Ali Zafar on spending time back home, his next movie and his love for Delhi.

During his recent visit to India, singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar, spoke to us about what all he has been upto after we saw him in London Paris New York. He told us, "I was back home in Pakistan and that served as a good break from work as I got to spend quite a bit of time with my family and friends over there. I also went on vacation during this period. We covered Istanbul, Mauritius and London." According to a report in Times of India.

Talking about his trip to Delhi, he said, "Bahut dino ke baad India aaya hoon, aur kafi achcha lag raha hain apne doston ko mil kar. I love to come to Delhi because it is so much like Lahore. Bahut kum waqt ke liye aaya hoon iss baar, lekin I would love to come back again, very soon."

Ali seems to be quite excited about his next release - Chashme Buddoor. About the film and his role in it, he shared, "The movie has turned out pretty well and everyone will like it for sure. I really enjoyed acting in the movie.

Earlier, the movie was supposed to be released by Eid this year, but now the release date has been shifted to February, next year."

Interestingly, Ali has been approached by PFDC (Pakistan Fashion Design Council) to perform at the opening of their office in the capital. "PFDC is planning to set up a huge office in India. It will be in Delhi, near South Extension, and will be a hub for all leading Pakistani designer labels like Asif and Nabeel, Fahad Hussayn, Kamair Rokni, Rizwan Beig, Sana Safinaz, Iman ahmed, Umar Sayeed, Sonia Azhar, HSY, Feeha Jamshed and so on.

The dates of the opening have not been finalized yet," said Ali, adding, "With the PFDC setting up an office in India, Pakistani fashion designers will now get the opportunity to explore the Indian fashion market."
