The funny part is that majority of the Indians are not even aware that he is Pakistani. It is assumed he is from the same school of body such as Sharukh, Salman and Amir Khan. Most Indian don't know that tragedy king Dileep Kumar aks Yusuf Khan or such fine actors such as Kader Khan are Pakistani.

Well I liked him better when he was in the epic band EP(Entity Paradigm) Those were the good old days.

If Fawad Khan is fifth best actor in india - then what about "Junior Side Actors" like Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan,Saif Ali Khan,Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Imran Khan,Abhay Deol,Abhishek Bachchan etc. - any explanation ??

Yeah check demographics which voted Sheesh I like Sallu bug even I know his acting range is limited ...in that list i say best actor ? Maybe priyanka chopra for the different type of roles irrespective of her real life personality Overall entertainers maybe but acting ........

@Amir Indian hold on! Akshay Kumar and Salman khan are ahead of him in that list. Now why he is ahead of the rest, better you ask Indian ladies who like him like anything. You may underestimate and ignore your women in other walks of life but here is their force which speaks of volumes and you can't stop them. :)

Fawad Khan who?

@Nawed_ haha - appreciate your knowledge.Dilip kumar was born in Peshawar but made India his home. Even Raj kapoor was born in peshawar. As for Kader don't think he has any links with pak

Started to watch "Khoobsoorat". Had to turn it off in 20 minutes. Horrible Sonam Kapoor, horrible Fawad Khan, and horrible everything. About being best actor, he has a very very long way to go. The only Pakistani artist I have liked so far is Rahat Fateh Ali - who is one cut above any present Indian male singer. Rafi, of course, is untouchable.

Well, I just completed watching his TV serial "Jindagi Gulzar hai! what an amazing actor Fawad khan is! Respect Sir!

Articles must be written by someone who is a big fan of Fawad otherwise this is not a news or something to be flattered about. Pakistanis should aspired to be number one not fifth.

fawad khan who??????

Brilliant, congratulations, indeed a pride for the country,

Pay money to any brand managers and they will make you famous. No one knows how these ratings are done and what is the validity of the process.

@Amit Kumar pls watch out for his serial 'Humsafar' which is far ahead of 'Jindagi Guljar hai' :)

Never heard his name...and fifth best in india? Kader khan, dilip kumar, etc's families had a choice between india and Pakistan during the partition, and they chose to stay in india. They are indian not pakistani. Just as my father was born in karachi but he was never pakistani...

@Sonal great answer

What a joke!!

@Nawed_ That's call India, we judge people on talent not on their CAST/Religion or their birth place

Sir, please do not mislead the gullible people for Pakistan. Fawad Khan has acted only in Khoobsurat. Thats is just one movie and that too flopped. It barely managed to recover its money. There are hundreds of surveys of Bollywood ranking on a monthly basis. Why don't you quote the Filmfare Survey, the Stardust Survey or the Cine Association survey? By picking out one random survey which we have not even heard of, you are fooling the Pakistani people. You are leading them to believe that one guy who was a TV star in Pakistan suddenly crossed the border and is now competing with The Khans and the Kapoors. I request you…please do not selectively quote and mislead the Pakistani public. Pakistani friends, Fawad is a great actor and we love him. But acting is like food. Its perception. You may like someone, I may not..and vice versa. The best barometer is something that you can count, like box office collections. As far as Fawad is concerned, the day he has ten or fifteen movies released with most of them hits, then maybe he can aspire to stardom.

Now tats too much.U c india isnt juz bollywood which included salman sharukh etc.V hv big south indian industry wer v hv big south indian actors n directors and no offence meant but they wnt even knw who fawad is.He might b popular amongst handful of hindi speakn n hindi movie watchers but not whole india.

