Fazal Hussain opens up about praise for Mitti De Baway

Pakistani actor Fazal Hussain has spoken about the overwhelming response to his performance in Mitti De Baway, saying the drama has changed the way audiences view his acting abilities.

Fazal, who has appeared in projects including Ramchand Pakistani, Baby Baji, Beshar Momin and Jo Bichar Gaye, plays the younger version of Wahaj Ali’s character, Baala, in the Green Entertainment drama.

In a recent interview with FUCHSIA Magazine, the actor revealed that he expected the drama to attract attention because of its leading cast but was surprised by the strong response to the younger characters.

He said the appreciation was particularly meaningful because he had long wanted audiences to recognise his acting potential. According to Fazal, people began sharing edits of his performance and contacting him after watching the drama, which made him realise that his work had finally connected with viewers.

The actor said he was pleased that the project had changed public perceptions about his abilities. He added that he now feels more confident about taking on challenging roles and wants to portray characters that demand a different level of acting.

Fazal also discussed the difficulties he faced while working on the drama, particularly the Punjabi accent. He admitted that he was not familiar with many Punjabi words and would sometimes switch to Urdu while rehearsing or delivering dialogues.

Despite the challenge, he worked on developing an authentic Punjabi accent for the role. The actor said the experience and response to Mitti De Baway have encouraged him to explore more demanding characters in the future.
