Dear FQ,
I like you. I really do! But I am so tired of you playing the conventional leading man opposite women who are young enough to be your little girls. How I wish you would get experimental and take on something different if not exciting. How about playing an interesting, convoluted father figure to one of these young girls instead of their potential suitor? Or, how about playing the sly friend who with stealth and charm, takes over the heroine's fortune while she is left penniless, like the count character in Wilikie Collins' A Woman in White, while letting her be romanced by someone younger? Or something like the type of roles Sania Saeed or Samiya Mumtaz have started to play? I think both are closer to your age, isn't it? I mean Samiya Mumtaz in Saqday Tumhare or Faltu Larki is such a treat to watch even though she is not the conventional leading lady of either show. Maybe that is something male performers can learn from their female counterparts: the ease to adapt to non-leading parts as they get older, and ceding those leading roles to the younger lot. Every performer is initially discomfited by the idea of playing a character that is not the conventional leading man or woman, particularly one who has garnered a fair deal of adulation through his portrayals in such roles. However, at some point, one has to come around and see one's years squarely in the face, and roll accordingly. Wouldn't you agree?Warm regards,A viewer
I totally agree with you. I cannot see him with young girls anymore unless the role requires him the play a much older spouse. Same goes for humayun saeed. Thats why I couldnt watch bin roye. I mean they are not salman khan that they can manage such roles. Even Salman has moved on I think looking at his previous few movies. Humayun has been arond since I was a little kid.
