Veteran Pakistani actor Tauqeer Nasir revealed that Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn has praised his acting in several interviews, even admitting that he is inspired by him. For Tauqeer Nasir, this acknowledgment is nothing short of a huge honor.
In a recent interview, Tauqeer Nasir opened up about his artistic journey and unique acting style. Referring to Ajay Devgn’s comments, he said it is rare in society for one artist to openly recognize another’s talent — a gesture that shows Devgn’s greatness. Just as he himself was inspired by Waheed Murad, Nasir believes this culture of appreciation is a beautiful tradition.
Talking about his own craft, Tauqeer Nasir said he always portrays characters true to their psychology and emotions. He avoids artificial dramatization, instead bringing out natural frustrations, instincts, and feelings.
The seasoned actor also shared how he broke the stereotype that poor characters are always weak and submissive. Through his performances, he showed that even a poor man can have an aggressive tone, while such behavior is often more associated with the elite class.
When Tauqeer Nasir heard that Ajay Devgn admired him, he watched some of Devgn’s films, including Omkara. He noticed striking similarities in their styles — especially in the way emotions are powerfully expressed through the eyes.
For him, the eyes are the strongest tool in acting, as they deliver emotions directly and with depth. 👀✨
