Pakistani Affan Waheed may not be a regular face in the television industry, however where the actor lacks in quantity he makes up for with quality acting and a strong penchant for his field. Having bagged 20 hit serials within a span of 12 years, the 33 year old has done pretty good for himself. He is particularly well known for the role of Musaf in Aik Pal.

In an exclusive interview with The Express Tribune, the actor opened up about his ‘love life’, his take on the industry and much more!
When questioned whether the rumours about him and Iqra Aziz were true, Waheed addressed them head on and said, “No, none of it is true. The whole thing started off in jest and took a life of its own. People started believing that the two of us were romantically involved with each other. Iqra and I took it in stride. We still do.” He further added, “She is a powerful actor, a wonderful colleague and a good friend. My relationship with Iqra is not romantic. Not at all.”
The next question was pretty self explanatory; how was it that a successful and handsome man in his 30s was still single? To which he simply replied, “I’m not ready to get hitched at this time. I am single by choice.”

The actor also discussed the recent projects that he was working on and was interested in. “I’m currently shooting for Ahmed Bhatti’s drama serial, Baydardi. It tells the story of Shafay, a young man who is diagnosed with HIV and has to deal with the social, cultural, emotional, and psychological consequences of the diagnosis. The serial deals with the unexplored subject of HIV with great responsibility. Shafay is straight but afflicted with a disease that a lot of people associate with homosexuality and promiscuity. The play destigmatizes the disease and presents the truth of HIV in a very effective manner. I believe that it will be one of the most important plays of the year.”
