Pakistan’s entertainment industry is fervently producing a fresh crop of actors that are poised to reach stardom. Osama Tahir is one such artist that is making us proud while making his mark as the television’s ‘good guy’.
He might not exactly be what you call a household name but has come on everyone’s radar. Getting his big start from Dar Si Jati Hai Sila in 2017, Osama has been on a roll ever since.
But he has wisely chosen his projects. A look at his career trajectory tells us so and with blockbuster stories like Belapur Ki Dayan, Hania, Deewar e Shab, and Ruswai in his resume, the star reflects that he cares about to be a part of worthy tales.

Currently, he has floored us with his impressive performance as Shayan in Mushk. From a suave, dandy hero in London to a haggard and miserable prisoner in jail; Osama braced the challenge of pulling off the character with grace and aplomb.
Every week, we review his performance as he shines through the scenes, proving his competitiveness in a star-studded cast. His energy and acting game matched with those of the rest. He has sharp chemistry with Momal and we genuinely ship their on-screen pair now.
We sat down with Osama for a heart-to-heart to talk about Mushk. We asked him the most burning question of the drama having a tragic conclusion. While he remained tight-lipped over the matter, he had a lot to say about working with Imran Ashraf and AehsunTaslish.
Why did you choose Mushk? Was it AehsnTalish’s direction, Imran Ashraf’s script, or working with Hum TV?
It was a combination of the three, to be honest. But most importantly it was AehsnTalish’s direction. Good directors have a way to see things in a very different light. And that expands my perspective as an actor as well. And then we have Imran’s storytelling. All the situations were so much fun, especially my character’s tragedy.
We are loving your performance as Shayan in Mushk. Which part so far has been the most challenging for you to portray?
The physical transformation was very tricky. The special makeup effects were really tiresome and then we had to go and perform with myself and SohailSahab. The emotional disintegration and growth were also something I had to dig out to create Shayan.
Mushk, amongst all its sub-plots, highlights a major issue of child marriages. Do you think Shayan’s character is sending the right message across on how to deal with such a major issue?
Child marriages are wrong, yet they happen every day in Pakistan, despite being against the law. I think this is what was being highlighted, that even if one or both parties aren’t in favor of it how it can still be enforced upon. But there’s also the idea of how one can fight it, and that’s part of the journey too for Shayan.
What will be your advice to Shayan for his steps in the future?
I will advise him to keep fighting. Even in the worst situations. Keep fighting.
You told us in an earlier interview that Mushk is a tragic love story? Shall we gear up for heartbreak?
No comments (Smiles).
You and Momal make quite an unconventional couple. How was it working with her?
It was great. Momal is wonderful. We had to engage in wide ranges of emotions in a very short time, shooting wise. It was actually a really enlightening experience.
Aehsun Talish as a fellow actor and as a director; describe how is he like while donning both caps?
Aehsun was fantastic because he’s an inclusive artist as both a director and as an actor. He would ask or listen to how I would respond to him and we would try different things. And I suppose that showed.
Imran Ashraf is always raving about your talent. How has the experience been working with him?
Imran Ashraf is a wonderful person, immensely talented, and an extremely down to earth guy. Working with him was a blast. It was actually a lot of fun. We had to shoot one of the nights and he could see I was getting tired. But he was full of energy and kept me pumped for our scenes. It was absolutely wonderful working with him.
Tell us your favorite memory from the sets of Mushk.
They would have to be the Qaid-Khana scenes. I’ll never forget it, for it is very difficult and to be one of the most fun shoots I had ever done.
What is next for Osama?
It is all a secret. You’ll hear about it in the coming months.
