What made you start your own production
house and move in this direction?
I wanted greater creative control and I wanted to
grow as a professional.
Udaari has become an ice breaker when it
comes to talking about taboo topics, but will
this trend survive?
Udaari has been a monumental play in many ways.
After the response received for Udaari, one thing we
know for sure is that Pakistani television is ready to
explore other taboo topics in the future and work
with daring integrity and responsibility.
You have won several awards for your role in
Udaari at LSA and Hum Awards, how do you
feel about that?
I am very proud of this achievement because I feel
I have played my part as an actor to raise awareness
about a social issue, which is being appreciated by
the masses.
Additionally, I feel that any award that a serial like
Udaari receives is a result of great teamwork, and
thus it should be considered an award for the entire
team rather than just an individual, as they are all
a part of making this sort of a change in people’s
mindset within our society.
