Pakistani actor Fawad Khan is not only mingling with the right people (Karan Johar, Aamir Khan etc) in India, but is also striking the right pose.

To elucidate, the actor has become perhaps the first Pakistani showbiz personality to appear on the cover of reputed Indian magazine Filmfare, albeit with Sonam Kapoor. Naturally, the shoot is to do with his much-talked about movie, Khoobsurat. Still, making it to the Filmfare cover is no mean feat. We only hope that while posing for magazine shutterbugs, he doesn’t opt for the Veena Malik way. If you know what I mean.

One more thing: Fawad K claims his wife is not insecure about him. Sure, she isn’t. You don’t have to say that, mister.
