In an appearance on Ahmad Ali Butt’s YouTube channel, the actor was asked if his presence in Bollywood was ever taken as 'threat'. Fawad mentioned that he would often get into arguments with his PR representative about his 'visibility. He said, "You’ve made a lot of friends in India, but it came to the point where you were being compared to the big names. Did it p**s off a lot of the big dogs? Ali Zafar, Mahira Khan, and you were being offered lead roles in one of the biggest industries in the world. Do you think it happened too soon for you in order to become a threat?” the host asked.

Fawad Khan talked about posing a threat to the big actors in Bollywood, and said, “How do I know, man?” He continued, “That’s such a heavy question. I got a lot of love from India, but look, every industry has its politics. In Pakistan as well. But it’s easier to combat in your own industry. I’m not saying it’s unheard of; I’m sure it happens everywhere. There was one thing: I had PRs, and they used to get angry at this. I was like, ‘I need you to take out my name, not put it in there’. I would ask my PR to remove me from places, not put me. My manager would say, ‘You don’t know how the world works’.”

Fawad Khan talked about how his PR representative would push him to be more active on social media. but the actor refused and said, "Woh kehte hain jo dikhta hai woh bikta hai, mujhe lagta hai jo kam dikhta hai woh zyada bikta hai (They say all publicity is good publicity, but I feel no publicity is the best publicity).” Fawad Khan was of the opinion that being constantly seen by the public ‘dilutes the power of a movie star’.