@Nawed_ - You are doing exactly what the writer of this piece has done. You are misleading the people of Pakistan. Dilip Kumar is an Indian. He has lived in India all his life. He may have been born in Peshawar. But then Deepika Padukone was born in Denmark. We don't have the Danes claiming Deepika. They may not even have heard of her. Kader Khan has nothing to do with Pakistan. Please don't claim the success of people just because you assume they have a connection with Pakistan. Have you heard of Mumait Khan, Huma Khan etc? They are also Pakistani. Care to claim them?

@Nawed_ - Sir, everyone is aware that Fawad is a Pakistani. Please stop claiming Dilip Kumar and Kader Khan. Shaan is a Pakistani, Ali Zafar is a Pakistani. The rest are Indians.

Who Fawad Khan? Only Khan I know is Irfan Khan followed by Amir Khan.

Dil ko khush karne ko ye bhi khyal accha h :)

Good to know Fawad Khan 's stock has risen to No 5. He was good in Khoobsoorat, but No. 2 to the heroine, who was far more effervescent. Good debut for him. All the best.

@Rafi Ka Deewana do you think he is better than Sonu Nigam? Ask Rahat to sing the variety that Sonu sings and you will know. Rahat is an exceptional singer of one genre. Sonu can sing anything better than anyone. You should know if you are a true Rafi fan.

At least ali zafar and fawad have seen that how people from different religion, cast, region and language work togethor in bollywod with mutual respect and co- ordination for a single goal..

Who is this Fawad ? What is this TimesCelebex ? This guy is known to none in India other than some circle in Mumbai

@Abbas khan Thanks Abbas! this is my next to do list on weekends! :) I got to know about JGH through Jindagi channel in India but could not get a chance to see them so I decided to watch it on you tube. I must say that this is such a classic and one of best tv serials that I have ever watched. . I was so moved by each character especially Kashaf Murtuza, her mom, and Zaroon. The best part of the serial is the fact that no matter whoever watches it, falls in love with this serial. Each one of us could relate to the different characters in some ways. Kashaf's Mom was so impressive in her role and the way she played her character that at times I felt she is just like my Mom. I wish if we could teach our children more of moral science than maths and physics at their young age then this world would become a better place. I pray to god for a happy and prosperous India and Pakistan.

Yeah that is true. But, Who is Fawad Khan?

The survey was awesome. Fawad Khan is actually better than Amitabh Bachchan, Amir Khan, Shahid Kapoor,Ajay Devgan, Anil Kapoor, Govinda. Sounds funny to me.

@Nawed_ sorry who told you people dont know about Dilip Kumar as Yousuf Khan? that is your prejudice. who told you Kader Khan is Pakistani? what a load of ignorance? If you mean he was born in what is today Pakistan then I dont know how to reason with you. tbh I dont know who is Fawad Khan. But I am sure he must be good if he is recognized.

@Brijesh P Very funny! I admire your sense of humor. Or did you drop in unintentionally to a Pakistani newspaper website?

I can not believe that some of us can just not be happy without arguing. I think Fawad Khan is a wonderful actor and those of us who have seen zindagi gulzar hey will appreciate this. It doesn't matter whether he is a Pakistani or Indian because a good actor is a good actor and a bad actor is a bad actor. But to make a mark in another country has been a big achievement for him and I thank India for giving him this opportunity and I am sure that Bollywood will make a lot of money out of this too because remember that this is a business .We as countries buy IT talent, medical talent,sports talent and much more from other countries so why not acting talent. I would love Sharukh Khan and Amitabh jee to come to Pakistan to make a movie.SAlaams to all my Pakistani and Indian brothers from a very real Pakistani.

Who are the other four Khans?

Parineeti Chopra who?

I watch that movie its a Disney movie for children like Cinderella stores..........I dont think he is that good to be in 5 position......

Performance of Fawad Khan in his first movie should be compared with performance of each Great Indian actor in their first movie. Fawad Khan deserves better ranking.

@Rohan Singh so Fawad Khan better than Rajnikant?

Who is this fawada khan?? what is his work profile?

