One day, to get away from Rufi’s Candy Crush requests and the countless ‘offers’ that keep my studio phone ringing, I went to a shopping mall. I had to wear my sunglasses at night, so that no one could recognise me because that just makes my fans go hysterical, you know. But it became too dark, so I took them off. After that, I wandered where the mall was most crowded, but no one noticed me.
Right then, I saw a kid playing with a toy helicopter in a shop. I was instantly taken back to the time when I used to fly down on the stage in a helicopter amid 35,000 people cheering for me. Today, I have to buy a ticket to walk on the red carpet of a premiere of a new Pakistani film and photo bomb other celebrities, so my pictures are printed in magazines. Look how the tables have turned.
