Omer Shahzad, a model-turned-actor with a large fanbase, gained further popularity with his role in Tamasha and his appearances in several dramas, including Jawani Phir Nahi Aani 2. Known for his commitment to fitness, he frequently advocates for a healthy lifestyle.
In a recent interview with FHM, Shahzad discussed how the Pakistani television industry is still hesitant about openly showcasing fitness or physique, mentioning that actors face limitations in portraying physicality. He gave an example of requesting a swimming scene for his current drama, despite having a pool at home, highlighting the overreach of censorship.
Shahzad also noted that many actors in Pakistan hit the gym without having specific fitness goals. He referenced Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who gained and lost weight for his role in Dangal, as an example of how fitness can be tailored for a particular role.
On a more personal note, Shahzad shared a surprising detail about his commitment to fitness: he didn’t eat any food at his own sister’s wedding. Despite his sister’s displeasure, he stuck to his routine, avoiding unhealthy foods to maintain his strict fitness regimen.
