Muneeb Butt denies getting film offers with Alia, Deepika

In an interview on Zabardast with Wasi Shah on Saturday, actor Muneeb Butt addressed the rumour that he was allegedly offered to work with Bollywood celebrities Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone. "No, it's nothing like that," he said, laughing. "I don't know who made that up."

Muneeb, however, was approached with an opportunity to work in India. "An Indian movie was offered to me, yes. But it was an Indian Punjabi one - the kind that's shot in places like London and Canada, and also gets released in Pakistan," he said.

"It was in talks for sometime. But I don't know what happened because the movie couldn't make it to the production stage, or the set," he said. "I don't precisely remember who was meant to be in it. But it had an Indian cast and a number of Pakistani actors."

Muneeb then expressed his appreciation for Punjabi film star Sonam Bajwa. "She's very pretty," he said. "The thing about beauty is that it's God-given. We should be able to praise that. There's nothing wrong about that. If I find someone beautiful, I don't mind appreciating them."

When asked how his wife and actor Aiman Khan would feel about that, Muneeb shared that the couple is very secure in their relationship. "My wife knows the kind of person I am," he said.

And speaking of praises, the Shiddat actor reserved only the kindest words for his significant other. "As an actor, I feel that she is a lot more talented than I am and is a wonderful actress. There have been many times when I've seen her perform and said, 'I did not see a single flaw that I could critique on a professional level or suggest that you could do differently,'" he said.

Zindaan and Khatoon Manzil are among the serials that the celebrity couple have worked on together. "In fact, even now when she watches my dramas, she is the one who tells me how I could do something in a different way."

Muneeb isn't opposed to working opposite Hania Aamir and Durefishan Saleem if he ever got the chance. "Aiman doesn't forbid me from watching or working with anyone. We have a very clear distinction between our personal and professional lives when it comes to this," he said.

"Work is work, and personal life is personal life. So she wouldn't impose any restrictions," he added. "But if you were to ask me, I'm a big fan of all these actresses. I love watching their plays. I wouldn't mind working with them."
