One of the most sought after YouTuber in Pakistan, Shahveer Jafry, has made his acting debut recently with web series Baarwan Khiladi. <\/em>Though the episodic series has only released two episodes so far, Shahveer has left quite an impression on viewers with his first performance and hopefully, will have a long and shinning career in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

In a conversation with Hassan Choudary of Something Haute<\/em>, Shahveer talks about his struggles as a young YouTuber, the many TV offer he turned down, and his debut project.<\/p>\n

“Growing up, I never had any other idea except to become an entertainer. I used to be a class clown in school. I couldn’t imagine a life where I’m working a 9 to 5 job, I always wanted to do something creative,” he shared.<\/p>\n

Talking about his reason to move back to Pakistan, Shahveer said: “I believe that a film industry is a language that a country uses to communicate with the rest of the world. I feel that we (Pakistanis) are very lazy when ti comes to having a medium and nobody wants to work hard. So, I thought that if our generation won’t take this step and enter the entertainment industry to try to do something better. I wanted to come to Pakistan and give it my all to flourish this film industry. This is my only purpose in life,” he said.<\/p>\n

Jokingly, Shahveer admits that all his decisions are extremely against his parent’s wishes.<\/p>\n

“My parents are very annoyed because of this as well. They think that I deliberately miss out on amazing opportunities. However, when my heart isn’t in a project then I really cannot do it. I only reason I picked Baarwan Khiladi<\/em> is that the story is a little different than your average entertainment shows that air on TV. I’m waiting for a day when I get offered a role on television that challenges my soul,” Shahveer said.<\/p>\n

He is loved by millions of people across all generations and borders. Does he feel the weight or responsibility of so much love?<\/p>\n

“Fame is a blessing is disguise; I don’t know what I would do without fame and I don’t know what I would do with it. Fame is at a fine line between sanity and insanity. In order to keep myself grounded, I have started meditation,” he said.<\/p>\n

Shahveer’s vision is clear and he knows what he wants to achieve.<\/p>\n

“I know what I want to be and that’s the top. I want to be the best actor in Pakistan, I want to be the most successful actor in Pakistan. Now, for me success is to leave behind a legacy for which people remember me always. I want to make a change and represent our society and our culture through the films or the work I do. That’s my goal but how to get there is divided into strategies: firstly, dominant social media strategy, secondly to become a producer myself,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
