FunTranscript
00:08My name is Hasan Chaudhary and this is Buz Buz کی ایک اور دھواں دار دھماگے دار
00:15episode کے ساتھ آپ کی خدمت میں حاضر ہیں کفیل میں بہت کچھ ہو رہے
00:19اور جو کچھ ہو رہے وہ دل کو چھو رہے میں آشر وجاہت کی بہت زیادہ
00:23یہاں پہ تعریف کرنا چاہوں گا that boy has nailed his character subuk
00:28اس ہفتے کی جو دو episodes آئیں I'm sure آپ نے بھی اس میں آشر کے کام
00:32کو بہت appreciate کیا ہوگا بہت ہی خوبصورت وہ ایک conversation ہوتی ہے
00:37پوری جو دنین کے والد کے ساتھ subuk کرتا ہے اور اپنا point of view
00:41شیئر کرتا ہے کہ یہ دیکھیں یہ میرا ایک چھوٹا سا apartment ہے اور
00:45یہاں پہ پانی بھی properly نہیں آتا گیس نہیں آتی اور ایک دو کمرے
00:49ہیں ایک چھوٹا سا bathroom ہے جو کہ آپ کے servant quarter کے bathroom سے
00:53بھی چھوٹا ہوگا تو میں کیسے آپ کی بیٹی کو اس گھر میں لے ہوں گا اور
00:56جب اس نے یہ ساری باتیں کی تو دیکھنے والوں کے دلوں میں بہت
01:00سارا پیار ابرا سبuk کے لیے اور ساتھ ساتھ آشر کے لیے I think
01:04he's done a fantastic fabulous job and of course جس طرح سے سنم سعید
01:09زیبا کا کردار لے کے چل رہی ہے I think سنم نے بہت اس سے پہلے بھی
01:13بہت زبردست کردار نبھائے ہیں لیکن کفیل میں جس طرح سے زیبا
01:17کو انہوں نے depict کیا یہ آنے والے وقتوں میں ایک یادگار
01:21performance ان کی رہے گی انتظار اب اس بات کا ہے کہ جامی ون اور
01:26زیبا کے بیچ میں یہ جو ایک رشتہ بن سکتا ہے یہ بنے گا یا نہیں
01:31بنے گا مجھے بڑی خوشی ہوئی جب میں نے وہ سین دیکھا کہ جمال
01:35ایکچولی زیبا کی والدہ اور ان کے بھائی کے پاس چلا جاتا ہے اور
01:38ان کو convince کرنے کی کوشش کرتا ہے very progressive writing I know کہ
01:43کچھ لوگ اس کے اوپر کچھ سوالات بھی اٹھا رہے ہیں جیسے کہ دنین کے
01:47والد کی جب ہم نے پوری backstory سنی اور لوگوں کو لگا کہ
01:51یار یہ تو بڑا سمپل سا ہے اور بڑا simplistic قسم کا ایک
01:54point of view ہے کہ ٹھیک ہے باپ کیونکہ اس طرح کے دور سے
01:57گزرا ہے تو اس لیے وہ صبح کے ساتھ relate کر رہا ہے اور
02:00اصل میں اس طرح کی جو شادی ہوتی وہ چل نہیں پاتی
02:02actually you know I disagree with that thought because مجھے بھی
02:05ایسا ہی لگتا ہے کہ شادی آپ کی زندگی میں بہت ساری
02:08تبدیلیاں لے کے آتی ہے اور یہ تو اللہ نے بھی بولا ہے کہ
02:11آپ کا جب نصیب جڑتا ہے ایک اور شخص کے ساتھ تو آپ کا
02:16رزق تو رازق تو اللہ ہی ہے تو اس میں کوئی میرے خیال میں
02:19ڈاؤٹ کرنے والی بات نہیں ہے اگر نیت اچھی ہو اور جس طرح
02:23کا کردار سبک کا دکھایا گیا ہے ایک بہت اچھے دل کا
02:26بچہ ہے مہنتی بچہ ہے اور overall he's just a very very nice
02:30chap so اس case میں اگر وہ دانین کے ساتھ شادی کر لیتا ہے اور
02:34دانین کے والدین یہ چاہتے ہیں کہ وہ بہت امیر ہوتے
02:37وے بھی ایک اس طرح کی فیملی میں اپنی بیٹی کو بھیا دیں تو
02:41اچھے کاموں کا انجام اچھا ہی ہوتا ہے میرے خیال میں اس
02:45بات پر ہم سب کو ایک قوی یقین ہونا چاہیے خواتین و
02:48ذرات اس پورے ہفتے میں جو میرا سب سے فیورٹ ڈراما ہے وہ
02:54سارے ٹی وی چینلز پہ سارے ڈراموں پہ بھاری وہ ایک ڈراما
02:58ہے ڈاکٹر بہو i am absolutely in love with the chemistry جو شجا
03:03اور کبرا نے create کر دی ہے ڈاکٹر بہو میں بلکہ میں تو اس
03:07extent پہ چلا گئوں اب مجھے ایسا لگتا ہے کہ کبرا
03:10and شجا are perhaps one of the best on screen couples that we have
03:15seen on the پاکستان television screen اتنی زبردست chemistry
03:20ہے دونوں کے بیچ میں مہرین جبار سنم مہدی کو full marks for the
03:24writing and direction or for the direction مہرین کی direction ہے سنم کی
03:28writing ہے دونوں نے باکمال طریقے کے ساتھ یہ کہانی بنی ہے اور جس
03:32طرح سے یہ تکھیں ایک چیز ہوتی ہے کہانی ایک چیز ہوتی ہے
