Pakistani actor Syed Jibran has made a shocking revelation about a life-threatening incident that happened during the shooting of a drama. In a recent TV interview, he shared that while filming a hanging scene at Adiala Jail, he narrowly escaped actual death.

Jibran recalled that while his face was covered with a black cloth, the lever was pulled once but failed to work. The director decided to reshoot and asked him to step down. Just seconds after Jibran was removed, the platform suddenly gave way when the lever was pulled again.

“If I had stayed on the platform for even 5 or 6 seconds more, I could have lost my life,” said Jibran. The terrifying experience left both him and the director in shock, and he was immediately advised to give charity as a token of gratitude for surviving.

Sharing more about his career, Jibran revealed that he entered the entertainment industry due to a friendly bet. While studying MBBS in his third year, a friend pointed to a billboard of model Zara Sheikh and challenged him with a bet of 100 rupees that he could never appear on TV. To win the bet, Jibran auditioned, got selected, and eventually became an actor.

The story of this near-death experience highlights the hidden dangers actors sometimes face on set while performing risky stunts. Jibran’s courage and survival have added another chapter to his inspiring journey in Pakistan’s showbiz industry.
