Pakistani Actors Have Attitude, Indians Are Friendly: Faysal Quraishi

Actor Faysal Quraishi praised Indian actors as friendly and welcoming in his recent podcast. He recalled attending a major event for Salman Khan’s unofficial organization, Being Human, to which both Pakistani and Indian actors were invited.

“I was surprised when we met Indian actors. The first encounter was with Sohail Khan and Sunil Shetty, who were at the gym. They started talking to me like we were childhood friends,” he shared.

Quraishi went on to describe meetings with Salman Khan, Chunky Pandey, and Javed Jaffrey, noting that “all were very nice, asking for pictures.” Reflecting on the experience, he said, “Indian actors were having a lot of fun, and I noticed a bit of arrogance among our Pakistani actors, while Indian actors were very friendly. We were a little surprised by their warm welcome.”
