Renowned Pakistani actor, producer, and TV host Fahad Mustafa revealed that had he not pursued a career in acting, he would have likely been selling biryani.

In an appearance on actor Mohib Mirza’s show, Fahad shared that his father, the famous actor Salahuddin Tunio, would have encouraged him to open a biryani shop or a restaurant if the entertainment industry hadn’t worked out.

The actor further explained that his family had close ties with actress Maham Amir's family, who have been in the biryani business for years.

He recalled how, before entering showbiz, his father took him to Maham’s house, where her mother explained the ins and outs of running the business.

He jokingly added that his father was so impressed by the biryani business that, had he not become an actor, he might have been running a biryani restaurant instead.

When asked by the host if his biryani would have included potatoes, Fahad humorously replied that while he couldn’t confirm the potatoes, his life would have certainly been "like a potato."
