Whats Fakhir upto these days?

Date: 2006-11-12
Faakhir has been away from the limelight for quite some time now. He has not been seen in any major concerts in Pakistan and he wasn't part of this year's Lux Style Awards either. His album Mantra, despite being a total sell out did not even make it to the nominations for Best Music Album. He was last seen in his video of 'Kaash'. Now there is a buzz that Faakhir, like Atif and Strings, may be venturing into Bollywood ala playback singing. Instep caught up with the young singer to find out if he really is going to Bollywood and what he's been up to lately…
What have you been doing these days?
Faakhir: In the past few months, I have finished 3 tours of US, played in Europe and India. I've also performed in Pakistan. Basically, I've been traveling extensively for concerts.

Mantra released in 2005. Do you plan to release your next album soon or give a big gap?
F: I have started composing some material, arrangements and some melodies. I haven't gone into studios yet but I plan to very soon. My album will hopefully come out sometime in 2007.
: Will 'Kaash' be the last video from Mantra?
F: No, I have two more songs in mind from Mantra. I will choose one and come out with a video soon. I cannot indulge in details yet but it will happen soon.
There are rumours that you might venture into Bollywood, especially since Mantra has done so well across the border?
F: If an offer comes along while I'm in India, I might do it. But other than that, going all the way to record one song is not something that appeals to me.
: Bollywood has the biggest share in the music market of India. If the project is right, then why not?
F: It's simple. In India, playback singers record as many as 4-5 songs a day. If I were living in India and recording a dozen songs per day, it would be lucrative. However, getting a visa and going there to record one song isn't something that interests me. It is not lucrative and ultimately one song does not do much for an artist. The rate for one song is 25,000 rupees. Even if one is paid 50,000 rupees per song, it isn't worth it. Last September, I was offered to sing for the film Fanaa. But around the same time, the Sangeet Awards were taking place in the US. I was nominated so I decided to go there. And I won!

When we talk about deriving mileage from playback singing, I feel that is for people who are doing a lot of work. The Indian playback singers do as many as 12 songs a day. If I have the opportunity of composing and then singing or doing the theme and if the script and production is right, I may do it. Other than that, Bollywood is not my final goal.
Mantra did not get nominated at the Lux Style Awards this year. How do you feel about that?
Faakhir: Nominating someone is totally up to jury. Since the LSAs are neither the Grammys nor the Oscars, it's alright if I didn't get nominated!

Mehreen Syed-Interview It's always wonderful being in the company of beautiful woman, they have this rare yet perfect aura about them that's just so great to be around. This time round, I found myself bantering on with catwalk favourite Mehreen Syed, a woman who really needs no introductions. Elegant as a swan and as beautiful as any artists muse, Mahreen was also great fun to just hang out with, as you will, no doubt, read ahead! Where do you see yourself in five years time? Well, let's see now. I see myself living my own personal dream which is a life with me, the man that I love and a beautiful child. That's exactly how I'd want it to be and that's what I'm aiming at. Who is the sexiest man in Pakistan? Qasim sweety, without a doubt, it is definitely the man that I love. What kind of people can you not stand? Those with bad breath Are you good friends with all the other models? Jaani of course I am. Whether a model or somebody else, anyone who is good at heart and nice to me is my friend. Have you ever thought about going to Bollywood and tempting stardom like Meera? Well, I haven't thought about moving to Bollywood exactly like Meera did but I have had a few offers from Bollywood that I am thinking about. How do you keep your romantic life alive? By an extraordinary amount of TLC darling (Tender Loving Care). What would be your reaction to a trauma such as your boyfriend leaving you for someone else? Qasim are you joking?! I don't think any man alive would ever dump ME! I am this confident because I know myself and the amount of loyalty and sincerity I am capable of. However, if such a disastrous thing were ever to happen to me, I'd move on thinking that he never deserved me in the first place. What is it about a man that turns you on the most? Definitely his voice. Which is the weirdest rumour you have ever heard about yourself? That I am friends with Sofia Mirza! Puhlease! Who are your favourite men to work with? Nael and Emaad. Who is your best friend? My sister, Najaf. Who is your inspiration? Without a doubt, my mother. Because she was a widow, she raised me single-handedly. All I am now is due to her. I owe her a lot. What do you wear to bed? I'll wear any comfortable night suit as long as it's properly ironed. What is your weakness? (Grins) The love of my life. Describe the worst cat-fight you have ever gotten yourself into Well, it wasn't really a hair pulling cat-fight but I did slap a male model/actor once. Now don't look at me that way, I'm not telling you who! Who would you most like to thank for your rise to fame? Well previously, I have told you that I have my mother to thank for everything but after her I would most definitely like to thank Shahzad Raza of Ather Shahzad. He has always stood by me and has been a major contributor towards my success.
