Entertainment Desk April 28, 2023

Hamza Sohail, son of renowned Pakistani comedian Sohail Ahmed, recently made his acting debut with Raqeeb Se which saw him flex his acting chops. The budding star quickly garnered a small fanbase and was lauded for his exceptional performance. His knack for the screen and ability to make a character his own was praised by critics and viewers alike.

But here’s why the internet is obsessed with him:

Making a mark

Despite being the son of a famous personality, Hamza is making his own mark and is proving his hard work. So far, he has worked alongside the likes of Nouman Ijaz, Sami Khan, Hira Mani, Iqra Aziz and others. His performance in Badshah Begum was also lauded and has helped cement his grit as an actor in a cast that included Zara Noor Abbas Siddiqui and Yasir Hussain. Not to forget, Hamza’s acting skills are being compared to those of his father, who is widely recognised as one of Pakistan’s most talented comedians.

A not-so-secret passion

Hamza's success in the industry has come as no surprise to those who know him well, as he has always had a passion for acting and a desire to become a public figure. He has worked hard to achieve his dreams, and his dedication and perseverance have paid off. With that passion in hand, he has a bright future ahead of him, and many industry experts are predicting that he will become one of the leading stars of the Pakistani entertainment industry in the coming years.

Script choices

The young star has managed to accumulate a diverse portfolio thus far, but his latest offering has fans quite smitten. Hamza essays the role of Farjad in the drama serial Fairy Tale. Farjad is head over heels in love with Umeed, the main character of the show. In Fairy Tale, Farjad is shown as a loyal and caring friend, always there to support Umeed in her quest for riches and happiness. Despite Umeed's many failures and setbacks, Farjad never loses faith in her and remains a constant source of encouragement.

Hamza's portrayal of Farjad has been praised by many, who have been impressed by his natural acting skills and on-screen chemistry with Sehar Khan, who plays Umeed. His charming personality and infectious smile have also made him a favourite among fans of the show.

Popping off on Instagram

The actor’s Instagram is quite diverse as well. Let’s just say: there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re into - uh - “fitness” posts, or updates about his professional career, you’ll find everything you need to stay updated on Hamza’s life. It also helps that his Instagram captions are either short and witty, or often humorous. One is also blessed with the occasional heartfelt note, penned by Hamza, as a form of musing.

Paving his own path

Undoubtedly, many will bring up the nepotism argument when Hamza Sohail comes up in conversation. However, it is important to note that he has humongous shoes to fill, given that his father is all but a legend in his own right. By perusing through scripts and finding just the right fit – be it challenging or a walk in the park – Hamza is ensuring that he paves his own path within the entertainment industry.

With his natural talent and hard work, there is no doubt that Hamza Sohail will continue to make his mark in the industry and win the hearts of audiences around the world.
