Actor Furqan Qureshi is on a high these days. He has two prime-time dramas on air, Aulaad,<\/strong> and Raqs e Bismil,<\/strong> on ARY Digital and Hum TV respectively. He recently did a web series, Ek Jhooti Love Story<\/strong>, with the iconic, Mehreen Jabbar and has many more interesting projects lined up.<\/p>\n

However, life wasn’t always this good for Furqan. The actor has seen his fair share of struggles in the industry. In an interview with Something Haute<\/a>, Furqan shared his life story which left everyone astonished.<\/p>\n

Early days of struggle for Furqan Qureshi<\/h2>\n

Although Furqan enjoyed a great childhood, life took a drastic shift when he turned 20. His father passed away which created a lot of financial challenges for his family. Despite the odds not being in his favor, Furqan was adamant about entering the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

“I was thin, I was desperate and I was lost yet there was a divine power perhaps that pushed me to keep going forward.” He said. “I used to get Rs 2000 per day and I was not able to support my family at all. My sisters took up all the responsibility,” added Furqan. The struggle continued for many years.<\/p>\n

First big break<\/h2>\n

Things took a turn for the better when Furqan was offered the drama serial 100 Din Ki Kahani<\/strong> on Hum Sitarey in which he played the part of a cancer patient. The drama helped him attract eyeballs but it was still difficult for him to find good opportunities.<\/p>\n

“My only goal was to earn money hence I was ready to do any sort of role.” It was only after Meray Paas Tum Ho<\/strong> that he experienced true fame and that is why he considers the drama his biggest achievement.<\/p>\n

The road ahead<\/h2>\n

“I was a mere friend of the hero but that drama opened up so many opportunities for me. Even the pizza delivery guy started recognizing me after MPTH,” said Furqan.<\/p>\n
