Khaqan Shahnawaz, a recent addition to the drama industry with projects like “Yunhi,” “Hadsa,” “Barwaan Khiladi,” “College Gate,” and “Sukoon” to his credit, transitioned from being a content creator.

Despite his admission that his looks played a significant role in securing prominent roles, he acknowledged the abundance of more skilled actors who may not enjoy similar opportunities due to their appearance.

During his appearance on Fuchsia, Khaqan candidly discussed the prevalence of shallow casting decisions based on looks in the industry.

He recognized that, while there are countless actors with superior acting abilities, his personality and appearance often secured him lead roles that others might miss out on.

In addition to his insights on the entertainment industry, Khaqan delved into the realm of social media, criticizing the influx of unintelligent content.

He expressed the view that many social media creators lack formal education, attributing the rise of what he deemed “dumb content” to this trend.

He humorously placed himself in the same category while pointing out that intelligent individuals often face backlash on social media.

Furthermore, Khaqan addressed the contemporary phenomenon of individuals pursuing social media success as an alternative to traditional education and employment.

He argued that while some may earn more through social media than their degrees would provide, the intrinsic value of education should not be undermined.

According to him, an educated content creator is likely to achieve greater success in the long run compared to an uneducated counterpart.
