Early life
He was born in Lahore, Pakistan . His father belonged to Urdu Speaking community, hailing from Hyderabad Deccan but settled in Lahore, while his mother is a Sindhi speaking Memon. His mother Afshan Qureshi and aunt Rozina Qureshi were famous film actresses of their times.[8] Now his mother appears mostly on the smaller screen. His father, Abid Qureshi was an actor too, and wanted to see his son achieve great heights as an actor and to prepare him, he enrolled Qureshi into every sport, skill and activity imaginable - horse-riding, classical dancing, swimming, cricket and the list goes on. Faysal was just over 17 years old when his father got diagnosed with brain haemorrhage. All their wealth and property was spent on his treatment and that's when Qureshi decided to appear into films, to support his family. Unfortunately, just a month before his movie released, his father died, leaving his wish of seeing his son as a movie star unfulfilled. To this day, this remains Faysal's biggest regret that his father could not witness his success.[9][10]
Career
Quraishi began his career as a child artist and appeared in the plays Emergency Ward and Andhera Ujala for PTV.[9] He made his film debut as an actor in the 1992 film Saza. He starred in 19 movies over the span of 4 years, but could not create a concrete place for himself, and switched to the smaller screen. He first played minor roles in television serials before landing his first lead role as "Boota" in Boota from Toba Tek Singh in 1999 which made him an overnight star, then there was no looking back. Faysal has also appeared as a judge on competition shows Dum Hai To Entertain Kar and Nachle. He also hosted the reality show Hero Banney Ki Tarang and the morning show Muskurati Morning on TVOne Global. He also played a variety of characters in many critically acclaimed dramas, including Meri Zaat Zarra-e-Benishan (2009), Meri Ansuni Kahani (2009), Masuri (2005), Roag (2014), Main Abdul Qadir Hoon (2010), Qaid-e-Tanhai (2010), and Kis Din Mera Viyah Howay Ga (2011–2018), Rang Laaga (2015), Muqaddar (2020), and many others..
