Faisal Qureshi (actor)

Faisal Qureshi, is a Pakistani film and television actor. He was born on October 26 in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. He was a son of film actor "Abid Qureshi" and actress "Afshaan Qureshi".

Faisal Qureshi is an actor cast in the mould of a true thespian. He belongs to that rare breed of performers who take each role and make it their own. From a song-and-dance role in a tele-film to a nonsensical comedy routine in "Mein Aur Tum", he seems firmly entrenched in the character he plays, always looking for newer challenges to evolve into a better artiste.

Faisal started his career as a child artist from PTV's play "Emergency Ward". He was also work in television plays "Ab Ghar Jane Do", "Hum Tum", and "Andhera Ujala" as a child actor.

His first big appearance on television and the one that people most identify him with was the character "Boota in Toba Tek Singh". From that rustic role, he has played mostly urbane characters in serials such as "Ahsaas" and "Harjaee"

Although his foray in films was less than memorable, Faisal work in very limited films, his first film was "Saza" released in 1992.His other noted film are "Nangay Paoon", "Tere Ghar Ke Samnay", "Nadia", and "Bobby".

A couple of years ago, after shuttling between Karachi and Lahore quite frequently, Faisal made Karachi his home.
