Pak actor Fawad, wife welcome second child

Actor Fawad Khan and wife Sadaf have been blessed with a baby girl, their second child together. 

Fawad’s manager Hassan Khalid confirmed the news to the Pakistani media and said, “The actor was with his wife at the time of delivery and both mother and child are healthy.” 

The 34-year-old actor married Sadaf, his childhood sweetheart, in November 2005. The couple already has a six-year-old son Ayaan. The actor, who is one of the most-sought after Pakistani imports to Bollywood, has been at the center of a political storm in India since Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena threatened Pakistani artistes to leave India.

They want a ban on Pakistani artistes in the wake of Uri terror attack. IMPAA (Indian Motion Pictures’ Artists Association) has come out with a resolution to ban all Pakistani artistes and technicians till the situation is back to normal. 

The issue, however, has divided the Indian film industry with people like Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap and Hansal Mehta opposing the demand for the fan while celebrities like Randeep Hooda, Sonali Bendre, Nana Patekar and others backing it. Fawad has a cameo in Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, slated to release in India on October 28, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai.
