Dubai’s Global Village witnessed a cultural high on Saturday night as Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan, Bollywood actor Vaani Kapoor, and singer-composer Amit Trivedi lit up the main stage, drawing in thousands of fans from across the region.

The loudest cheers were, unsurprisingly, for Fawad Khan — whose very presence ignited a wave of euphoria. Chants of “Fawad! Fawad!” rang through the open-air venue, as children sat on their parents’ shoulders and lifelong drama fans waved signs and phones, eager to capture a glimpse of the elusive star.

Khan is in town to promote his new film film, Abir Gulaal, a romantic drama in which he stars opposite Vaani Kapoor. For many, this was more than just a promotional stop — it was a full-blown fan service event. The two even waltzed together on stage and onto their fans' hearts.

Vaani Kapoor, too, was greeted with loud cheers as she joined Fawad on stage. Elegant and engaging, she played off the crowd’s energy with ease.

Amit Trivedi added his signature musical flair to the night, rounding off the event with rhythm and soul.

This gathering wasn’t just a star-studded moment — it felt like a cultural celebration. One that united fans of South Asian cinema, music, and storytelling across borders. And as the stars waved goodbye, the feeling that lingered was clear: Fawad Khan is back. And this time, it’s bigger than ever.
