Karachi: Pakistan’s leading actor and model has broken her silence on facing abusive behavior in the industry.
Shuja Asad was a guest on a magazine’s YouTube show where he recounted being humiliated during auditions for various production houses due to his unusual teeth.
Talking in the interview, the actor said that I used to go for auditions where the team members would tell me that your teeth are not right and do not look good. The drama team employees used to throw such phrases at me and hence they ignored me and respected other actors.
He said that I had to go through such a period when I was fat too. I lost weight and then I got braces on my teeth and because of that I couldn’t even smile. There are many things I cannot tell you about.
It should be noted that Shuja Asad started his career as a lead actor with Neelam Munir in the drama serial ‘Pyaar Dewangi Hai’. He is currently seen in the drama serial Brandish 2. Shuja has also appeared in several popular television commercials. The actor is being appreciated by critics and drama audiences while his latest project is College Gate for Green Entertainment.