Who is he? In which movie he worked? Regarding somebody mentioned that we dont know dilip kumar n rest of talented Pakistani or Pakistan born actors are completely unaware of Indians craze n knowledge for movies.

@Nawed_How did Dilip Kumar and Kader Khan become Pakistani???? They are Indian citizens although they are Pathans. I am surprized that the Times Celebex rankings would rank an actor on the basis of one or two films. What about people like Naseeruddin Shah or Om Puri, who have spent a lifetime in acting???

This is actually a joke. Try putting Ranger Kapok or Amir Khan against Fagan Khan and see the buzz becoming fuss. Anyways I have one question- how can be act with Sony Kapoor. That film khoobsurat was bound to fail and it failed on Indian box office (no ballyhooed film goes into loss BTW). She is so sonar Kapoor that sometimes I feel that she is the best sonam Kapoor of India. Yes sonam Kapoor is an adjective - which means to be an utterly bad actor and be consistent at being bad film after film like abhishek Bachman but on larger scale

@Nawed_ how dilip kumar aur kadar khan are pakistani? They chose to remain in India and are Indian..stop calling every famous Indian Muslim a Pakistani..

@Abbas khan we like fawad khan as he's a decent actor and a dignified personality, but we still like our actors more

@Rohan Singh hope this is sarcasm

@Amir Indian its a popular celeb of the month list. The indian ladies put him in that place. Perhaps ask that question from them indian ladies...maybe..??!

@Indian you are right. By that standard on best acting list nana patekar should be number 1 and irfan khan should be 2...dhanush 3...amitabh could be either 4 or 5 or naseeruddin shah...fawad would still make the list even if at 100. Not sure about all the kapoors and khaans and deols making in the list though ..i guess acting list needs talent and versatility to qualify.. :P

@Jamal Syed - About Sonu Nigam singing Rafi's song. He may have sung a few good songs, but to be honest, he just can't convey Rafi's emotions - not even close. I typically skip most Rafi songs sung by Sonu. Can't stand them. On the contrary, the female singer quality is much better starting with Alka, Shreya, and Sunidhi. Male singers are way below par. Whatever Rahat sings sounds good, but, yes, he is not an all-season singer.

@Gaurav Arya that is incorrect. Its arank well earned by Fawad Khan. He is a good actor and has won kudos from Indians for his work. Why on earth do you want to even bring nationality into it? He is a good entertainer and has entertained people on both sides of the border. Yes, Bollywood is a very big industry and can properly showcase his talent more than the Pakistano fledgling industry.Dont you want the entire world to appreciate his talent. If it was Hollywood which gave him a role would you have the same reaction? Chill bro. for the Hindi-Urdu speaking world its great that there is a great talent on the firmament. lets celebrate

I am surprised that most people don't know Fawad Khan, who has taken India by storm, or are they pretending that they don't know him...and all those who have asked 'fawad khan who??' Should ask the women in their lives to know how much he is loved & adored & respected..! And those who think, times celebex is a cheap survey, and that one should look into others like filmfare..well, let me inform you that times celebex, powered by zoom tv is a part of times group(times of India) & so is filmfare..if times group isn't reliable, then I don't know what is, Atleast when it comes to bollywood..! It is annoying that people who have not seen his work and who have no idea about this survey, have chose to comment..! I for one has seen most of his tv dramas, his interviews, his film khoobsurat, and I can confidently say that this man, Fawad Khan deserves this and much more..! He is great looking, phenomenal actor and above all a wonderful human bring..! Way to go..Fawad Khan!

It high light one thing that Pakistani actors can only shine when under Indian supervision . I mean where was this fellow BEFORE he came to India. It also shows that the Indian side of Pakistani actors can only be brought out when in India.

If Salman Khan is bollywood top actor, then RIP bollywood. By the way, 99.9999999999 percent bollywood can be termed copiedwood of hollywood. Any way, RIP copiewood.