03:36storytelling the art of telling a story i think جو art ہم دیکھ رہے ہیں
03:41اس میں ڈاکٹر بہو میں جس طرح سے مہرین نے ان سارے کرداروں کو
03:46پریزنٹ کیا ہے جو cinematography ہے جو music ہے i mean that song of
03:51میں تو constantly hum کر رہا ہوتا ہوں اپنے اپنی گاڑی میں چلتے پھرتے
03:56beautiful song so اور کہانی بھی بہت powerful ہے دمدار ہے ہر
04:00episode میں ہر ہفتے ہم دیکھتے ہیں کہ کس طرح سے سانیا اور
04:05سلمان کا رشتہ آگے بڑھا ہے دوستوں کی طرح دوستی سے جس طرح سے وہ
04:09محبت یا پیار کی طرف جا رہا ہے وہ direction بھی ہمیں نظر آ رہی
04:13similarly ساتھ ساتھ سانیا جن challenges سے گزر رہی ہے of course
04:17اس گھرانے کو ایک ڈاکٹر بہو چاہیے تھی وہ تو ان کو مل گئی
04:20لیکن کیا وہ کافی ہے is that enough and i think اس سوال کو جس
04:25طرح سے ڈراما اڈریس کر رہا ہے کہانی اڈریس کر رہی ہے وہ ایک
04:28بہت important جو society میں ایک ہم اکثر یہ دیکھتے بھی ہیں
04:32phenomenon اس کی بھی بہت خوبصورت طریقے کے ساتھ اکاسی کرتا ہے
04:35i can't wait for the next week's episode اور اس سے بہلے کہ میں آپ کی
04:39ملاقات ہماری آج کی گیس سے کراؤں جن کا بہت گہرا تعلق ہے ڈاکٹر
04:43بہو کے ساتھ میں ایک شاڈو دینا چاہتا ہوں فرحان سعید کو ان کا
04:46ایک بہت زبردست ٹیزر ہم نے اس ہفتے دیکھا ان کے آنے والے
04:50ڈرامے کا جس کا نام ہے بس تیرا ساتھ ہو جس کو قاسم علی مرید نے
04:53ڈریکٹ کیا ہے سائرہ رضا مرحومہ کا وہ سکرپٹ ہے بس میں اتنا کھاتوں
05:00ڈال دیتی ہے آپ سمجھائے آپ بھی ان کے ساتھ مل جاتے ہیں آپ لوگ
05:06مجھے اپنا کام کیوں نہیں کر رہے دیتے بڑا ہو گیا ہوں میں اب
05:10میں آپ سے کیا کہہ رہا ہوں آپ تو خود ان کے ساتھ مل جاتے ہیں
05:16ہر کام میں ہاتھ پگڑ کے ہاتھ پگڑ کے کبھی سوچے اگر آپ لوگ نہیں
05:21ہوں گے تو کیا کروں گا؟ اتنا آسان نہیں ہے اس دنیاں میں
05:24رہنا نہیں ہوں گے تو کیا کروں گا؟ اپنے کام خود
05:35کر لیتا ہوں گا کرلوں گا بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
06:09اور ناسیز یہ ڈرامے کا ٹیزر لگتا ہے کہ
06:11this week belong to فران بکوز اسی ہفتے آپ نے دیکھا
06:14love the song کا ٹیزر بڑی عید پہ فران کی فلم آرہی ہے
06:18with مامیہ شاہ جعفر پرویز ملک فلم سلمان اقبال فلمز
06:21اے آر وائے فلمز کے اشتراک سے بنی ہوئی اس فلم کا
06:23بہت بے سبری سے ہمیں انتظار ہے عمران ملک صاحب نے اس کو
06:27ڈریکٹ کیا ہے تو یہ ایک عید جو ہے بڑی عید یہ بھی بہت
06:31انٹرسٹنگ ہونے والی ہے کیونکہ کافی ساری فلمیں لائن اپ ہوئی
06:34ہیں اور کوشش کریں گے کہ بز پہ آپ کو ان آنے والے فلموں
06:38کے سٹارز کے ساتھ ملوائے
06:39کہتے ہیں محبت انسان کو بدل دیتی ہے اور میری محبت نے
06:44تو مجھے برباد ہی کر دیا یہ کہا نہیں پیار کی بھی
06:49اور جنگ کی بھی یہاں دل دھڑکتا بھی ہے اور سانس رکھتا بھی
06:56فیصلہ کر چکا تھا نہ رکوں گا نہ جھکوں گا
07:03جب محبت اور موت آمنے سامنے کھڑے ہو جائے نا تو فیصلہ صرف ایک ہی
07:08ہوتا ہے
07:16یا تو کہانی مکمل ہوتی ہے یا ختم
07:26خلال خواتین و حضرات وقت ہوا چاہتا ہے آپ کو آج کے ہمارے سٹار سے
07:30ملوانے کا بہت زبردست پرفارمر ہے جب میں ڈاکٹر بہو کی بات کر رہا
07:34تھا ذکر کر رہا تھا تو افکوس ڈاکٹر بہو میں ہر ادھاکار نے اپنی
07:38جان ڈالی اور بہت بہترین طریقے سے اپنے کام کو نبھایا ہے اسی طرح اسی
07:43ادھاکارہ نے بھی اپنے کردار میں بہت جان ڈالی اور اس کو بہت زبردست
07:46طریقے کے ساتھ آگے لے چلے ہیں اور بہت ایکسائیٹمنٹ ہے ڈاکٹر بہو کو لے کے ان کے
07:50ٹریک کو لے کے ان سارے موضوعات پر ان سے بات کریں گے
07:54لیڈیز ہیں جنلمن بس پہ آرہی ہیں

08:07ہم بھائی ہے، بگو بگو بھائی ہے، لیکن آپ کو پہلے بھی
08:11ہے، بگو بگو بھائی ہے، خیلی ہوں، فردین جو؟
08:12بگو بگو، بگو بگو، رہا رابط به کار کیا ہے،
08:18بگو بگو بگو بگو، انترکتا وقت موازنیٰ،
08:25Really?
