Career
Radio jockey and model
Born in Lahore, his family moved to Saudi Arabia and when they came back in 2005 and settled down in Karachi, he began his career as an RJ for the hit radio show Dude, Where's My Song? before becoming a model.[1]
Music
He has released a few songs, including Tere Naal Naal with Dino Ali in 2011 and the rap single Itna Deep Jaoge in 2022.[3] In 2023 he released another rap song, Escobar, for which he also co-wrote the lyrics.[4] Referencing the Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, the track was noted for drawing on Western hip-hop traditions of flaunting affluence, with lyrics and a music video that emphasize luxury, expensive cars, cash, and an aspirational lifestyle, rather than the more common rags-to-riches narratives in local hip-hop.[5]
Acting
He made his debut as a television actor in the 2015 television soap series, Riffat Appa Ki Bahuein. He gained popularity by playing the role of "Saarim" in romantic saga Khaani, "Arham" in Mehreen Jabbar's small screen venture Dino Ki Dulhaniya and as "Rayed" in Rang Mahal (2021).[6][7][8]
