Babar Ali, who is often seen in a negative role, recently opened up about his journey as an actor. The actor was invited to the Shaan-e-Suhoor transmission of Good Morning Pakistan, where he revealed how the hero turned into the villain overnight.
At the peak of his career, Babar Ali went through a rough patch. He recalled that there was a time when he used to have over 60 film offers, but when he got into an accident, he lost those offers overnight.
The Qarz actor shared his struggles with host Nida Yasir and Hiba Bukhari.
“We have always seen people worship the rising star and I experienced it too. But I had seen my downfall in that very moment.”
From hero to villain – Babar Ali shares his story
He then revealed about his accident which completely changed his life,
“I had an accident during the shooting of Iqbal Kashmiri’s film and was bedridden for six months. Just a day ago I had over 60 film offers, but when I couldn’t work, those very people came at my door to return their money.”
However, with that came another opportunity.
“I won’t blame them, though, they had their reasons. But there were also good people. After three or four days, I got two film offers but for a negative role. Syed Noor and Khalil ul Rehman Qamar called me at the same day to offer the villain’s roles in their movies. I felt a little weird at first but then I accepted them.”
Babar Ali considers it as a blessing and a turning point in his career. He became even more successful as a villain and believes that the incident gave him a new life as an actor.