08:26And now we are meeting in April, 2026.
08:29Full circle.
08:30Full circle.
08:30Almost.
08:31Now tell me that when you look back in the past three years,
08:35how was it just this journey?
08:40I believe I am the sort of person whose involvement is stagnant
08:47or when it happens, I evolve very quickly.
08:51So, it has been a little stagnancy personally.
08:55But then, I mean obviously life happens and then everything becomes super fast
09:02that it almost becomes overwhelming.
09:04So, yeah, it's been good.
09:07That's something I would say.
09:09It's been good.
09:10I wanted to tell you that in the past three years,
09:14I haven't seen you as much as I would have liked to see you.
09:19Right.
09:20What's the reason for this?
09:21Because I was shooting.
09:22And that's what I always do,
09:25that I am working on those things,
09:27they don't have to be honored.
09:29And when they don't have to be honored,
09:31back to back.
09:32Exactly.
09:33So, the three projects that I was working on actively,
09:36are now together.
09:37So, tell me that your perspective
09:41is our industry,
09:42or the content we are creating.
09:44Yes.
09:44This has been changed in the past few years.
09:46Because the passion I saw before.
09:49Yes.
09:49It's a little marginal.
09:51The passion has not been changed.
09:53I think it's been changed.
09:55You know,
09:56that's the thing that
09:57you don't need to be in survival mode.
10:00You don't need to be in survival mode.
10:03Sit back, relax,
10:04and look at everything as an audience as well.
10:07Be an audience for your own life.
10:09You know, professionally and personally.
10:11Look what's happening,
10:12what's happening.
10:15Don't be in a rush.
10:16What's the reason for this?
10:18Because I have become a long race, Hasan.
10:20I don't want to come for years
10:23and that thing will end up.
10:25And I want to leave a mark.
10:26And I want to be remembered.
10:28You know,
10:29So, that's not possible
10:30that there are impulsive choices.
10:32And in this,
10:34a very big role,
10:35is your manager.
10:37So,
10:38and to be led by a strong woman
10:39makes a huge difference.
10:42So,
10:43you know,
10:44who you are watching,
10:45I don't see.
10:45I don't see.
10:48So,
10:48I feel like at this point,
10:50I'm very aligned.
10:51Both of us are aligned.
10:52We know what we want to do.
10:54We know how we want to represent ourselves.
10:56How I want to put myself out there.
10:59So,
10:59yeah.
11:00In this industry,
11:01you used the phrase
11:03as a long race.
11:04Yes.
11:05What do you think
11:06that
11:06in this industry,
11:08what do you have to do
11:08in this industry?
11:10What do you have to do?
11:12I don't have to do much.
11:14To be honest with you.
11:15Okay.
11:16No, no, no.
11:17It's not rocket science.
11:18It's actually very simple.
11:19It's not complicated.
11:21It's not complicated.
11:22You have to open your mind.
11:24Basically,
11:25you have to disconnect
11:26from every single perspective
11:28that you are following.
11:30your voice.
11:31You have to close your eyes.
11:34You have to listen to your voice.
11:35And you have to listen to your voice.
11:36Like blinders.
11:36Like blinders.
11:38If you have a tunnel vision,
11:39you should be very clear on what you want to do.
11:42Follow your feeling as well.
11:44Because,
11:46personally,
11:47when I look at my life,
11:49I don't follow the feeling a lot.
11:51I am very practical.
11:52But because acting is
11:53everything for me.
11:55So,
11:55I go with my feeling.
11:58So,
11:59I just,
12:00at the end of the day,
12:01I want to be honest to myself.
12:03You know.
12:04So,
12:04that's the scene.
12:04What are your eyes at?
12:06But,
12:07in the moment also.
12:09Yes.
12:09What is the goal?
12:10See,
12:11I will not say the goal.
12:13But,
12:14I know one thing for sure,
12:15Hassan.
12:16One thing I am confident about.
12:17And one thing,
12:18I have a whole faith on it.
12:21That,
12:22I will be seen.
12:23You cannot ignore me.
12:25Mashallah,
12:25you are seen.
12:26This has achieved.
12:27Exactly.
12:28This has achieved.
12:29And,
12:29you know,
12:30a lot of times,
12:32when you are a young character actor,
12:34I am not just a character actor.
12:36I have also done mainly this as well.
12:39I don't want to confine myself.
12:41Okay.
12:42But,
12:42in our industry,
12:43there are a lot of things that,
12:46people are very old,
12:48there are a hierarchy in their brain.
12:50That,
12:50they shoot them like this.
12:53They shoot them like this.
12:53They don't have to overshadow them.
12:55So, they shoot them like this.
12:56Who is it in your brain?
12:57It is in your brain.
12:58It is in your brain.
12:59It is in your brain.
12:59It is in your brain.
13:00It is in your brain.
13:01It is in your brain.
13:01In your brain.
