The Journey
To truly understand Saad Qureshi, you must look beyond the polished on-screen hero and the Instagram posts showing a stylish, composed family man. People who know him often describe him as having a quiet intensity—a reserved person who changes completely when the director calls “action.” In an industry filled with larger-than-life personalities, Saad stands out for his authenticity, discipline, and genuine desire to use his platform for good.
The Roots: From Multan to Islamabad to Global Horizons
Saad Qureshi’s story starts in the historic city of Multan, Punjab, often called the “City of Saints.” He was born on October 9, 1991, as the youngest of four brothers. He spent his early years there but maintains a strong emotional connection to the city. His family soon moved to Islamabad, where he grew up in a structured, educated household that emphasized values, hard work, and education.
Like many young Pakistanis with ambition, Saad sought higher studies abroad. He moved to Canada and earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from York University in Toronto. This international experience expanded his perspective, blending Eastern roots with Western professionalism. After graduation, rather than chasing a corporate career, he came back to Lahore to join the family business. However, acting had already started calling him.
The Accidental Actor: Talent Hunt to Breakthrough
Saad’s entry into show business wasn’t a lifelong dream he had from childhood. In 2015, he entered a talent hunt organized by Geo Entertainment. That single choice changed everything. His debut came in Khuda Aur Mohabbat Season 2, where he played Kamran. He took on small roles in Ghairat and Shadi Mubarak Ho on ARY Digital, but it was 2018’s Pukaar that made him a household name. Playing Fahad Sultan, Saad showed emotional depth and screen presence that critics and audiences adored.
Subsequent roles solidified his standing: Ki Jaana Main Kaun (Hum TV), Meer Abru, and notably , which earned him praise for his nuanced performance. He continued to pick diverse projects—, , (as Moosa, a standout role in 2024), and the 2026 Geo Entertainment drama where he plays Maaz alongside Muneeb Butt and Laiba Khan. His filmography also includes telefilms, a short film (), and web series like .
