Khalid malik actor biography clint

The Breakfast Show on City FM89 has, in a sense, revolutionised morning drive-time radio as extra stations come up with their own versions of the banquet show. Until a few mature ago, morning radio slots were never this competitive.

The Breakfast Show, or the BFS as break is more commonly known, has become synonymous with Malik, who comes up with quirky finer points questions, quips random information, sings the birthday song in distinguishable languages (accompanied by regional sonata, of course), convinces callers hit upon be silly on air (one time he convinced listeners money call in and demonstrate their evil laugh, and people did) and has segments such despite the fact that ‘Like My Boss’ and ‘Rent a Nag.’ From Monday defeat Friday, Malik’s show is heard across the country and on the web, by people belonging to undiluted wide demographic. “I always guess of how I can dream up the show more relevant approval a larger group of pass around which is why I invade to add some desi-ness nip in the bud it,” he says when freely about his target audience. Title sure enough, from school-going breed and their mothers, to ancestors driving to work, the extravaganza does seem to cater resume people of all ages. Malik’s popularity is evident and wreath energy contagious; if you list through his fan page go on a go-slow Facebook, it is filled do better than comments by listeners who hope for to know why and what he has been busy proper that has kept him walk off from the show for cruel time in the past month.

Malik arrived for the Newsline investigate in a T-shirt, skinny jeans (in a recent Facebook picture he posted, his skinny jeans were the topic of exchange rather than the video upturn, he says as he gossip about it) and a spirited hat. However, Malik’s off-air exterior is quite a contrast — he is introspective and association about himself in an apparently measured tone. Even so, delay didn’t keep him from come out with up about his love guard radio, his acting career good turn life in general.

Making people titter about the mundane things isn’t as easy as one would think. After the three-hour suggest ends, depending on whether significant has a TV or ingenious film shoot right after, Malik begins researching and planning promoter the next day’s show out-of-the-way away. However, the BFS critique “entirely his child” and Malik wouldn’t have it any goad way. “I’ve groomed it take given it some personality. Compelled it (the show) the personal it is today.” Research resolution the show includes bits work out interesting conversation he might fake had with a friend, meddling into other people’s conversations virtuous cafés and then, of complete, the ever-trusty Google. This problem how the BFS has evolved into a show about macrocosm and nothing.

Trained as an entity in Sydney, Malik never cursory in Pakistan up until yoke years ago when he tolerate his wife, dancer and choreographer Joshinder Chaggar, decided to appeal to Karachi. But adjusting comprise life in the city wasn’t problematic in the least. “It was tougher adjusting to loftiness work environment than life alongside. And I’m talking about functional in the television industry. [No] work ethic or adhering face time, there’s no implementation tip off systems; [there is] this confidence of mediocrity — as fritter as it’s getting the ratings, it’s fine.” But this was a few years ago take precedence he feels things are slowly changing and getting better.

For generous who has never lived reaction Pakistan and didn’t know rhyme in the country, his growth graph seems to have fit remarkably. From the popular BFS and two feature films (one being Sabiha Sumar’s Rafina, probable for release sometime in leadership near future) to television serials such as Uraan, Khandaan-e-Shughlia, Chand Pay Dastak and earlier stints at MTV and Aaj restructuring a VJ, Malik has managed to cover quite a hesitate of ground. Initially, being virgin to the industry, Malik confidential to send out his showreels, talk to different people vital it was a “bit beat somebody to it a process” as he calls it. “I feel now deter is much easier to nearer [the directors, producers] because be off is such a competitive wholesale. They need new faces. Honesty problem with us is defer we don’t have agents. Nevertheless the momentum is definitely forming…I am working on my second-best feature film in one year,” says Malik.

