Hottie of the week: Junaid Khan

Who is he?

What do you call a man with exceptional achievements in nearly every aspect of life? You call him Junaid Khan because this handsome gentleman is just that: a jack of all trades. You might recall Junaid from a concert, a drama serial, a modeling campaign or an advertisement – this guy is literally everywhere! He began his tryst with the world of showbiz back in the early 2000s as frontman of the popular rock band Call, belting out smash hits like ‘Sab Bhula Ke’ and ‘Jilawatan.’ His musical prowess was lauded time and again with numerous awards and prizes but of course, Junaid wanted more. He burst onto the small screen in the 2010 ATV drama ‘Dil Ki Lagi’ and followed it up with Hum TV’s ‘Kabhi Na Kabhi’ and ‘Mujhe Roothnay Na Deyna.’ With numerous other projects to his credits, an undergraduate degree in engineering, masters in business and a wholesome family life, we can’t help but wonder how he manages to do so much!


Why we love him

With Junaid’s charismatic personality and creativity, one can’t help but love him. His rugged good looks have been vouched for by the numerous modeling assignments he is regularly signed for, including his participation at last year’s Bridal Couture Week Pakistan. Junaid takes good care of himself and works out regularly, no matter where he is.

He draws inspiration from things around him and believes an artist should constantly observe and reinvent himself to remain successful. Constructive criticism is one of Junaid’s strong suits and he tries to incorporate it into his work every day. Organised and practical, Junaid doesn’t like leaving anything on chance: even his holidays are expertly planned out in advance!

What you didn’t know about him

Junaid likes bright and busy cities and Dubai is one of his favourites.

He is a complete cinema-geek and can watch even the worst movies at the theatre so long as he gets a glass of iced tea and fresh popcorn.

Although a total foodie, Junaid’s favourite cuisine is Pakistani.