@Nawed_ Who told you that Dileepkumar is Pakistani! you say Dileepkumar is Pakistani just because his birth place is in Pakistan now? If that's the case, you would say that LK Adwaniji is also a Pakistani!

I have seen the movie and do not hesitate to say he is a second rated actor with ordinary personality. I have no idea why is he being portrayed as a BIG talent. Must have some friends within media. Note: I am a US citizen of Pakistani origin.

@Amir Indian Fawad Khan has been rated 5th best actor in India by your critics. Complaint to them. Why in Pakistani newspapers. This is for all the who have commented against Fawad.

@Nawed--- they were all born in British INDIA no such thing as Pakistan back then.....dont pretend that your history starts way back...raajkumar aka " jaani" was from Loralai fyi.. Hindu from baluchistn... how many are left? just asking !

@Nawed_ Dilip aka Yusuf Khan and Kadar Khan are Indian , because they were born when Pakistan was not even born. And at the time of partition they moved to India , That is the case for many indian living this side now --So how come they are Pakistan.???

First I thought Dawn is being biased as Fawad Khan groupies are based there but when I read Salman Khan as the best actor ... He can be a major box office draw or something to do with making a lot of money but acting? This poll can't be taken seriously.

I certainly question any methodology which rates Fawad Khan higher as an actor than Amir Khan.

Kudos to Fawad Khan! Salman Khan shouldn't have been on the list. He was driving dunk and ran over five homeless people in 2002 in Mumbai. Most of these poor people died as a result. He has not been brought to justice yet. The bottom line: he is not a good role model. Avoid watching his movies to express our disgust towards this individual.

That's the paid survey to promote the film. Publicity stunt nothing special. I myself wasn't aware about him. I browsed this article just to see how he looked. He may be a good actor. I don't know as I didn't saw his acting yet. I wish him best of luck for his bollywood career. He has to DO LOT to achive the 5th best actor position in India.

@Nawed_ If they live, work and succeed in India, they become Indian. If they live, work and succeed in US they become American. The country that gives them opportunity is their country. Pakistan is an unfortunate country that has been plundered by oligarchs. It does not give anything to its ordinary citizens.

@Nawed_ " Most Indian don't know that tragedy king Dileep Kumar aks Yusuf Khan or such fine actors such as Kader Khan are Pakistani." Nawed, you need to educate yourself. First of all it's Dilip and NOT Dileep. He was an Indian and NOT Pakistani. And Kader Khan is also NOT Pakistani. He born in Kabul, Afghanistan. At the age of one, his family immigrated to Bombay. Pakistanis like YOU are only good for spreading propaganda. You have false sense of self-respect.

@Nawed_ if dilip kumar aka yusuf khan heard you he would disagree at least.he was in india before creation of pakistan and pathans in india,even if they are from peshawar,think of themselves as afghan rather than pakistani

@Brijesh P ask Indian ladies ;)

@Amit Kumar so detailed appreciation only big heart people can do who enjoy life with positive attitude. Appreciated your appreciation.

Height of Khush Fahmi ......across the border only. Sorry, his acting sucks.

@Nawed_ any one who was born in pre partition part of India which is now Pakistan can not be assumed Pakistani or if he or she happened to be Muslim . Rajkapoor was also born in Peshawar . Get your facts straight .

@Nawed_ its not a tragedy... we all are indians anyway... if you know what i mean

Some of our Best Actors and Actresses,Best Cricketers ,Singers and musicians are in Pakistan.

@Nawed_ What is so surprising ?Pakistan and India are one people and one race.Political separation is only temporary.When they realize that Partition was a great mistake,they will want to be together.

which is not a good commentary on the quality of Indian actors....

I know only one thing.Why all these people (with due respect especially our Indian friends have wasted their time reading this article.Who is Fawad Khan ?) Talent speaks itself.

