Little did he know that it was going to be a rare occurrence in his career because it has been observed that Haroon Shahid never gets the girl in any of his projects. He was married to Mahira’s character, and though theirs was a turbulent relationship, the couple was together till the very end of the movie. Lady Luck was smiling on him as he got to work with a veteran filmmaker as well as a superstar like Mahira Khan as his leading lady in his debut role.
Later, he forayed into acting with Shoaib Mansoor’s film, Verna. He became well-known as The Ganderi Boy because of his rendition of Naseebo Lal’s song Pyar Di Ganderi. The musician-cum-actor stepped into the entertainment industry as the lead singer of a pop-rock band, SYMT. Haroon Shahid is a fairly popular face on Pakistani television.
