SANAM SAEED
Who brought you to ‘ Dobara Phir Se ?’
Mehreen gave me a call and asked me to read for a couple of the characters . We have worked on several projects together in the past .
What part of your character and the story really drew you in ?
Samar is very unlike the other characters I have played . She ’ s the life of the party , free spirited , goofy , fun loving and full of positive energy . I enjoyed the fact that I could play around with her looks and styles !
How was it working with such an impressive lineup of talent on this ensemble project ?
It was perfect . It is super fun and inspiring to work with a strong team . Everyone compliments each other and challenges one another to do better . There is lots of room for improvising and personalizing our characters . And of course you always learn something new , especially when working with exceptionally talented actors .
Did you meet some of your cast mates the first time on this project ?
Nope , we have all worked together at some point or known each other from before . Adeel and I have done a couple of projects together , Hareem and I had just done Diyar-e-Dil , Ali Kazmi I knew from before as well and Shazi Khan and I discovered we were in junior school together in Bay View Academy !
