Yeah right! Pakistani musician-cum-actor Fawad Khan, who is these days enjoying the limelight in India, says Bollywood was never on his to-do list.

In an interview he claimed that he was content with what he was doing in Pakistan, but things changed when he received a call from the casting director of the film Khoobsurat, after which he was sent the script for the project along with a DVD of the movie’s old version. The next thing he knew he was in Mumbai getting involved in reading sessions with the svelte fashionista Sonam Kapoor. He also confessed that while he was enjoying all the adulation (particularly coming from the fair sex) he’s a bit nervous about his performance.

You should be, Fawad K. Showbiz is a fickle industry.
