Young actor Arslan Khan recently shared a bizarre yet hilarious tale about an acting proposal that came to him, seemingly by mistake, all the way from India.

Arslan and his wife, Hira Khan, are a favorite celebrity couple, cherished by fans for their effortless charm and work. While appearing on a recent talk show, Arslan reflected on his career path and recounted this unusual incident.

He explained that he initially started in modeling before making a successful shift into dramas, mentioning the popularity boost from his recent hit drama.

On the show, Arslan revealed that he got a direct message online with a series offer. After he exchanged contact information, the foreign team quickly started pressing him about his fees and the shoot schedule.

“For a while, everything felt completely normal,” Arslan recalled. “But then, they let slip the specific city where the filming was planned. I immediately Googled the location, and that’s when the penny dropped: it was a major city in India. I suddenly understood they had contacted me under the mistaken assumption that I was an Indian actor.”

Arslan wrapped up the story with a laugh, noting that the offer was both “strange and highly entertaining,” especially because it opened his eyes early on to the unpredictable nature of international job offers.
