Hottie of the week: Shehroz Sabzwari

Status: Married to Syra Yusuf

Born: Karachi, Pakistan

Birthday: 25th August, 1987

Who is he?

Pakistan television industry’s very own chocolate boy and the son of the versatile TV actor, Behroze Sabzwari, Shehroz is the kind of guy everyone wants to bring home to Mommy dearest! Admit it, girls — we all fancy those dimples on Pepsi’s poster boy and we all died a million deaths when Shehroz tied the knot with Syra. His effortless acting, chiseled features and boy-next-door persona has got our hearts racing!

Why we’re crushing on him

You think he is just eye-candy who got his way around because he belongs to a family of legends? Think again! Shehroz is a graduate of the London Film Academy with a major in Acting and a minor in Film-making — pretty impressive, we’d say! Passionately in love with the idea of being an actor since his childhood, he has blown us away with his acting in Badtameez and Tanhaiyan — Naye Silsilay.

A “ferocious reader” as he calls himself, Shehroz loves reading up on Sufism and is a die-hard fan of Rumi. Guess who inspires this enigmatic actor? Shehroz follows the footsteps of Shams of Tabrez and Rumi! Bonus points to him for his spirituality. His take on love: “Love should be unconditional otherwise it’s just infatuation!” Awww…. it’s like he just walked out of Eric Segal’s epic Love Story!

His ideal woman

Shehroz is not shy about showing off his love for his gorgeous wife Syra who seems to have fulfilled his criteria for the ideal woman — “true at heart and innocent as a child”. Shehroz does not go for glamorous looks because according to him, “You can find beauty in anyone, but it is the soul that should reflect the real beauty in a woman.”  This love-struck boy-next-door has melted our hearts into a gooey chocolate disaster.
