Wasim Akram Shares Throwback Clip of Fakhar-e-Alam Showing Off His Dancing Skills

A playful throwback has brought a lesser-known side of Fakhar-e-Alam back into the spotlight, thanks to his longtime friend Wasim Akram.

The former Pakistan cricket captain recently shared a clip featuring Fakhar from his earlier days in showbiz, giving fans a glimpse of the entertainer in a very different role. The video, which features Fakhar dancing in an old film sequence, quickly caught attention online and prompted several familiar faces from Pakistan’s entertainment and sports circles to join the conversation.

From Television Host to an Early Showbiz Appearance

Fakhar-e-Alam is widely recognised today as a television host and entertainer, but his career has also included acting.

The throwback footage shared by Wasim comes from a film in which Fakhar appeared opposite actress Resham. The clip offers a nostalgic look at his earlier screen presence and, in particular, his performance in a dance sequence.

Rather than keeping the throwback private, Wasim decided to share the footage publicly, turning his friend’s old performance into a lighthearted social media moment.

A Friendship That Goes Beyond Cricket

The post also reflects the close friendship between Wasim and Fakhar. The two have regularly appeared together as hosts of cricket transmissions, becoming familiar faces during Pakistan’s cricket coverage.

Their friendship has also extended beyond professional commitments. The pair performed Hajj together this year, another indication of their longstanding personal bond.

That familiarity appears to have made Wasim comfortable bringing out a vintage clip that Fakhar might otherwise have preferred to leave in the archives.

Pakistani Stars Join the Fun

The throwback quickly attracted reactions from other public figures, adding another layer to the lighthearted exchange.

Host Shajia Niazi praised the kind of teasing that comes with a close friendship, writing, “Only a true friend can roast you like this.”

Actor Humayun Saeed also responded to the clip, joking that Fakhar has “many talents.” Former Pakistan cricketer Azhar Ali similarly described him as an “all rounder.”

Their reactions helped turn the post into a broader celebration of Fakhar’s varied career and personality rather than simply a resurfaced old performance.

An Entertainer With More Than One Chapter

For audiences who primarily know Fakhar-e-Alam through television hosting and cricket-related broadcasts, the footage provides a reminder that his entertainment career has taken several turns.

The resurfaced film appearance has now become a playful talking point among his friends and followers, while Wasim Akram’s decision to share it has given fans an entertaining glimpse into a chapter from Fakhar’s past.

Sometimes, an old video needs only the right friend to bring it back into the spotlight and in this case, Wasim appears to have found exactly the right one.
