In Pakistan’s entertainment industry, there are many actors who have been involved with the industry since they were children. Some of them simply followed in their parents’ footsteps. Others got into acting by accident or because it was something they really wanted to do. These actors had other careers before they got into show business, which may surprise some people. Something is certain: acting is not a skill that can be taught! It’s either you have it or you don’t. These actors had it in them, even if some of them were unaware that they were born to act. It’s also enjoyable to see such well-known actors in their first roles.
