Lahore-based photographer Areesh Zubair, who initiated an interesting project titled Duur se Portrait during the lockdown, wrapped up season one of the series with family portraits of Fawad, his wife Sadaf, their two children and their dog.

Pictures from the shoot have gone viral on social media, with fans sending love to the actor and his family.

In the caption, Zubair shared that he took these photographs on June 14, 2020. Last month, the family also welcomed a new addition after the couple was blessed with a baby girl.

The photographer, while explaining the series, said: “Making full use of this time of lockdown, I began to innovate with documenting the pandemic and came up with the #DuurSePortrait Series, where I visited homes, asked people to pose on their balconies and took their portraits whilst maintaining a lot of safe, #DuurSe distance – which was one of the key precautions for this virus.”

“However, as miraculously as it was, the lockdown was lifted in the country, after which I had to pause this series as life went back to normal. With the virus entering its second phase now, almost a year later, I really don’t know if I’ll be able to restart the series or not,” he continued.

“One thing is for sure, though – with this very special picture take of the Fawad A Khan clan, I officially announce the end of #DuurSePortrait Season.”

#DuurSePortrait of @fawadkhan81 & @sfkbridals . Finally I am posting these photographs taken on 14 June 2020 (During Lockdown) . Next month, its going to be a year to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic – a crisis that engulfed the world completely as it went into a state of lockdown – including Pakistan. However, it was indeed a blend of danger that brought with it loads of opportunity, as every crisis. Making full use of this time of lockdown, I began to innovate with documenting the pandemic and came up with the #DuurSePortrait Series, where I visited homes, asked people to pose on their balconies and took their portraits whilst maintaining a lot of safe, #DuurSe distance – which was one of the key precautions for this virus. However, as miraculously as it was, the lockdown was lifted in the country, after which I had to pause this series as life went back to normal. With the virus entering its second phase now, almost a year later, I really don’t know if I’ll be able to restart the series or not. One thing is for sure, though – with this very special picture take of the Fawad A. Khan clan, I officially announce the end of #DuurSePortrait Season 1 – yes, it’s ending for now! I pray for the smiles on each of our faces and the hope in our hearts to persist through the toughest times we have seen. May Allah create ease for all of us! Ameen. . #FawadKhan #SadafFawadKhan #AreeshZubair #TheBalconySeries #DuurSePortrait #Lockdown #socialdistancing
