Surpassing Stardom

heheryar Munawar Siddiqui has taken
the Pakistani entertainment industry
by storm ever since his first drama
serial Meray Dard Ko Jo Zuban Miley
aired in 2012. However, unlike most actors that
live, breathe, and dream of acting, this man just
stumbled upon it.
The 29-year-old is a finance and marketing
graduate from the prestigious Institute of Business
Administration and worked a corporate 9 to 5
job. During that time, he managed acting and
modelling assignments on the side but did not plan
on entering the industry as a full-time actor.
Eventually, he decided to quit the 9 to 5 route and
started working towards a career in the media field.
His interest has always been behind the camera but
when provided with an opportunity to be in the
forefront, he took it up as an approach to enter the
field and rest, as they say, is history.
From TV shows Zindagi Gulzar Hai to Aasmanon
Pay Likha and then his film debut in Asim Raza’s
Ho Mann Jahaan, this hunk has the entire nation
swooning over him.
GLOSS got an opportunity to speak to the
heartthrob about his career and his rise to fame.
