Anyone with love for jewels of PTV from ‘80s will have space in their hearts for actor and screenwriter Sajid Hasan.

Having fallen into profession after being scouted off cricket ground outside his house, Dhoop Kinare star invited viewers to his journey to fame, his long-lasting marriage and his views on commercial scripts littering world of showbiz today. 

“My wife calls me a bachelor husband,” he admitted with wry smile as he chatted away to TV show. Hasan has been married to fitness instructor Shakila Chapra since his thirties and like any devoted husband, credits her entirely for where he is today. Hasan admitted to being fan of Hollywood queens of yesteryear Audrey Hepburn and Vivian Westwood, but neither of them hold candle to his other half.  Father to three sons, Hasan mulled over how any parent was always learning on job. “You have to teach your kids and I don’t know whether I’m good teacher,” he said right off bat. “Once you become dad, you understand why your father was way he was with you!” “My father was very laid-back and gave me nothing but love,” he said warmly. “I don’t remember him ever raising his voice. He always treated me as grown-up and gave me all rope to hang myself, so I did that all time!” “Even when I was 35, I thought I’d enter cricket!” he recalled.

“Dhoop Kinare was big hit by then, but I still wanted to become cricketer! There were so many great cricketers coming out of that ground, like Javed Miandad and Moin Khan and I was convinced I was great all-rounder. But I never knew how to approach authorities right way.”
