Actress Naveen Waqar has done a great deal of work in dramas. She was invited as guest on ‘Bol Nights with Ahsan Khan’ along with Faizan Khawaja. Ahsan Khan asked her a question about her career that had it been difficult for her facing camera for the first time as she didn’t belong to this field and none of her family ever been in this industry. She said no as I had been luckily doing radio for many years later on I became a VJ for four years so I had been fortunate enough to face camera fearlessly and I had been lucky to have contacted by producers them self as now the work is given on the numbers of followers. If you got followers in millions you are called but for ne it wasn’t the case.

Faizan Khawaja added that the presets have changed now. “You get work on the number of Followers. If you have Followers in millions, then you will be cast,” on which Ahsan Khan immediately rejected the theory and said, “I don’t agree what Naveen said. I have heard that if one doesn’t know acting, we can extract acting out of them, but in the meantime, just cast the one with massive following.”

Ahsan Khan further said, “Deepika and Priyanka are also buying Followers. Does that means they don’t know how to act?”

“No, but a girl has done four dramas and has 3 to 4 million subscribers. Are those mad who have been working for 10 years,” Naveen Waqar replied.

Khan assured her that she was a wonderful actress.
