Earlier, speaking at the IFFM's press conference, Fawad revealed he wants to improve his dancing skills.

"I have been very lucky for what I have been offered so far. My boundaries are limited to number of films that are offered to me and I am pretty open and receptive to material that is offered to me," he said according to DNA.

"I swear to god I wish I could dance or sing... I watch these people and I wish I could move like them. But I am having a great time here," he added.