To all Pakistani and the author --- Fawad's first movie, good first step but long ways to go. To all Indian friends ---take it easy man its just movie with a Pakistani Actor

To all literate Pakistani friends do you know how the surveys are being conducted. They just pick 50-60 people randomly and asked about their opinion and publishes the data as reliable survey. Whereas India is billion populace country how could some one say this is the reflection of Indian mentality. Even most of the Indian don't know about Time's Celeb survey. It is a private media survey which want to gain some hold in Pakistan also that's why they are publishing Pakistani actors name.It is a simple marketing strategy so now you should know why Indian producers are taking Pakistani actors in their film.

The only Pakistani artist worth mention is 'Jal...the band'. Everything else sucks...

@Nawed_ Going by your logic there would be million of Pakistanis living in India who were born in current Pak but migrated during partition....right? No, You are completely wrong... anyone who chose to stay in India during partition is as much as Indian as anyone else.

@Abbas khan "@Amir Indian hold on! Akshay Kumar and Salman khan are ahead of him in that list. Now why he is ahead of the rest, better you ask Indian ladies who like him like anything. " So if they like him so much why did his movie only make 30 crores in India while Arjun Kapoor, Siddharth Malhotra and Ranveer Singh have all given a hit with 100 crore in a solo hero movie. After all there is an objective way to measure which actor is more popular i.e. ow well do his moies fare. Which hero's movie holds a record for lifetime collection? Amir Khan. His acting also is recognized by all. But according to this survey Fawad Khan is a better actor than Amir Khan. It just shows something wrong with the survey.

This is funny ! I don't know who had participated in survey,but,believe me guys nobody knows who is this fawad Khan . Surprised to see such a plain face is been cast as a hero. We h've better 2nd lead actors than him,and 1st time got to know he hails from Pakistan.

Dileep Kumar is 100% Indian as he and his family relocated to India way before Pakistan came into existence in 1947. Kader Khan was born in Kabul and relocated to India (1937) way before Pakistan came into existence. Both chose India over Pakistan. Hence both are Indian and not Pakistani. Funny part is that all misguided Pakistanis think that they both are Pakistani. Recent artists of Pakistan who have talent choose Bollywood over Lollywood as they know where their talent is appreciated hence they are more Indian (in heart) than Pakistani.

Poor reporting by DAWN. Majority of the readers are confused as how could Fawad become number five in no time. Unfortunately DAWN did not reported the mechanism of grading the actors in India and hence all the confusion. I would suggest that readers go to other sites and understand the mechanism and they would be glad to learn the success of FAWAD.

@Abbas khan these statements that ladies swoon over are advertising gimmicks we also hear that Pakistani ladies are falling over hrithik roshan and cricketer laxmipathi balaji etc.the only difference is we Indians just laugh it off where as you Pakistani guys believe it. just relax.hardly anybody think of fawad who ever it may be.to day indian heart throb is ranbir kapoor.if you have seen him you will agree too.he is great

@Rafi Ka Deewana another mad follower who thinks his opinion is universal

Where is Rajnikanth? Chiranjeevi? Mahesh Babu? Have you heard of them?

wao.......after his first movie he is fifth best actor,what will he do after making more movies???? good job

Thnk u Dawn.com I come here to read what brothers across the fence feel about us.... Yes! there are hot criticism from each side but its btr to fight here than near the fence... There are many among us n us means us not just india, who have see hostility through another approach called humanhood... i wish someday i cud enjoy Islamabad as i do in Delhi n with out visa n passport... why just ask for kashmir when all india can be urs... and u could be our's... do think about it... :-)

@ Nawed..Oh Come on ..Grow up please...If Dilip Kumar is a Pakistani just because he was born in Pakistan pre partition (undivided India), then guys by the same logic even your Parvez Musharraf is an Indian as he was born in Delhi ( Thank God he isn't ...lol !!!! )

Movies these days are full of crap , so what is the point of being selective out of insane movies.I only like bachchan movies of 70s . having said that , Bachchan has been far more excellent actor ever.

What type of stupid survey is that, he did only 1 Hindi film & became 5th best actor. What about Ranbeer Kapoor & Ranvir Singh.?

