Q. You were
brought up in USA how you learned such fine Urdu?
A. my parents moved back
to Pakistan when I was little, my schooling and college all were in Pakistan so
I had no problem in learning Urdu.
Q. why you
chose showbiz as career?
A. I wanted to work but I
did not want to be employed in an organization. My parents allowed me to work
whatever I would like, therefore, I joined showbiz as its glitter mesmerised me
a lot. I started my career as a model.
Q. How you
started acting then?
A. An actress friend took
me to a drama shooting and introduced me there. The producer offered me to act
in a drama and called me for the audition the following day. That audition went
well and that’s how my acting career started.
Q. What it
takes to get a role in a TV Drama?
A. A good looking face as
well as a face that can carry expressions. Dialogue delivery skill is an
important factor. I have learnt all that with the time.
Q. how did you
decide to get married in such early stage of your showbiz career?
A. I thought that I should
get done with all the important things as soon as I can. My husband liked my
acting, I met her first in a party later on we started liking each other and
got engaged. After a few days we got married so that’s how it happened.
Q. Why the
marriage failed then?
A. We misunderstood that
we are on the same frequency however it was nothing like that. Therefore, we
decided to part our ways. I have no regret over the failure of the married
life, perhaps, it is better for both of us this way.
Q. does the
divorce has anything to do with your showbiz career?
A. No I don’t think so at
least I could not find any clue that can say so. Reading a men’s mind is a
difficult task. Perhaps we had some personal issues and they were not going to
be resolved.
Q. When are
you planning to join films?
A. When we will start
producing films her in Pakistan then I will definitely do films.
Q. What do you
do in your leisure time?
A. I sleep as much as I
can or my friends come to meet me I spent time in chatting with them.
Q. what’s your
opinion about Bollywood?
A. It is a big cinema that has space for experiments, they
have massive sponsors and actors are superb, when an artist is paid well his
work automatically improves.
Q. Which actor do you like the most?
A. Salman Khan, his acting works like a magic. He knows how
to make a film successful. It’s my wish to at least meet him once in my life.
Q. Which Pakistani actor do you like the most?
A. All of our actors are remarkable in fact their work is
liked in India as well.
Q. Where is Pakistani showbiz standing internationally?
A. Our fashion industry is going through a boom that it has
never seen before. Drama is doing well but film is on the decline and there is
not much being done to revive it.
Q. Which country or city do you like the most?
A. I was born in USA, spent some time in Canada too, and
every city of Pakistan has its own flavour.
Q. Which food do you like the most?
A. I am not a foodie at all, in fact in the functions I stay
away from heavy food items.
Q. What type of music do you listen to?
A. One cannot get enough of old songs and ghazals, as long
as contemporary music goes I listen to almost all the genre and enjoy them.
Q. Any future plan?
A. Right now drama acting is on along with brand
ambassadorship, there is a lot to do in the showbiz so what I feel I can do I
go for it.
Q. Has the ongoing situation of the country effected
connection of showbiz and viewers?
A. It has indeed, and now with this load shedding who would
watch incomplete drama. The price hike has made common man depressed,
therefore, film and drama is not in their priorities.
Q. How short is the showbiz life?
A. When an artist is exhausted that is the end of his
career. But I would like to live here for long. And my work can keep me going,
as no artist can impose him or herself by force it’s the work that counts.
