Fahad Qayyum

Highlights

• I am very passionate about acting and spend most of my spear time trying to develop myself in every way possible, I am highly interested in the acting industry and 110% dedicated towards acting and hope to make it a career. Personally I am trying to carve my name in the Bollywood industry and I’m sure my obsession, effort and love for it will not go unnoticed. I have experience as an extra and also in theatre. I can speak fluent English, Urdu, Hindi and relatively good Punjabi. I am very independent and also enjoy mixing with people and great to work in groups with. I am also familiar with some Shakespeare plays. As my secondary school is a specialist in art’s, (which includes Art, Drama and Music) they were entered in the Shakespeare festival performing “Othello”, unfortunately three days before the night of the performance the main lead was excluded from school which left the group struggling to go ahead with the performance. My teacher quoted to the group “There is only man I could possibly ask to save our schools dignity and this performance and that is Fahad”, I was offered to be part of Shakespeare’s “Othello” as the main character himself “Othello” and I said yes knowing I only had three days to learn all his lines and prepare for the performance. I managed to learn all the lines with ease and the performance went wonderful, most of the audience believe it was one of the best Shakespeare’s they’ve seen being preformed as they came up to me and congratulated me and the group. I have achieved a silver award in arts award through drama. At GCSE I achieved a BTEC level distinction in drama which is equivalent to two A’s at GCSE and A* in every performance of mine. I also spend my time studying other actors and making notes few hours a week in process of achieving my very best. Acting isn’t just my hobby, but my everything, and making myself be a part of Bollywood is my goal. God gave me the love for acting and also gave me the talent to learn it. So how can he keep me away from achieving my goal? How can he stop me from having my name in Bollywood? I was told that the goal I want to achieve is virtually impossible and to move on from this celebrity dream, but instead I made a promise... until I don’t fulfil my drama I won’t let anything distract or come in my way. Days, months and years, I don’t keep an account of these like an ordinary person I only keep an account on how much I have learnt and how much I have left to.
