When we talk about showbiz, the popular belief says, half of the people succeed because they have contacts in the industry. There are also wild rumors spread around about the difficulties of staying in the media Industry. Very few people, who actually succeed and stay in the Industry for a longer time are very happy and content with themselves, most of them swear by their principles and steadfastness that made them successful.
The multi-talented and super handsome, actor, VJ and a voice over artist Zahid Ahmed had a similar experience. With the impressive resume, he was bound to be a success but that would have taken years since he didn’t have any contacts in the Industry. He literary knew no one in the Industry!
Here, in Iftar Mulaqaat’s 24th episode, he further shared his experience with the host Hina Khawaja Bayat on Geo Kahani.
For Zahid, his success came by in the form of the role of Quaid-e-Azam, for Sawa 14 August, written by the prodigal Anwar Maqsood.
“I once did the character portrayal of Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, it was a wonderful experience. I felt I was guided spiritually.”
Zahid doesn’t believe running after money, makes matters and better, because at the end of the day you have to live with yourself and the choices you made.
“Har banday ko daulat shohrat milay aur phir ussay ehsaas ho ke yeh cheezein koi mainay nahi rakhti”
The reason behind his success in the Industry is because he focused on what mattered and let go of what didn’t.
“Jo andar ki buniyad hai wohi haqeeqat hai. Duniya bhar ki negativity ko ignore kara hai mein ne”
Zahid has worked in some major national and international projects, he found success when he was least expecting it and not only is he happy with his career but also content with his life.