13:02It is in your brain,
13:02you know in your brain.
13:02an actor, producer,
13:03and all your brain.
13:04It is in your brain.
13:06It is in your brain.
13:08But it is such a thing that people who are very old and are embedded.
13:13You mean that people who have a relationship with each other?
13:16No, no, no. I think it's more like a mental thing.
13:20It's more like a mental thing that they are used to a system.
13:23Okay.
13:24You get that when they are used to a specific system.
13:26But what is their common factor? Do they know each other?
13:29No, no, no. It's because they are focused on one product and not the whole thing.
13:35That their focus is only one. You know, they will cast.
13:38In a lead cast or whatever.
13:40Whatever.
13:40Whatever.
13:41So, you should have, I will say every actor.
13:45You should have enough confidence in yourself, in your ability, in your talent.
13:50That you will not be missed.
13:52You know.
13:54You said this very good.
13:56But unfortunately, there are such actors that they don't have talent and skill.
14:09That's because, no.
14:12They are seen even though they don't have a lot of talent.
14:15They are seen in a bad way.
14:17They would say they are not doing their job.
14:20They are not doing their job, but why are they doing their job?
14:21Yes.
14:21But then, I guess, see I will tell you.
14:24We are living in an industry.
14:28We are working in an industry where everything has become a business.
14:32It's all about numbers now.
14:33Okay.
14:34So, for me as an individual, as an artist.
14:37I have a lot of Instagram life.
14:39I have a lot of attention.
14:41But many people have hacked this.
14:43You know, if their numbers on social media are good in a way.
14:47They will get casted.
14:49Okay.
14:50That will not be the issue for them.
14:51So, those people who are going through the business perspective.
14:54They are winning at this point.
14:57They are winning at this point.
14:58Because I am not a business person.
15:00I really just follow my heart.
15:02You are an artist in the truth.
15:03I mean, I am an artist or call it whatever.
15:07But, yeah, I think that's what they are doing.
15:10Because those people who know their weaknesses,
15:12who know their strengths and weaknesses,
15:16they are playing with them.
15:18So, yeah.
15:18But I do believe at the end of the day,
15:20if you are true to your art,
15:22then you cannot stop anyone.
15:24You seem like a person who is very self-aware.
15:28And I suppose also it appears so that self-critical.
15:32Yes.
15:32I am very self-aware.
15:32You are very self-aware.
15:34You are very self-aware.
15:36I am very self-aware.
15:36I am not seeing it.
15:37You are not seeing it.
15:39We are shooting too,
15:40so I don't see the screen.
15:41I am not seeing it.
15:43I am seeing it.
15:43I did it.
15:44I did it.
15:44I did it.
15:47Do you not watch your dramas?
15:49Very little.
15:50Very little.
15:51Although you should see it,
15:53because you can see it better.
15:55But I always,
15:56especially if I am working with a director,
15:58who is good at the artistic side,
16:01who can tell me,
16:02where do you want to open?
16:04What do you want to do?
16:05Then I ask them.
16:07But otherwise.
16:08So if you will see self-analysis,
16:10then how will it be?
16:12Exactly.
16:13Exactly.
16:13That is a battle.
16:14That is a battle.
16:15You are absolutely right.
16:16But I don't know.
16:17They are also doing it.
16:19They are doing it.
16:19They are doing it.
16:20When you shoot,
16:21you get self-analysis.
16:22Yes.
16:22And with feedback.
16:24Yes.
16:24And the thing is,
16:25on Dr. Bahu specifically,
16:27you know,
16:28we were a great bunch.
16:30Everyone was great to work with.
16:32That is right.
16:33If there was something else,
16:34then the other people had so much space,
16:36to tell me,
16:37if I have to do something on the bottom,
16:38then they would tell me.
16:39So we would have played something.
16:43But speaking of Dr. Bahu.
16:45Yeah.
16:46This is my favourite drum today.
16:49I am so glad.
16:50It is very wonderful.
16:51I would like to go to Dr. Bahu.
16:54But I would like to go to Dr. Bahu.
16:57Absolutely fantastic project.
16:59Right from the direction,
17:02to cinematography,
17:03and of course,
17:04all you guys,
17:05all the actors,
17:05you guys have done such a fantastic job.
17:07Thank you, Hasan.
17:08I am waiting for that,
17:09I will see these two questions.
17:11When will I see the next two questions?
17:13Yes.
17:15Yes, thank you.
17:16Yes.
17:16First,
17:16let me tell you,
17:18when you have an IR project,
17:20of course,
17:20Mehreen Jabbar was directing it,
17:24and Sanam has written it.
17:25Sanam is also one of those writers.
17:27Oh, Sanam is great.
17:28Sanam is a really good writer.
17:29They take their work seriously.
17:30You say,
17:30if Sanam has written it,
17:31it will be written it.
17:32It will not be arbitrary.
17:34At the very least.
17:35So, when you have a IR script,
17:36which was a filter?
17:37Yes.
17:38What was the first reaction?
17:39I said no.
17:40Eh?
17:41Yes.
17:42Were you offered the same Minna character?
17:43Yes.
17:44Yes.
17:44I said no.
17:45And I said no twice.
17:48Give this news.
17:49And...
17:50Today, Yameen has rejected Dr. Bahoo's work.
17:53I said no to it.
17:55Because I thought,
17:56this will be like Sumbul.
17:58And I don't want to play another Sumbul.
18:01People are drawing parallels already.
18:03Exactly.
18:04Sumbul was the director of Noorjaan.
18:06Yes.
18:06So, I remember,
18:08I was in New York.
