HAREEM FAROOQ
Who brought you to ‘Dobara
Phir Se?’
The credit goes solely to
Mehreen as she was the one who
approached me. She believed in
me despite the fact that we barely
knew each other, had never
worked together and above all it
had just been a few months since
I started acting for camera.
What part of your character and
the story really drew you in?
I loved the fact that my
character in the film Zainab was
a woman of strength and not
your typical heroine who just has
to look pretty and cry. Also, it was
not another ‘girl meets boy, falls
in love’ story.
How was it working with such an
impressive lineup of talent on
this ensemble project?
It was an amazing learning
experience. I got to work with
some of the best local and
international talent.
Did you meet some of your cast
mates the first time on this
project?
I met all of them for the first
t i m e a c t u a l l y, i n c l u d i n g
Mehreen. The only exception
was Sanam, who I had already
worked with in Diyar-e-Dil.
