Imran Abbas Quits Acting, Chooses a New Path
ISLAMABAD (Daily Qudrat): “I stopped working in TV dramas two or three years ago. Now my focus is on real estate and construction projects. My parents are no longer in this world and I have no children either, so I want to do something in life that will benefit me in the Hereafter.”
Popular actor and model of the Pakistani showbiz industry Imran Abbas has surprised fans by making an important revelation about his career. The artist who won people’s hearts with his acting on TV screens for years has now adopted a new direction in life.
Speaking on the phone with actress and host Mishi Khan on a private TV channel’s programme recently, Imran Abbas said that he has been away from television dramas for quite some time and currently has no intention of doing further work in this field.
According to him, over the past two to three years he has completely changed his professional priorities, and now most of his engagements are related to business activities.
The actor said that very few people know that he is also a qualified architect and has an old connection with the construction sector. Using this expertise, he has started a property and construction business in Islamabad.
Sharing details of his new project, Imran Abbas revealed that he is having a high-rise building constructed near Islamabad Airport, which may take an estimated two and a half years to complete.
However, the most emotional moment of the conversation came when he spoke about his personal life and future goals.
The actor said that after his parents’ death, much has changed in his life. He has no children of his own either, which is why he now wants to spend his energies on works that create ease in other people’s lives. According to Imran Abbas, he is also making time for social welfare and helping needy individuals, because his desire is not merely to achieve worldly success but to perform such good deeds whose reward continues to reach him even after he departs from this world.
Imran Abbas’s remarks regarding his distance from showbiz and growing engagements in the business world indicate a significant change in his career. However, he specifically mentioned not working in TV dramas and did not clearly confirm a permanent retirement from all fields of acting, including films.