18:09I went on vacation.
18:10And I was...
18:12It was the time of the morning,
18:13so I knew that
18:13it was a lot of night in Pakistan.
18:16Nadeem, why are you calling me at that time?
18:18I had a feeling that what will happen.
18:20So, I got a call.
18:21Nadeem said,
18:22you will be stupid if you don't do it.
18:24And I love Nadeem Bhai.
18:26I absolutely, absolutely adore him.
18:28And Hasan,
18:29he's really had my back.
18:31You know,
18:31for a lot of things that I'm doing now,
18:34a lot of credit goes to Nadeem Bhai.
18:37So,
18:38they said,
18:38you will be stupid if you don't do it.
18:43I said,
18:44Nadeem Bhai, I love you.
18:45And I'm going to do this only for you.
18:47So, I said yes then.
18:49Then,
18:50I sat down with my stylist.
18:53Because my stylist does not just work on the clothes.
18:56She also works on the personality of the character with me.
18:59So,
19:00we took the script so many days
19:02to differentiate it.
19:05His body language,
19:06his clothes, everything.
19:08So,
19:08we revamped it so much so that
19:10there won't come similarities.
19:11So,
19:12I have a lot of episodes.
19:14Then,
19:15I realized that
19:16this is very different.
19:17I can do it.
19:21And I can do it.
19:25I can do it.
19:26I can do it.
19:26I can do it.
19:27After a very short break.
19:34Welcome back.
19:35I'm here with you.
19:37Very talented.
19:38Very beautiful.
19:39Hájra Yameen.
19:40Yes, Hájra.
19:41I'm here with you.
19:42I'm here with you.
19:44I'm here with you.
19:45No,
19:45Hájra.
19:46I'm here with you.
19:48I'm here with you.
19:49I'm here with you.
19:50I'm here with you.
19:50When the common man and women,
19:52they reach out to me.
19:53And when they say that,
19:54they feel connected to my story.
19:57You know,
19:57that is a win for me.
19:59Dr. Bhu,
20:00this is an interesting thing.
20:01There are so many artists.
20:05Every artist is on their own journey.
20:07But at the end of the day,
20:09at least,
20:10as a facade,
20:12they're like a unit.
20:13Yes.
20:15Which is very interesting.
20:16Like Saniya's mother,
20:18when you see her,
20:19she's a perfect family.
20:21Exactly.
20:22I think you've reached the audience with the beauty.
20:25with the audience.
20:27So,
20:27was there a struggle on set?
20:29Because, you know,
20:30you've got so many actors.
20:31For all of us?
20:32We've got a lot of work on set.
20:34Okay.
20:35The cast was incredible to work with.
20:37Do you know what is my favourite thing
20:39in the whole drama?
20:40In the whole storytelling?
20:42It's the female gaze on men.
20:47Like, it's like men written
20:49and directed by women.
20:51You know,
20:52So, if you look at a standard
20:55person's character
20:57and look at Shujah
20:58and Adil's character
21:00then,
21:01look at,
21:02I mean, they have their own shades of grey.
21:04Okay.
21:05But somehow,
21:07they're so humanized.
21:08You know,
21:09I mean, what Adil is doing
21:10is,
21:11you know,
21:12that's a big and wrong thing.
21:14But,
21:15he's so humanized,
21:17Mehreen.
21:18Shujah's character.
21:20He's so beautiful.
21:21And he's so beautiful.
21:23Very cute.
21:24I love Shujah and Kubra's chemistry.
21:26I'm absolutely in love with it.
21:28One of the best on-screen couples you've seen.
21:30Exactly.
21:31Exactly.
21:31I love it.
21:33So,
21:34I've seen Shujah on set
21:35and I've also seen the acting on the screen.
21:39So,
21:41I feel like
21:42a female gaze
21:43on a man,
21:45you know,
21:46it really does wonders.
21:47I feel like
21:48Adil and Shujah's characters
21:50are being directed by a woman.
21:53A strong female gaze.
21:54I'd like to add.
21:54A strong female gaze.
21:55You know.
21:56No, no.
21:58Exactly.
21:58Where is the female gaze?
21:59I feel like
22:01this is a magical thing to witness
22:03as a woman
22:04in this drama
22:05that
22:05how
22:08Mehreen has softened up
22:09male characters
22:10and humanized them.
22:11When you were making it,
22:12you were thinking
22:14that this is going to be a different thing
22:16or that it will resonate
22:18with people.
22:19Or you thought
22:20that this is a drama?
22:21You're shooting it.
22:22It's so important.
22:23It's so important.
22:24You don't have any ideas.
22:26But then
22:27There are actors who say
22:28that I have seen that scene
22:29and I just realized
22:30that this is going to happen.
22:32No, no.
22:32I'm very nervous.
22:34I don't think about outcome.
22:35I don't think about outcome.
22:36Because today
22:37it's so unpredictable
22:38everything.
22:39You know,
22:40what will happen?
22:41How will it go?
22:41How will it go?
22:42How will it go?
22:42How will it receive?
22:43Our drama's reach is so great.
22:45There is so much international audience now.
22:48That
22:48that's why Dr. Bahoo
22:50is now celebrating.
22:53My perspective is that
22:55I think reach was always there.
22:56Yeah.
22:57And
22:57I feel like
22:59because I understand myself
23:00so
23:01it's very important
23:02story telling.
23:04It's very important.
23:05It's very important.
23:05The lens of Mehreen.
23:06The camera photography.
23:07I mean, there are certain
23:08like, you know,
23:09shots.
