2. Ali Enjoys Doing Negative Characters!
According to Ali, when he came into the entertainment industry, all he wanted to be was a hero. But, when that couldn’t happen, he chose to grab diverse characters, and in that process, he got many negative roles and started enjoying doing them. Moreover, he told us that while doing those negative characters, he was also offered lead roles but he doesn’t quite enjoy doing a simple “hero” role because he doesn’t get much room to improvise the character.
Jo hero hota hai us k pas 3 batain hoti hain total;
1). Mama mujhe yeh larki pasand agai hai
2). Mama please aisa na karen.
3). Mai tum se buhat mohabbat krta hoon, please mujhe chordh kr na jao.

Furthermore, he explains that he lost his ability to think that either he should make the figure mute, blind, or deaf and is always looking to add some method to make it look special on the screen. He says a hero doesn’t have much to say, other than a few things to make him look good. However, Ali says that to date, he searches for negative characters because it has a lot of room to express and margin to improvise in the role. Moreover, he clarifies that as an actor, we should choose negative characters more nevertheless, rather than having hundreds of scenes in the serial.

Ali says that when he read the script of Ghisi Piti Mohabbat, he got nervous because there were so many intimate scenes with Samiya. He then clarifies that Ramsha Khan is his first cousin, and since childhood, they have always been like siblings.
I don’t think a lot of people know this but Ramsha is my first cousin. She is my aunt’s daughter from my mother’s side (Meri khala ki beiti hai woh).
-Ali Abbas
Furthermore, he explained that on the set, they had to hold hands and deliver dialogues while looking into each other’s eyes. He and Ramsha used to get very nervous in the beginning.

When you hold an actress’s hand, you do ask, can I hold your hand? Or while hugging, can I hug you like this?

Ali says if we make auditions mandatory for every role, then this acting lot will change. If that happens then “the actors working now will be swiped out, and new actors will take over,” he believes.

-Ali Abbas
