Now the Yaqeen Ka Safar<\/strong><\/em> actor has been nominated for Calgary’s theatre accolade The Betty Mitchell Awards. Ahad Raza Mir has been nominated for ‘Outstanding Performance by an Actor’ in a Drama category.<\/p>\n

His Career<\/h3>\n

The actor has a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts specializing in drama from the University of Calgary. Given that’s where he was raised, it makes sense that he went back to ground zero after finding success in Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Other Accolades<\/h3>\n

Before Hamlet: A Ghost Story, <\/em>Ahad Raza Mir won the award for \u2018best actor in a musical<\/em>\u2019 at the Canadian Critics\u2019 Awards.<\/p>\n

His performance in Hamlet and Shakesperian theatre is on another level though.<\/p>\n

“Hamlet is particularly an exhausting character. Once the show is over, the cast asks me if I want to hang out and I usually just refuse. I am so drained that all I want to do is sleep.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ahad Raza Mir has a lot of faith in his performance as the lead in the Shakespearian tragedy.<\/p>\n

“My mother came to see me perform and she told me that for the first time, she couldn\u2019t recognise me and actually felt scared of me. I just thought that I must\u00a0 be doing something right if my own mother could think that way!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the possibility of a special performance of Hamlet<\/em> in Pakistan, Ahad said that he was willing to try.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s see. We could try, maybe.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