@weq for what? To get a side kick n then priding to be 5th ranking above even Amir Khan? Beoy there are no hero role actors in bolywood better still than Amir Khan n Sanjay Dutt; and both are not figured in the list! As for the chocolate look of Fawad Khan, can he beat Imran Khan n Ranbeer Kapoor?

Great

@Amir Indian Its not Pakistani Web, Its Indian. Ask them for Explanation please.

These ratings are complete nonsense. You mean these guys know to act?Where is naseeruddin shah?kamal hasan,om puri?mohan lal? These are the real actors. Others are mere representatives of money minting bollywood.

@Sonal Then why are you crying mate ask your people and the web who published the ratings based on Indian Voting. Neither the web is Pakistani nor its voted by Paki Ppl.

@Sunil USA even in that case kader Khan is Kabul born.

@nazish To Criticize and to let their frustration Out despite i noticed lots of people who are not sarcastic about this.

I strongly believe that Fawad is a great actor. I'm actually appauled by some recent Pakistani talent. Coke Studio set an example.Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar and now Fawad. He's got great potential. We're awaiting seeing him in stronger roles than Khoobsurat. He's not just good looking and charming, has a great voice, is a marvelous actor and seems to be a humble being. I started seeing 'Humsafar' on Zindagi, but couldn't wait everyday for the next episode so downloaded and watched all episodes on YouTube. I'm a huge fan of Fawad and the funny coincidence is that he resembles my boyfriend so much! :-P

@Nawed_ dude we are very much aware just speak about yourself and not the majority!

Fawad khan is the only actor whose acting can be compare to Dilip kumar.

Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor were born in United India before the partition in 1947, there was no land known as Pakistan then.

@Ramesh Ishu say that again ...rolling on the floor laughing

Misleading title given to the article has created all d confusion. These ratings are not based on acting n it is not the best or the worst actor list. This shows the popularity of an actor in a particular month depending upon different factors like publicity through film promotions, brand endorsements, online fan following etc. Nothing at all to do with an actor's acting abilities. I hope this clears the confusion. Saying all this, there is no doubt Fawad Khhan is a fabulous actor n his work in d film as well as on TV speaks volumes for him. I just hope we do not pull down someone just because of his or her nationality n this applies for people on both sides of the border

Bollywood, is dominated by Khans ah Punjabis..should be renamed as Punjwood

@Nawed_ Dileep Kumar was as Much Pakistani as Jinnah or Musharraf were Indians

@Nawed_ Nope not Dilip Kumar and Kadir khan. Doen't matter so much what was originally their place, but at the time of partition they chose India. That makes them Indian. That way your Nawaz Sharif in an Indian as he was from Amritsar.

Calling him 5th best is a little too much at least a little too early. Which ever magazine did that. And some times I feel he can do only one kind of roles - a rich sophisticated guy. Can he be a bad guy! Can he be a poor guy! Can he be a funny guy! that remains to be seen.

This is such a pathetic news. Fifth best in the country, when I am sure 99% of Indians do not know know who this guy is? Stop quoting third grades surveys, the leading and most promising actor as of today is Ranveer Singh..no one follow him.

@Nawed_ I don't know why should one know the origin of an actor to like him/her? An actor is liked for the acting talents and not for his/her origin.

Maan na Maan, Main Tera Mehmaan lol...who told fawad khan is among top 5. Apne muh miyan mithhu. Though i know he worked with Sonam Kapoor in the movie Khubsoorat but still didn't watch it and neither i will. lol

Are u serious? Are u serious? Are u serious? Are u serious?..

@Nawed_ Dilip Kumar aka Yusuf Khan and Kader Khan and many many more were Born in British India Province of Punjab/Sindh/..etc but migrated to India during Independence. How are they Pakistanis??

