Imliee Actor Fahmaan Khan's Demand For Hike In Fees Left Him Jobless For 8 Months

TV star Fahmaan Khan rose to fame after featuring in Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka and since then he has been part of popular TV shows including Imlie. However, not many know that the actor was jobless for 8 months as he demanded a hike in his fees. In an interview, he recalled the tough time and shared that it was he was “stupid” to ask for fee hike.

When Fahman Khan rejected shows due to less budget

Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, the TV actor recalled the time when he rejected shows due to less budget after the success of Kya Qusoor Hai Amala Ka, leading him to start from scratch. He also revealed he had to do three cameos after rejecting lead role shows due to his “stupidity”. He added that the show’s success got into his head and he thought since now he is famous, so he should raise his salary expectations. “That is naive, that is not being mature, that is being stupid and I learned from that,” he continued.  

After 8 months, he stopped getting offers and that is when it hit him and started approaching people. “I went back and I called everybody I knew and went back to do auditions, standing out, did things from scratch again and I bagged the next show Kundali Bhagya as a cameo,” he concluded.

The lesson he learned from his mistake

This incident shook him up and made him realise that he shouldn’t be taking anything lightly. “I learned not to take anything lightly, to get carried away with what you have. The good thing is that I learned it in that space when it was nothing when it was not a big jhatka to you. It wouldn’t have been a big jhatka if I had learned it now. I’m glad I learned it in that space,” he said.
