Emmad Irfani

Emmad Irfani came to acting from fashion. He was pushed into modelling by his aunt in 2000, won best male model awards at the Lux Style Awards and the MTV Pakistan style awards, and was nominated again in 2006 and 2007. He has said the actor Arjun Rampal inspired him to focus on acting, which he did from 2013.

Since then he has played leads in serials on Geo Entertainment, ARY Digital and Hum TV, while still modelling for national and international brands. He grew up in a military family that moved with his father's postings before settling in Lahore, where he studied to master's level. His great-grandmother was the sister of the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal, and the filmmaker Farjad Nabi is his cousin.

Two of his dramas are on this guide. He appears in the ARY hit Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum (2024), and in 2026 he plays Sheheryar in Mehreen Jabbar's Gulbahar, which is on air now.

His film career began in 2018 with a cameo in his cousin Farjad Nabi's 7 Din Mohabbat In. He was also cast in his first film lead, in Shoaib Mansoor's Aasmaan Bolay Ga.
