Fawad Khan is the next big thing in Bollywood: Danish Taimoor

The second episode of 'Tonite With HSY' featured the oh-so-famous off-screen couple, ruggedly handsome Danish Taimoor and pretty Ayza Khan, as they candidly shared stories of their marriage and declared that they were ‘Team Fawad’.

Danish, who has done more than a 100 telefilms along with many dramas, will soon be seen as Billu in Yasir Jaswal’s debut film Jalaibee. The actor, who is known for being a loner, keeping aloof from his other co-stars, revealed that he is an ardent cricket fan and a horror movie buff. He also shared that he loves music and is an exceptional mimic -- mimicking the likes of Humayun Saeed or even host Hasan Shehryar Yasin himself.

Danish keeps himself updated on all things Bollywood and Lollywood and didn't hesitate to name Ali Zafar, Imran Abbas and Fawad Khan as Pakistan's top three actors.

“Fawad. I think he has that class. He is brilliant in his acting circle— I think neither Pakistan nor India have anyone better than him. So he’ll be the next big thing,” said Danish.

While Danish has been in the industry for quite some time now, Ayza is fairly new. She's made quite a name for herself a short time, though she said she felt other actors do a tad better job than her. It does turn out, though, that Ayza was Pakistan’s number one celebrity to be searched on Google last year. Her drama Pyare Afzal alongside Hamza Ali Abbasi shot her to new heights of fame.

The actor loves commercial films which involve ghagra, choli and dance moves but would never do one because she believes a Pakistani audience wouldn’t accept her that way. She also added that she wouldn’t do the same for Bollywood either because if something doesn’t seem fit for Pakistan, it shouldn’t work out in India either.
