Here to stay
By Maliha Mansoor
Getting a super start to his acting career with his debut venture and that too, at the age of fourteen, Faisal Rehman has come a long way in the three decade span of his showbiz career; but he feels there is many a mile to go still…… Here, in an all exclusive talk with HUMSAY, we unearth a facet of Rehman very rarely exposed to the media.
“The two things I always wanted to do from childhood were travelling and joining the Foreign Service†Faisal Rehman reveals, lounging back comfortably in his chair in the lawn of the house where he is busy shooting a comedy serial. But, obviously fate had other plans for him as he was thrown into showbiz while still at school.
“I got an opportunity to work in the film ‘Nahin Abhi Nahin’ – an extraordinary film that shocked people with its extremely out-of-the ordinary theme for the early ’80s – mainly because of the fact that my father was a respected cinematographer in the industry with films like ‘Heer Ranjha’ and ‘Dosti’ to his credit. I didn’t look at it as a career-making move, and in fact, had taken it for granted that this would be a one-timer and the chapter would be closed at its completion. I did not, in my wildest dreams, imagine that it would mark the beginning of a career that would stay with me these thirty years.â€
With his characteristic dimpled smile, Rehman goes on to narrate how difficult it was for him to cope with studies and a career which though incidentally thrust upon him, had got him so involved that he couldn’t disengage himself. “My school – St Anthony’s – was a strictly Irish Brother Order and all my shootings were scheduled so I didn’t miss school even one day. The same schedule continued till I graduated – mind you, with flying colours!– from F.C College, Lahore.â€
Faisal Rehman and Deepti Gupta in Malal
Although a difficult feat to achieve, not only did Rehman excel in his studies, he also became a roaring success on screen, performing in hit films such as ‘Yeh Zamana Aur Hai’, ‘Nadani’, ‘Love Story’ and ‘Doorian’. But in spite of numerous hits both on the silver screen, and in subsequent years, on the mini-screen, it is his debut movie that remains to date the foremost identification of his acting career.

It all started with drama and drama is what it’s all about. Whether it is news, current affairs, music, children’s programmes, documentaries or plays, all have their dramatic moments. Drama can begin from any real life event and can culminate in a tragic or a happy ending while traversing a path of a series of events like action, interaction, humour (comic relief), villainy and goodness of characters living through life and depicted as fiction. Keeping in mind that truth is stronger than fiction, we can safely assume that the stories narrated through the genre of drama or the literary style of the story teller (the writer) in form of a play have their base in real life just waiting for the observing eye, the understanding and assimilating mind and the sensitive heart to pen the same through nature’s most creative tool – the hand. It’s the script that is enacted by the players under direction which gives us, what we call drama – same applying in the political scenario as well.
Drama was and still is the main attraction for a majority of viewers. GEO, while introducing various, innovative and trend-setting programmes on current and human interest topics never lost sight of this fact and is today giving its viewers the best of plays and are going strong in the field of drama category.
Barish Kay Ansoo (BKA)is an engrossing story evolving from the backdrop of our showbiz world – specifically television production. It is about a local writer Bina. Our writer meets a TV director of a local channel, Asim, with a proposal for a drama serial which is approved. While working together on the serial they fall in love and get married. Sunder Kaur aka Shahla, a Sikh heroine, is invited from across a neighbouring country. She stays at Asim’s and Bina’s home and when production begins Asim’s maximum time is spent with Shahla. Bina in her effort to be recognised, gives ideas, towards the production but is put down by Asim who tells her to mind the gharaeloo affairs which is a wife’s domain. Shahla gets closer to Asim as she sees him as a stepping stone to stardom whereas Asim has genuinely and really fallen in love with her. Bina hasn’t been able to conceive so Asim, making this the reason, marries Surender Kaur (Shahla). Another twist comes when Asim’s father Salman, owner of the city’s biggest ad agency, whose wife Zinia (Asim’s mother) has spent her married life feeling inferior to him, meets Soofia – daughter of his manager. Soofia is a homely and hard working girl. Salman asks his manager for her hand in marriage which his manager agrees to very happily but life is not that easy. What is to come – the dramatic twists and turns, let’s wait and see. Asif Raza Mir, Saba Hameed, Faisal Qureshi, Maria Wasti, Irum Akhtar, Humayun Naz are the players portraying the characters which have been created by Mohammed Asif, the writer and directed by Barkat Ali Siddiqui. Producer of this near to life drama is Mehboob Tanvir Ajmi. The drama has made a promising start. Stay tuned and you are sure to enjoy the happening serial.
While another noteworthy drama serial is Malal which is being aired on one of the many private channels. This channel too, has proved to come up with sure winners in the drama category. Malal has been written by Umaira Ahmed, directed by Mehreen Jabbar and produced by Momina Duraid. The story characters are played by Faisal Rehman, Imran Abbas, Sarwat Gillani, Shamim Hilali and Deepti (rhymes deliciously with Hi-tea) can be seen every Friday at prime time. Mehreen Jabbar has made a comeback after quite some time and you can be sure of the fact that where there is Mehreen, dusky Deepti’s bound to be there. A good actor for sure, but again we have plenty of good actors in Pakistan also. Then why bring them in from across the border?
This gripping serial revolves around Zinia (not the Zinia in BKA but another character of the same name) and Danish who are close friends of fifteen years, living in the US. Danish goes to Pakistan to visit his mother, and agrees to get married to his young cousin, Mahi, at his mother’s insistence. When Zinia learns of his marriage, she becomes extremely upset. Meanwhile, she meets Jawad, who she later learns is Mahi’s cousin, and who becomes interested in her. They begin to meet frequently, which upsets Danish, and the realisation that his wife is immature does not help their relationship either. What happens next is for the makers to know and you to find out. Happy viewing.