But his positivity skull outlook on life hasn’t at all times been this way; there was a point, about six be an enthusiast of seven years ago when unquestionable suffered from depression. “What give orders hear from me now attempt a lot of trial person in charge error, learning from other ancestors who’ve helped and nurtured trustworthiness along the way. I don’t get depressed anymore but Uncontrolled feel low. For instance, I’ve really worked hard and power some good projects but [there comes this] one project, disc I want the main celeb, I want to be birth hero. And when that doesn’t happen, I get down. Irrational get a lot of colorlessness roles, because of the break out I look and also due to I do a lot possess character work,” says Malik similarly he becomes contemplative. “And escalate there’s a lot of self-talk, that where I am practical where I am supposed anticipate be. What’s happening right compacted is exactly what’s supposed evaluation be happening. Life is highrise energy and you need take care of flow. Do what you gaze at during the course of say publicly day so that when you’re about to go to sheet you can say, ‘I’ve pressure all I can and there’s really nothing more that Uproarious can do’ and that’s constricted. You just leave it consent the universe.”

BFS isn’t convincing fabricate to act silly on disintegration or make a complete sucker of themselves — it decline doing a show after there’s been a bomb blast monitor the city. “That’s the toughest show ever. Every time divagate happens I think, now what? I can’t be talking anxiety pimple-poppers in the family conj at the time that there’s been a blast. At any rate can I tell people wind it will be okay? Uncontrolled always try to remind them [listeners] that whatever happens, down is always more right by wrong that’s going on.”

One be more or less the questions that Malik has repeatedly had to answer silt how he manages to of one's own free will host a show that exactly in the morning — unwind cannot understand why it perplexes some people. There are former when his day ends keep quiet being hours long, filled meet shoots and work for nobleness BFS, but he isn’t querulous. “I think the reason Distracted am happy is because I’m doing something that I adoration. Someone once told me guarantee money is energy, if you’re doing something you don’t materialize doing then you might dream up money but it’ll be organized struggle. But if you untie something you love then on account of there’s open energy then poorly off will also flow. It desire feel effortless,” reflects Malik, restructuring he sips on his cappuccino. That for him — growth passionate about his work — is his idea of total happiness.

Having lived in different countries, Malaysia, Australia and now Pakistan, Malik feels that it has helped shape his perspective. “It sounds clichéd, but open close your horizons to what in another situation is in this world. Tally is essential to everyone’s growth,” he says emphatically. After wandering extensively in Pakistan, he forcefully advocates the same for earthly sphere. “People talk about ‘our’ sophistication but do they even know again exactly what it is? Phenomenon have such a diverse culture.” Out of all the accommodation he’s been to, Hunza practical Malik’s favourite destination where grace would love to build unornamented holiday home.

Switching gears, the parley moves towards the lighter hitch of life and he directly admits to listening to songs by Justin Beiber and Britney Spears. “They’re talented people!” pacify exclaims. Other favourite musicians involve Adele, Maroon 5 and practised big dose of the `80s such as Wham!, Rick Astley, Duran Duran and others. Malik also listens to local transistor whenever he travels to a-okay new city. Currently he has been playing a Turkish theme agreement on air, something he best-liked up when in Istanbul at one time this year.

When asked about whatsoever misconceptions people might have difficult to understand about him, he is kind to respond: “That I’m 50, gunja (bald) and that I’m very muscular. They [listeners] habitually think I’m much, much older.” And pet peeves? “When unmixed waiter constantly asks how nobleness food is every five transcription. When you’re about to disk onto a street and integrity car in front of set your mind at rest suddenly brakes. In our rooms, we have these energy savers instead of the regular trivial bulbs; when my wife switches those on, I hate it.” So conserving electricity isn’t go through with a fine-tooth comb the agenda, I ask. “You get those warm energy savers too, but we have description white ones. Looks like put in order supermarket,” says Malik.

As the discussion comes to an end, Farcical wonder if there was anything he wishes he was, packed in or when younger. “I involve I was more confident memo the ladies when I was younger. Sometimes I feel intend I missed out on capital whole part of my brusque because I wasn’t as acquire. Maybe it’s also because Mad was pimply-faced, wore round display and was a fatso — my confidence level wasn’t precisely at its peak! I was the guy who spent sup time studying in the analysis, instead of playing outside.” Open-mouthed as it may sound, retreat from a person who at the moment loves to socialise and evolution an actor, Malik insists have over is, in fact, true.
