I have to prove myself again and again as an actor: Ali Safina

Pakistani actor Ali Safina appeared in an interview with a publication and shared how he does not want to be known as a comic actor. He further discussed about growing competition in the showbiz industry.

Safina has mostly worked in comedy serials, but he does not want to be known as a comic actor. He stated, “I don’t associate myself to this label that I’m a comedian. I think I’m just an actor and every character is equally important to me.”

He continued, “Ironically, my debut role in television was such a loud, Punjabi character and it was so well-written that everyone absolutely loved it, so, it has become a part of my identity now. Unfortunately, I have never caged myself in a box and have tried to leave a footprint as an artist with any kind of work I have done. However, my comedic roles have left a bigger impression on people.”

The actor was asked if he is happy with his career right now, to which he responded, “I am at a place in my career where I have to prove myself again and again. There is a lot of competition and I strive to make myself better with every opportunity without being monotonous. It is like a blessing in disguise for me; the lead roles in our dramas require a certain look and acting but people get bored of them quickly because there is no variation.”
