Momal Sheikh Declares Her Family as the “Sheikhs of Lollywood”
Actor Momal Sheikh, daughter of legendary actor Javed Sheikh, made an interesting revelation in a recent interview. While speaking with actor Ushna Shah, Momal agreed with the notion that her family holds a similar position in Pakistan’s entertainment industry as the Kapoor family does in Bollywood.
“Yes, if you include Behroze and Saleem uncles’ families, we are the Kapoors of Pakistan,” Momal stated, highlighting the strong family ties within the Sheikh clan. She went on to explain her family’s lineage, mentioning that her father, Javed Sheikh, is a well-respected figure in Lollywood, along with her uncle, Saleem Sheikh. Meanwhile, Behroze Sabzwari, another veteran actor, is married to Javed Sheikh’s sister Safeena, further connecting the family to the industry.
Momal’s brother, Shahzad Sheikh, and cousin, Shahroz Sabzwari, are also successful actors, cementing the family’s multigenerational presence in the film industry. This rich history of acting talent has led Momal to believe that their family’s contribution to Pakistani cinema mirrors the legacy of Bollywood’s Kapoors.
This declaration from the ‘Damsa’ actor has sparked discussions on the significance of family legacies in both Lollywood and Bollywood, with many fans agreeing that the Sheikh family has undoubtedly earned their place in Pakistan’s cinematic history.
