‘The Legend of Maula Jatt’ star Gohar Rasheed opens up about challenges and triumphs

The Legend of Maula Jatt star Gohar Rasheed has candidly talked about the challenges he faced in the entertainment industry before getting big roles.

Gohar also revealed that his father did not “support” him during this journey.

During a conversation with host Hassan Choudary on Express Entertainment’s The Talk Talk Show, the Rangreza actor said, “My father firmly stated that if you insist on doing this, do it on your own. I won't support you.”

He also shared, “All I knew was that there’s an I.I. Chundrigar road in Karachi where all mainstream media houses have their head offices. Every day I would take the bus from Boat Basin, where I was living back then, to I.I. Chundrigar to drop my CV and showreel at every channel.”

Gohar called his first job as “donkey work” as he used to manage technical operations on set, it was not in his job description as an actor.

The Laal actor told the host that he “never thought” he would become an actor.

“I wasn't the quintessential ‘pappu’ larka with flowing hair and fair skin.”

He shared wisdom for the youngsters entering the entertainment industry, “You cannot give anyone the right to define you. No one can dictate what you can or cannot doThere’s no one else like you and you proceed from acknowledging that.”

Gohar Rasheed ‘speaks up’ for Palestine:

During the same discussion, he mentioned, “In today’s time when social media is so influential, everyone should speak up for what they believe is right, Most people aren't talking about Palestine.”

Gohar concluded, “This is rather unfortunate so I urge everyone to take a stand. Don't think about what impact your voice will have, the outcome is not your responsibility. Your responsibility is to raise your voice.”