23:10Yeah.
23:11The beauty of the shot
23:12just takes your baggage.
23:13It does.
23:14You know, the first episode
23:15or the second episode
23:15was the one take.
23:17Yeah.
23:18And that's all Tayyab.
23:20Tayyab,
23:20our D.O.P.
23:21he's incredible.
23:23He's very hard.
23:24He's very hard.
23:25It's like,
23:25he makes a painting.
23:27He's thinking
23:27that this character's lighting.
23:30This character's lighting.
23:32He's very, very, very good
23:33with his home.
23:34He's also hard.
23:35Exactly.
23:36Exactly.
23:36What can you tell us about Minah?
23:39Obviously, without giving any spoilers.
23:41Yeah.
23:41Because there is a flare in Minah.
23:43Of course.
23:43Minah is not the same
23:44that if she has put her skin
23:46in the clinic,
23:47being a gynecologist,
23:49then she's a traitor.
23:49She constantly brings it up.
23:52Exactly.
23:52Exactly.
23:53And Miah's affair,
23:53she knows it.
23:54And she does it.
23:56At this point,
23:58what we have understood,
23:59just tell us that there is more
24:01to it.
24:02Obviously,
24:03because she can't conceive,
24:04this is the one.
24:06That's why she's a little back foot.
24:09Is that the only reason
24:10or is there more to it?
24:11No, there's way more, Hasan.
24:13There's way more to Minah
24:15than what has been,
24:17what's been unravelled right now.
24:19My husband's character,
24:21Faizan's character,
24:22he's the eldest son.
24:24And he's been controlled
24:26to a certain point
24:27that he's just individually.
24:29But since he was a child,
24:31it was decided
24:31that he had to do
24:32every single move
24:33that Faizan is going to do
24:35was decided
24:35by his father
24:36before.
24:37So, I feel like
24:39everyone's control
24:40is fighting.
24:42So, obviously,
24:42Minah's story will be
24:44very big.
24:44In the set,
24:45you had the best bonding
24:46with each other?
24:47With each other?
24:48With each other?
24:49I mean,
24:50Kubra and Shajah.
24:52Yes, Kubra and Shajah
24:53were the best.
24:54In the scene,
24:55you observed
24:55the chemistry
24:56so much.
24:57Tell me.
24:59Tell me.
24:59Tell me,
25:00the scenes
25:01that we are playing
25:02when we started shooting
25:03the drama
25:04and they both
25:05met each other
25:06the first time.
25:07So,
25:08these are the scenes.
25:09It won't be less
25:10chemistry.
25:10No, no, no.
25:12No, no, no.
25:14I think
25:15I think
25:16you will see
25:18the chemistry
25:19that you are seeing
25:20now.
25:21You know,
25:21I feel like
25:22this chemistry
25:22was very necessary
25:24because
25:24you will be really
25:26attached
25:26to their track
25:28to see all of that.
25:29So, off-camera
25:30did we have to eat
25:31all of that?
25:32We had to eat
25:32all of that.
25:33We had to study
25:34in free time
25:35and we had to play
25:37games,
25:38dance,
25:39we had to do
25:41anything.
25:42Even
25:42our senior actors
25:44we had to match
25:45no one of Adil's
25:46energy with us.
25:48Adil
25:48is unstoppable
25:50on set.
25:51He was contained
25:51in the scene
25:53but
25:54he is
25:55He and I go to the
25:56same gym.
25:57Have you seen him?
25:58He is constantly
26:00walking.
26:01He doesn't stop.
26:02Either he is
26:03working out
26:03or he is walking.
26:04Yes, yes.
26:05And I and Adil
26:06had to say
26:06that I am standing
26:07in Zen
26:08and Adil
26:09is doing anything.
26:10doing anything.
26:11And I had a habit
26:11that we had to
26:13sing so much
26:14towards the end
26:14of Dr. Bahu.
26:15That Adil
26:16is the chipmunk
26:17and I am just
26:19Zen.
26:19In my element.
26:21Meera was also
26:22a very difficult scene.
26:23Yes.
26:23Meera again,
26:25a very secure actor
26:26to work with.
26:27You know,
26:27all of these actors
26:28combined,
26:29they were so secure
26:31in whatever that
26:31they were doing.
26:33Like I said,
26:34even in Noor Jahai
26:35it was the same
26:35that
26:36give each other
26:37space.
26:38Keep your own ground.
26:40You know,
26:40it was a very
26:41nurturing
26:42sort of an environment.
26:44Now,
26:45Dr. Bahu
26:45to take the questions
26:46that you
26:47who are fans
26:48and audience
26:50do you want
26:51to give a small
26:52message?
26:54I would say
26:55that you
26:56put your seatbelt.
26:57Put your seatbelt?
26:58Put your seatbelts?
26:59Put your seatbelts
26:59because it is going
27:00to be a very bumpy ride.
27:02Why is it going to be
27:04bumpy ride?
27:04It will be a good ride.
27:06It will be a good ride.
27:06There is going to be
27:07so much happening.
27:08There is like
27:093-4 tracks going on
27:11and a lot is going
27:13to be happening.
27:14Career wise,
27:15are you at a place
27:16where you think
27:17that I am content.
27:19The role that I am getting,
27:20the work that I am doing,
27:21I am more than happy.
27:23Yeah,
27:23there is still that
27:24aspiration that
27:26that character
27:27that you want
27:28to do in your heart
27:30has not come
27:31yet.
27:31this contentment
27:33will not be
27:3310 years later.
