00:07Hello, Assalamu alaykum khuatiyanahazad, my name is Hasan Chaudhary and this is Buzz.
00:12Buzz's episode with a new episode of Buzz.
00:16Before we talk about some other topics, I want to talk about Dr. Bahoo.
00:22Even though you will see Dr. Bahoo's latest episode of Dr. Bahoo,
00:26but I can't help but talk about the last two episodes of Dr. Bahoo.
00:31I am pretty sure that the two episodes of this week will be a good one.
00:34I haven't seen it yet.
00:35But the relationship between Salman and Saniya in the past two episodes was absolutely fantastic.
00:43Huge shoutout to Shujah and Kubra,
00:46which both have been so beautiful with their characters,
00:49which we are watching on the screen.
00:51We have seen it in a long time.
00:54We have seen it in any kind of drama, in any kind of TV channel in any kind of drama.
00:59There are a lot of credit for Meherine Jabbar and Sonam Mehdi.
01:03Meherine Jabbar's fantastic direction.
01:06Sonam Mehdi's beautiful and beautiful writing.
01:09Dr. Bahoo has not only seen me,
01:11but you all have seen it all.
01:15And you all have seen it all.
01:15You all have seen it all.
01:17And there is a lot of years after a drama in our television screens.
01:22You don't want my heart to be like this.
01:24When we have two episodes of this,
01:25I want to see the next episodes of Dr. Bahoo's latest episodes.
01:33And good luck too.
01:35I can't wait to see the next episodes of Dr. Bahoo's latest episodes.
01:39And when we talk about the drama,
01:41how can we talk about the drama?
01:43We don't talk about the drama.
01:44Finally, the drama is wrapped up.
01:46And again, it's wrapped up on a beautiful note.
01:49We have always seen that when a woman comes out of a difficult relationship,
01:55the drama is concluded.
01:57And it shows that a very difficult relationship is coming out.
02:02But now in her life,
02:05it's better that it doesn't become.
02:07I was very happy when we saw that
02:10Zeba finally decides that she will get married with Jemal.
02:16I think it was a beautiful turn.
02:18It was a beautiful turn in this story.
02:20Because as we know,
02:22during the course of this story,
02:23there were so many comments,
02:25there were so many feedback from the audience.
02:28Unfortunately, there were so many families.
02:30There were so many families
02:31who went through similar circumstances.
02:34They got a lot of motivation.
02:36They got a lot of reliability.
02:39They got a lot of reliability.
02:39They got a lot of reliability.
02:40And I know for a fact,
02:42that some of these women have actually
02:43decided that in the same way,
02:46in the same way,
02:47they got a lot of motivation.
02:49They got a lot of motivation.
02:49They got a lot of motivation.
02:52That alone,
02:53I think,
02:54goes on to prove
02:55that Umaira Ahmed's script,
02:57Miesem's direction,
02:59and every actor's performance
03:01was the most important thing.
03:03It was a very strong effect.
03:05It was a very strong effect.
03:08It was a strong effect.
03:14It was a strong effect.
03:17I would like to talk about it.
03:47Again,
03:48Imaad Irfani,
03:54Imaad Irfani's direction,
03:55it was a strong effect.
03:57That's the true mark of a great actor
04:00is that he will take his character
04:02instead of taking his spotlight.
04:05And the true mark of a great actor
04:13is that he will take his character
04:14instead of that he will take his spotlight.
04:14In other words,
04:17people were there. Please forgive me if I don't have a name of everyone because I don't want to miss
04:21anyone's name and if someone has been missed, then they will also be bad and I will also be bad.
04:27But to each and every person associated with Kafeel, well done. Huge shout-out to Big Bang as well.
04:33This was a production of Fahad Nuswa, Dr. Ali Kazmi. And of course, A.R.Y.A.
04:38This is a challenge that they always bring such stories to their audience.
04:43They are offbeat, they are related to our society.
04:48But people are angry or angry with them. Huge shout-out to A.R.Y.A. as well.
04:55Mr. Ali Kazmi is in such a mode where you have seen some twists and turns in the drama.
05:02I was watching some feedback that some people are saying that they can't be connected with Mirza Kazmi.
05:17I hope that you will be able to share your thoughts in the comments section.
05:22So thank you very much for that.
05:23So I hope you will be sharing your thoughts in the comments section.
05:32So I will be sharing your thoughts in the comments section.
05:33I will share my thoughts with you.
05:34It's time for you to meet our guest with today.
05:38Today, you are watching them on various dramas on television screen.
05:42They have a drama in ARY.
05:44Before they have seen ARY in a popular drama.
05:48And before they have seen ARY in a popular reality show.
05:53Today we have a contestant of Tamasha.
05:55And I know on that note,
05:57many people will ask this question
05:59that Tamasha is season 5.
06:02So, I am going to tell you how to do that.
