From Dreams of Music to the Spotlight

During the interview, Mikaal frankly declared, “Before I became an actor, I wanted to be a singer.” He expressed how his career wasn’t planned; he started as a model and then worked his way into acting and gained immense popularity. However, his musical career was restrained due to the degradation of Pakistan’s music in the late 2000s.
