Reflecting on his track record of hit projects, he credits thoughtful choices — not luck — for his success: “I choose wisely,” he says with a smile.
We didn’t stop there. Fawad also fondly recalls working with Bollywood’s leading ladies. From Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma to Vaani Kapoor and Alia Bhatt — calling them talented, inspiring, and a joy to work with.