Really, he is a very mediocre actor. Another publicity gimmick.

one honest question ..who is he? In my point of view the real actor famous actor is who when you ask a question to people living in cities as well people living in village..i think names will come out Amitabh sir, amir khan, shahrukh khan!! I don't think even 5% people know about him!! but I appreciate ali zafar as middle artist and rahat fateh ali khan as great artist!!

@Nawed_ Kader Khan was born in Afghanistan-and is from an Afghani Pashto tribal origin, Pakistan did not even exist when Dilip Kumar was born, they grew up in Bombay/Nasik. By the same logic Musharraf is Indian- as he was born in Delhi

why is this even a news item ? lolz today its him after a year the ladies will find a new man to rally behind. He has the looks but so do most people today, grooming good clothes and a toned body can make anyone a star....these so called "surveys" are just a waste of time. E-news and gossip makes no value addition to any society.

@Sudhakar , isn't India's population enough for you, why do you want to adopt more people.

@Nawed_ At the time of Dilip Kumar or Raj Kapoor's birth, there was no Pakistan.

Kis galat fehmi mein hai bahi.... 5th best.. LOL.

@Nawed_ for your kind informationboth Dilip Kumar and Kader Khan were born in India and not in Pakistan. They were born in UNDIVIDED INDIA before the nation was partitioned

@amit Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor both were born in Peshawar, India. India was an UNDIVIDED NATION in those days. They moved to Bombay much before the country was partitioned.

@Gaurav Arya Singer Shaan is from Kolkata and not Pakistan

@Jamal Syed well said Jamal

@Gaurav Arya Shaan is Pakistani? Even Shaan would wonder when did he become one..

Proud to see our talent shining bright on the international level..fawad is a gem indeed..good to see him in 100 famous and influential pakistanis book as well..hope our talent rocks hollywood too :D

@KK please watch his drama "Kuchh Pyaar Ka Paagalpan Bhi Tha" n "Dastaan" where he plays neither a rich boy nor a sophisticated one and he has done a wonderful job. You can also check his movie "Khuda Kay Liye" to see how good and versatile an actor he is. I hope people watch his work before running him down. An Indian fan.

@uma lets not to suggest things which are not necessary...

@Nawed_ Not correct. May be few Indians

@Alam actually he shud be given the oscars..

Must be a voting error. People may have rated him 5th worst,

Who cares!!!!

HA HA HA. Can't stop laughing. Are you serious? Who comes up with this jokes.

@Nawed_ Kader Khan & Dilip Kumar are Indian citizens.. By ur logic, Jinnah & Iqbal are Indians, right?

@Riz - US: He's apppreciated in India & Pak coz of his Fair Skined.. That's all we care about..

@rohit yup. Who is he? Sound first time.

What sort of rating is this? No name of Aamir Khan in top 5 ! BOOOOOOOOO! But yes Fawad Khan is clearly one of the nest in Bollywood too.

Everyone in India knows he is Pakistani! Still Indian audience loves him. We have 3 Muslim superstars. And they say India is Communal!

I know that relations are not good between India and Pakistan but it's a good thing that Indians are giving a good response to Pakistani actors, a grand salute to indians

We are proud that Fawad Khan has been accepted by people as one of the best actor of this time. We should not show our proudness to the extent that others may start disliking him. Being humble and your modest and kind comments will help him reach high. Just a suggestion. One should always ask what can be done to improve

@Haridas yes he can. Its upto ones preference. Ppl who like a good looking brooding desi handsome man would prefer him. Those who like fair skinned delicate boys would prefer imran n ranbir. It depends on person to person.

@What wronggggg.....its mekaal uassan band and the duo sajjad ali and waqar ali. Gosh u are deprived of good music. Reserve ur comments till eternity plzzzz

From the comments it seems only the indian men have a pain in the bu** when fawads good looks and success is mentioned. The female indians seem to like him and enjoy his work... height of insecurity....!!

@samrita Thank you for understanding the mechanism and some sensible comments. This popularity graph is measured at an instance where other actors like ajay, amitabh etc. had no recent releases else it would have been different.
