Fakhar-e-Alam (Punjabi, Urdu: فخر عالم) is a Pakistani actor, singer, songwriter, TV host, video jockey, rapper and producer[1] famous for introducing the bhangra-rap fusion genre of music in Pakistan. He is considered a pioneer of bhangra-rap music of Lahore in the 1990s. He currently hosts TV shows, sports broadcasts, and high-profile national and international productions. He also served as the chairman of the Sindh Board of Film Censors from 2013 to 2016.[2]

In 2018, he became the first and, to date, the only Pakistani in world history to circumnavigate the globe in a solo flight, in what he called Mission Parwaaz. He was aiming for a 28-day schedule and was planning on flying to 30 airports around the world.[3]
