The smoking hot Pakistani import, Fawad Khan, has been making girls swoon across the borders. His shows on Zindagi, Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai, have made him a TV heartthrob. Last seen in the mediocre hit Khoobsoorat (his debut in Bollwyood) opposite Sonam Kapoor, the dashing dude celebrates his 33 birthday today. We give you five reasons why he is the next big thing in Indian TV.

Acting Skills:

He is a good actor who can add depth to this character. He was able to pull off a character as inconsequential as the one in his Bollywood debut. Then he can do anything, right? Well we are counting on the same.

Good Looks:

When you're as good looking as this Pakistani actor, half your work is done. Really. You just have to work on the lines a little and connect with the audiences as and when needed. Not an issue for our actor, is it?

Singer and Musician:

We need talented artists in the industry and our man is rich in that. He is a singer who used to play with a band in Pakistan. He is also a gifted musician. It wouldn't hurt to see him pull these skills off on the small screen, would it?

Genuinely a Good Guy:

There's such warmth associated with him that he comes across as a genuinely a good fellow. He has been married to his longtime girlfriend for years now and stays as far away from controversy as possible. That's an asset in the glamour industry, no?

Fan Following:

He is definitely the next big thing as he has a massive fan following that stretches across the borders. With such a crazy fan base, there's no stopping him from becoming a hit, is there?

We do hope that he becomes as famous as he desires to be. Here's wishing the lad a lot of success!