06:05Our guest today is a contestant of Tamasha.
06:08And after that, it feels like her career has taken off.
06:12So, today we will talk about their drama and experience.
06:18Ladies and gentlemen,
06:19Zainab Raza.
06:22Assalamualaikum Zainab. How are you?
06:23Assalamualaikum. I am good. How are you?
06:25I am very well. Thank you so much for coming to my show.
06:27Please have a seat.
06:28Thank you for having me.
06:29Look at how many pictures we have put in the back.
06:32It is actually really nice.
06:34Is it right? Very nice.
06:35Look at the bottom,
06:36there is a picture of your character.
06:39Not so much of a rahmat.
06:41Are you in this drama?
06:42I am a zahmat.
06:42You are a zahmat.
06:43I am a zahmat.
06:44I am a zahmat.
06:45I am a zahmat.
06:50I am a zahmat.
06:53I am a zahmat.
06:55I am a zahmat.
07:29I am a zahmat.
07:34I am a zahmat.
07:36I am a zahmat.
07:45I am a zahmat.
07:49I am a zahmat.
07:52I am a zahmat.
07:59I am a zahmat.
08:05I am a zahmat.
08:22I am a zahmat.
08:24I am a zahmat.
08:24I am a zahmat.
08:26I am a zahmat.
08:27I am a zahmat.
08:27Honestly, I really enjoy negative characters.
08:30Because there is a lot of margin.
08:33All actors say that when you are playing the antagonist,
08:35you have to laugh at your teeth and say,
08:37hmm hmm hmm, drink this.
08:40I mean, there is no variety of emotions.
08:43You are always saying hmm hmm.
08:44Unless you are showing a strong, empowered girl.
08:47Who are showing a strong and empowered girl.
08:51I would really like to do that as well.
08:53Because I think I will also get to play the same range of emotions.
08:57Because now, I noticed that,
08:59I am not showing a girl who is only a poor girl.
09:02She is sitting in the house.
09:02She is showing a poor girl who wants to go outside and go outside.
09:05She wants to go outside and go outside.
09:07She is doing vlogging in my other dramas.
09:09So, I really would like to do this.
09:12And I think that,
09:14I am enjoying this character.
09:17Tell me something.
09:18You obviously started out as a model.
09:20Yes.
09:20You did a lot of TVCs.
09:22Yeah.
09:23Acting is a very different job.
09:25And as much glamour and modelling.
09:29Even in TVCs,
09:31you also facilitated.
09:33Because you are playing character here.
09:36It means that you are in every situation.
09:39In every place.
09:40There are shoots.
09:41There are long shoots.
09:42So,
09:43you have transitioned from a model to an actor.
09:46Did this consciously happen?
09:48Or is it just the opportunity came along?
09:50And you were like,
09:50okay,
09:51let me do it.
09:52I think,
09:53the opportunity did come along.
09:55Even though intention was there.
09:56I think that when you put it out in the universe,
09:59it does come to you.
10:00So,
10:01I did kind of start coming to Karachi in about 2018.
10:05I think,
10:06I played a theatre by the name of Dracula.
10:08We played three shows in Lahore.
10:11Three shows in Karachi.
10:13So,
10:13that's why I came to Karachi.
10:14And I enjoyed Karachi's vibe so much.
10:18That I started coming here more and more.
10:19And the intention was there.
10:21That I do really enjoy modelling.
10:22I mean,
10:23content creation wasn't enough.
10:25It was in Covid.
10:26But,
10:27I started coming to Karachi more.
10:28And I wanted to get a place here.
10:30But,
10:30that was sufficient reason for me.
10:33And that reason did come along in 2021.
10:35When I got offered my first drama.
10:38But,
10:38did you want to become an actor?
10:40From an earlier age.
10:40I did want to go into acting.
10:41While growing up,
10:43you were like,
10:43I'm being an actor.
10:45No,
10:45not while growing up.
10:46When I was younger,
10:47someone asked me,
10:48what do you want to be when you grow up?
10:50So,
10:51I was a television baby.
10:52Television was very much there.
10:54And international channels,
10:55where all the children are cartoons.
10:56So,
10:57I remember,
10:58I used to watch these
11:00as well as children.
11:01What do you say?
11:03Reality TV sort of situations.
11:05You know,
11:05there is a host,
11:06and then the children come to arts and crafts,
11:08and things like that.
11:09And I would imagine really enjoying something like that.
11:12So,
11:12when someone would ask,
11:13what would you want to be when you grow up?
11:15I would be like,
11:15a singer,
11:17or a dancer,
11:17or a teacher.
11:18I mean,
11:18that was a very big variation.
11:19There was anything
11:20that I saw in major roles
11:22To do with arts.
11:23Yes.
11:24In a sense,
11:25you can say.
11:25So,
11:25I saw things like that.
11:27I would do something like that.
