Pakistani icon Javed Sheikh is one of the most successful and well-respected actors in the showbiz industry. The veteran actor has made a name for himself not just in Pakistan but across the border as well as working in various Bollywood films.<\/p>\n

But did you know that Javed Sheikh got a chance to work in a Bollywood film with his daughter Momal Sheikh?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While people may call it nepotism, Javed Sheikh went on record to be very clear that it was Momal\u2019s own struggles and hardship that earned her the role of a Pakistani girl named Zoya in a Bollywood. There was no favoritism or referral involved.<\/p>\n

He shared,<\/p>\n

\u201cI was doing a film in Bollywood \u2018Happy Bhag Jaegi\u2019, so in that film, a girl had to play Pakistani girl\u2019s role but at the last moment, she refused to do the character. The producer got worried and they called me to give the name of some Pakistani actresses who can play this character. I was part of the film and I sent them 2-3 names.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, they were also finding Pakistani girls on the internet and they found Momal\u2019s photos. They liked Momal\u2019s work and the director\u2019s assistance said that Momal will be fine for this role. They didn\u2019t know that Momal Sheikh is my daughter, they just suspected that she might be. The director called me to ask about whether she is my daughter or not? I said yes, she is my daughter.<\/p>\n

They told me that they have selected my daughter. They were confused that why I didn\u2019t recommend my daughter for this role but I told them that I don\u2019t recommend my children because it will be wrong. Alhamdulillah, we worked in the movie and the movie was successful.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
