He may enjoy a tremendous fan following, especially among girls, but Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan says he does not want to be just an eye candy in a film.

I just don’t want to be an eye candy in a film. For me, as an actor, meaty roles are what I rely on. (Like) dancing is not one of my fortes, so I feel the ability to try, and get into different characters which involves you being taken to a completely new avatar.

The 34-year-old rose to prominence in the 2007 Pakistani movie Khuda Kay Liye, before gaining acclaim for his Pakistani TV shows Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. When it comes to versatility, Fawad looks up to Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and the actor aims to attain that kind of career graph.

An example of getting into different characters would be Aamir Khan. I really admire what he has done with his career. That kind of graph is what I want to achieve. Trying something new every time, not letting it remain stable.