27:35And I feel like
27:36this contentment
27:37is a really big
27:37red flag for any actor.
27:39That you are
27:40content at any point
27:42in your career.
27:43Because,
27:45because the urge
27:46and the passion
27:47to move forward
27:48and to do better
27:49and to break
27:50whatever mould
27:51you are in
27:52is so much.
27:54there is just
27:54so much
27:55that I don't think
27:57I can be content
27:58that now
27:59I am fine.
28:00I don't think
28:01that I have done anything.
28:03I still feel like
28:04there is so much more.
28:06There is so much more
28:07that I have to do yet.
28:09You don't see your work
28:10but how aware
28:11are you
28:11that in the industry
28:13the drama
28:13and the stories
28:14that are being told?
28:15Yes, yes, yes.
28:15As much as the social media
28:17I do not see
28:17in the social media
28:20but now
28:20you can tell
28:22why actors
28:23tell us
28:23why do you see
28:24your work?
28:25Because there is no time.
28:27At night
28:27at 11am
28:28I have to wake up
28:29at 6am
28:30and I have to go to the gym
28:31and go to the set.
28:34Even when
28:34there is free time
28:36it is also
28:37that
28:38I think
28:39when we finish a shoot
28:41after a few days
28:42then
28:43I am just sitting
28:43on the wall.
28:45Really?
28:46Yes.
28:47You are just sitting
28:47on the wall?
28:47I have painted
28:48all the walls of the house
28:49and not done
28:52because
28:52we are always surrounded
28:53by so many people
28:55that
28:55I would like to see
28:56empty walls
28:57when I get home.
28:59You know?
29:00Because
29:01we are all surrounded
29:02That is bizarre
29:02but also very interesting.
29:04Yes.
29:04We are always surrounded
29:05by so many people
29:06all the time.
29:07And you stare at the walls.
29:08Yeah.
29:09Do you talk to yourself?
29:11I do.
29:11Of course.
29:12No.
29:13I love talking to myself.
29:15I have more.
29:17internal monologues
29:18like
29:19many times
29:20I would find
29:21Kubra talking to herself
29:22and I would be talking
29:23to myself
29:24differently.
29:25So
29:25we have understood
29:26that we both
29:27do this.
29:29So now we are good.
29:31You know?
29:31You are doing it yourself.
29:33Do it yourself.
29:33Do it yourself.
29:34Do it yourself.
29:34Do it yourself.
29:34Do it yourself.
29:34Do it yourself.
29:34Do it yourself.
29:35Do it yourself.
29:38No.
29:39No.
29:40Do it.
29:44It's all about our destiny.
29:46In the"?
29:46No.
29:47Yes.
29:47It was a struggle to stay.
29:49That's a joke
29:50that we are playing physically.
29:53We are playing games.
29:54We are playing countries.
29:56At work.
29:57This is a very nice set.
30:02It was a very nice set and I think it was a very nice set and all of us, Shujah,
30:08Kubra, Adil, Shizad Nawaz, Sabha Appa,
30:11it was a very common thing to take everyone together. For Mehreen it was a huge set to manage and
30:22for all of us,
30:23and Shujah is our Abba. Yes, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
30:32It's Abba, it's a small Abba.
30:35Tell me about Mehreen's work because Mehreen has an extensive experience.
30:42Because he lives outside and works outside.
30:45So, most of the directors that you have worked with, how much of Mehreen's insight is different.
30:52Because when you see it, there's a difference.
30:55Yes, yes, I'll tell you. Mehreen, I don't know, Mehreen,
30:59the patients don't say anything in your actors' process.
31:04She will stick with the version you're bringing in your character. She will not intervene.
31:10She will not intervene. She will not intervene very little.
31:13And I think she will do the casting with that.
31:16And I have done a lot of work with Mehreen before.
31:18This is the first long stretch that we have done.
31:20Otherwise, I have done a lot of short films with her,
31:22some ads with her, you know, on domestic violence.
31:25I remember I had done with Mehreen with Mehreen.
31:27So, she is very smart when it comes to casting.
31:30She is very smart when it comes to casting.
31:31She brings people on set who know that she will do homework.
31:35And she will bring something that Mehreen has never thought.
31:38So, Mehreen's set is not easy.
31:43As an actor, you have to go to work as an actor.
31:46Like I would say, working with Nadeem Bhai is a treat.
31:49Because he will walk you with your character in every moment.
31:53He will tell you the tiniest of details, you know.
31:57He will engage you so much.
31:59But with Mehreen, you have to think about all of this yourself.
32:03So, is there a discussion with the director or the actor?
32:07It's obvious that there is a discussion, there is a lot of readings.
32:10We have a lot of readings with Mehreen.
32:13And in his mind, we are working on nuances.
32:19But Mehreen is seeing from an eagle eye point of view.
32:23What to capture her, where to do it and what to do it.
32:25So, it's like going back to school with Mehreen.
32:30You know, you have to do everything yourself as an actor.
32:34So, if you are used to going to the set, that doesn't go there.
32:39That doesn't go there.
32:41That doesn't go there. You have to do your work.
32:44Actually, as an actor, Mehreen is not a normal routine set.
32:46It's not a set of Mehreen.
32:47So, it's comparatively easy on sets?
32:50It's easy on sets.
32:51Wing it.
32:52It's easy on set.
32:53I feel like a lot of directors and D.O.P.s have a version that they have to do
33:01before.
33:02And they aren't very flexible about it.
33:04But Mehreen is very flexible about it.
33:06Like I said, the actor and character will not come in.
