Danyal Zafar takes break to focus on health after overworking

Pakistani actor and singer Danyal Zafar has announced a break from work to focus on his health, saying a hectic schedule over the past two years has taken a toll on him.

In an Instagram story on Sunday, Zafar said he had overworked himself and reached a “breaking point”, adding that he needed time to rest and recover.

He said he had been travelling consistently over the past two years for shoots, live performances, album recordings and other commitments, leaving him with little time to stay in one place.

“Between shoots, shows, album recordings and everything in between, I’ve barely remained in one place for more than a few days,” he wrote.

Zafar described managing acting and singing careers simultaneously as a “tumultuous feat” and said he had been instructed to prioritise his health.

“Everything must go on hold,” he said, adding that he would take a break to “rest, recover and find my way back to full health”.

Despite announcing the break, Zafar had recently said his next studio album, STORMS & serenity, would be released on Saturday.
