The pretty Mehwish Hayat and the Ahsan Khan transformed Tonite With HSY into a cheery affair with their presence in a candid interview. Their chemistry was evident as they shared fits of laughter throughout the show.
While Mehwish has hit stardom for her item song ‘Billi’ in the Pakistani film Na Maloom Afraad, Ahsan has won many hearts with his excellent acting skills.
HSY asked them how they became such good friends, to which both of them laughed heartily before Mehwish answered: “The first time we worked together was in Mere Qatil Mere Dildaar, and at that time, we knew of each other but hadn’t worked together. He seemed like a nice person, but you get many surprises once you’re on the set, so how this surprise package would turn out was unknown.”
“The surprise was pleasant and because of our characters of that madly in love [couple], we quickly became friends,” shared Mehwish. “We would discuss and build the drama scenes together and that was the start of our friendship.”
Responding to how each started and learnt the skill, Mehwish revealed that she hadn’t learnt dancing from anywhere.
“I am self-taught because we don’t have any institutes here,” admitted Mehwish.
“In fact, I want to open a dance school here,” she added. “I want people to dance because it is the best way of expressing your emotions.”
She further said that many people hold themselves back and she wants them to dance to experience that feeling.
Ahsan also had similar views: “The thing is that after working on something similar, I get bored very quickly so I have to do 10 things at a time. I want to sing, dance, act, do films. I also want to produce and direct because when you have a lot of energy inside you, you want to express it. We never realised that we did a good dance, we just danced.”
He added: “During the rehearsals and even moments before the show, I tell her (Mehwish) that I can’t do it and I can’t remember anything, but as soon as you get on the stage and start performing — something else happens.”
