who has participated in almost every major fashion week including PFDC, BCW and FPW, is now ready to venture into films. “There are some exciting shoots in the pipeline and looking forward to start my acting career from next year,” says Waqar. But for that you will have to wait. For now, let’s see what are his likes & dislikes:
