Singer turned actor Ali Zafar made a rare appearance in Karachi last weekend. He was spotted at the Pearl Continental hotel, dinning at roof top hotel Sakura relishing on some delicious sea food menu. Ali talked about his sudden visit to Karachi, “I have just come back from India after performing a show at Delhi for the Lifestyle Pakistan show which was held last weekend. It was a spectacular show and the audience response was overwhelming.” He continues, “I was back in Lahore and now in Karachi for two days to do a shoot for a commercial campaign.” Ali who seemed to have put on some kilos said, “I have started exercising and trying to put on some kilos for my next movie. I have just finished the shoot of ‘Chashme Baddoor’ and looking forward to be back in India by the end of May for the shoot of my next upcoming project.” Ask about his next movie and he says, “It is an interesting story and I will co-star along with Prachi Desai and Chitrangdha Singh.” He adds, “I have been on strict diet and exercise. The role in my next upcoming film demands me to look fit and hence I have been following some exercise as instructed by my fitness instructor. In the movie ‘Chashme Baddoor’ I had lost lot of kilos and now I’m happy that I have got the opportunity to put in extra kilos.” Ali who will be celebrating his birthday next month on 18th May shares his birthday plans, “Frankly, so far I haven’t planned my birthday. But hopefully I should be at the Cannes film festival during that time.” Next Ali is happy to take a break from work and spend some quality time with his family. He says, “It’s always a joy to be home with my family back in Lahore. In fact the other day, I went out with my friends to taste local delicacies at the new food street that has opened up in Lahore.”