33:11He will give you a hint.
33:13He will give you a little trigger that it will be possible.
33:16Otherwise, he won't do it with that.
33:18So, you talked about styling.
33:20When you sit with your stylists, you develop your personality.
33:25If you are the leader of Mina, it will be not just look-wise but otherwise.
33:29It will be a personality.
33:31Tell me about the look.
33:32Because again, you are being appreciated for your…
33:35Yes, Alhamdulillah.
33:36Specifically, the look styling.
33:39Not your personality but the wardrobe.
33:41Of course, your beautiful hair.
33:43In the last time, we had a whole segment on your hair.
33:47You told me that people, actually directors, everybody, they want you to keep your hair.
33:53And you want to experiment.
33:54Yes.
33:54I tell you that I want to see what can happen.
34:00Because I am an actor.
34:01You know, I would want to see myself differently as well.
34:05But they say, no, we are good.
34:07We are good.
34:07We are good.
34:08We are good.
34:08When you were doing Mina's styling, what did you think about it?
34:14So, this is all Anila.
34:16Anila Murtaza.
34:17She is my stylist.
34:19And she said, how do we make it look good and effortless?
34:23So, that's when we came to dress pants and dress shirts for your office.
34:28And she also kept colour schemes.
34:30She also kept colour schemes.
34:31When she saw dialogues and scenes, she said there is too much going on.
34:36So, she said there is too much going on.
34:36So, this is not possible that we have a lot of prints or colours.
34:40So, it has to be mellow.
34:42It has to look like there is no effort.
34:45At the same time, you know, this household is a very like old money situation.
34:51So, at the same time, we have to do that as well.
34:53So, my sense of style is very random.
34:57Like, I live in old extra large t-shirts and pyjamas.
35:02Or in gym wear.
35:04So, these prim and proper clothes are very difficult for me.
35:09It is very difficult for me.
35:10I cannot.
35:12I cannot.
35:13So, I don't have to wear a little heel.
35:15I thought I would rehearse.
35:17What?
35:18I mean, what is it?
35:19Let me do it.
35:19Because I am most comfortable in like big.
35:22big clothes.
35:24So, when I came here, I thought I had a little body.
35:27Now, how are you going to heal?
35:28This is also the effort of actors.
35:30It is not that it will go on the set of band.
35:32Yes.
35:32That is not possible, Hassan.
35:34That is not possible.
35:34Because you have to look at the camera.
35:36And I am a tiny person.
35:38So, the fittings have to be right.
35:40You know.
35:41So, we have to keep a lot of things in consideration.
35:43Let's think.
35:44That is not possible.
35:45You guys, what is next?
35:48MashaAllah, Dr. Bahoo has picked up.
35:50I am a very successful person.
35:52Yes.
35:52That is not possible.
35:53You have to get scripts.
35:54I am sure.
35:55Now, there are calls.
35:57I am also starting to come.
35:58So, what do you think?
35:59That the next project, when you are going to be able to get into it.
36:01You have already had a concern that you are getting into it.
36:04Yes.
36:05Yes.
36:05What are you thinking about it?
36:06Yes.
36:07Actually, a project is going on.
36:09I am excited about it.
36:11I am actually doing a project with Farooq Rind.
36:13Okay.
36:14Yes.
36:14That is already in big stories.
36:15Ahad and Maya.
36:16Yes.
36:17I am very excited about it.
36:19It is a very powerful character.
36:23Okay.
36:23Nothing like Minna?
36:24Nothing like anything I have done.
36:27More like what you did in Jindo?
36:29More like when I did like six, seven years ago.
36:32It has been a long time.
36:35But, I cannot find a similar character.
36:40It is completely new.
36:42Yes.
36:42And I had a lovely time working with Ahad.
36:45He is such a good co-actor.
36:47So, yeah.
36:48Yeah.
36:48Do you have more Ahad?
36:50Yes.
36:51Maya also.
36:52Maya also.
36:52Maya also.
36:53And Farooq gives so much space to you.
37:00He is also a great director.
37:02He is a great director.
37:03And when he sees how much of an actor's dedication to their character.
37:07So, he does a lot of additions.
37:10He has made the personality of your character.
37:12He changes in the script.
37:16It is a lot of fun.
37:17Is it a negative character?
37:18No.
37:19It is not a negative character?
37:20No, no.
37:21It is not a negative character.
37:21It is a very shaded character.
37:24Okay.
37:24Maybe it is negative.
37:26Maybe it is negative.
37:27Maybe it is a great actor.
37:28Yes.
37:30She is a human child.
37:32Yes.
37:33Yes.
37:34Yes.
37:35Yes.
37:35What is positive and negative?
37:37All of us have shadows we are working with.
37:39Yes.
37:39So, yes.
37:41Yes.
37:41When is this drama coming?
37:43May.
37:44May.

37:50Thank you so much.
37:54Thank you for having me.
37:55It is always a pleasure chatting with you.
37:57It is also a pleasure talking about those actors.
38:00Those are the thinking actors.
38:01That you are thinking actors.
38:03You should not think so much.
38:04I keep telling myself to not take myself too seriously.
38:07But you should think a little bit.
38:08A little bit.
38:09A little bit.
38:09A little bit.
38:10A little bit.
38:11A little bit.
38:12A little bit.
38:20A little bit.
38:24A little bit.
38:25A little bit.
38:41A little bit.
38:42A little bit.
38:58A little bit.
39:02A little bit.
39:05A little bit.
39:07A little bit.
39:09A little bit.
39:09Thank you so much once again.