11:29Doctor or lawyer type things,
11:31I've never thought about it.
11:31I thought about it.
11:32I thought about it.
11:32I thought about it.
11:33I thought about it.
11:34I thought about it.
11:34I thought about it.
11:35I thought about it.
11:36I never thought about it.
11:39I would be an actor,
11:41or a model growing up.
11:42Especially because,
11:43growing up in Pakistan,
11:45around 10 years back,
11:46this was not acceptable.
11:47or a respectable career.
11:49What was not acceptable?
11:50I mean,
11:50in my family,
11:51and the people I was surrounded in,
11:53being an actor,
11:54or a model,
11:54or in the entertainment industry,
11:56was not considered respectable.
11:58I would like to think,
11:59Zainab,
12:00that in the past 15 years,
12:03a big attitude changed.
12:05But,
12:06But you're saying,
12:07even 10 years before,
12:09I started working,
12:10but it was not.
12:11This is 2015-16.
12:13Sorry?
12:14This is 2015-16.
12:152014-15.
12:17In that moment,
12:18I think,
12:19I started with modeling.
12:21Okay.
12:21And at that time,
12:22there were hardly any,
12:24well-educated models,
12:26that our families,
12:27know that they are well-educated.
12:28You know,
12:29it was in us,
12:30which is very big.
12:32But,
12:33you know,
12:33there was this stereotype,
12:35that anyone in the entertainment industry,
12:37there is very,
12:38bad ways to get into this industry,
12:41and you have to,
12:42follow very,
12:43unacceptable practices.
12:44It's a dubious path,
12:46you have to take the success.
12:48Yes.
12:48Have you experienced that?
12:50Have you done modeling or acting?
12:52No.
12:53Alhamdulillah,
12:53I did not,
12:54in Pakistan.
12:55Yes, sometimes I would get these suspicious emails,
12:58that we are looking for a shoot for Nike,
13:01from Pakistan.
13:02Nike in Pakistan,
13:03I haven't launched in Pakistan.
13:04You know?
13:05So,
13:05I had such an amazing email,
13:07which I knew,
13:08I mean,
13:08that was so wise,
13:09and my family,
13:11my mother,
13:11had such a lot,
13:12that suspicious emails don't go for them.
13:14So,
13:15I am a respectable place,
13:16for example,
13:16you are calling from this,
13:18you know,
13:19established fashion brand,
13:20that they want to hire you for a shoot,
13:22they are calling you literally to their office,
13:24where you can google and see,
13:25that this is a brand office,
13:27and you have a call from this,
13:28so,
13:29you have to research,
13:29go to a good place,
13:31then go,
13:31but don't go for these suspicious things.
13:33as you are telling,
13:34that in your family,
13:35or social circle,
13:37there was no such acceptability,
13:39at that time.
13:40Was that a challenge for you?
13:41Yes,
13:42it was absolutely a challenge.
13:43So, when you started,
13:44what happened at home?
13:45I was the first person in my family to do it,
13:47and,
13:48I would say,
13:49it wasn't,
13:50100% of the career path,
13:52that my family had an issue with,
13:53it was more so to do with,
13:55I was generally growing up at that time,
13:5717, 18 year old,
13:58you are in a rebellious phase,
14:00you want to be out of the house,
14:01and with your friends all the time,
14:03coming home late,
14:04and things like this.
14:04So,
14:05those things,
14:06and then you know,
14:07obviously like,
14:08what kind of outfits you are wearing,
14:09and stuff like that.
14:10So, that combined with my career choice,
14:12is what made it like,
14:13worse.
14:14Because,
14:15they thought this might,
14:16like,
14:17my attitude might be,
14:18Spiral out of control.
14:20And no,
14:20they thought that this might be influenced by my career,
14:23that maybe,
14:23with,
14:24models or actors,
14:25this is the attitude,
14:26they are careless,
14:27and,
14:28I think,
14:29my family wasn't thinking about the fact,
14:30that I was just a teenager.
14:32You know,
14:32if you removed my career aspect,
14:35I think I would have still been doing the same thing.
14:37Now that,
14:37Tamasha is just around the corner,
14:40in your life,
14:41and in your career,
14:42Tamasha,
14:42I assume,
14:43holds a special place.
14:44It was.
14:45Because,
14:45you were working,
14:47but,
14:47I would like to believe that,
14:49Tamasha really put you,
14:50out there,
14:51on the map.
14:52It did.
14:52It did.
14:52So,
14:53how did Tamasha have you,
14:55when you knew that,
14:56this is a reality show,
14:59where I can go,
15:01how difficult or easy,
15:02was that decision?
15:04I was scouted,
15:06for Tamasha,
15:07by one of the producers,
15:08that used to work,
15:09in ARY,
15:10who,
15:10had seen me socially,
15:12and,
15:13I feel like,
15:14he had seen my,
15:17I mean,
15:17the way I am,
15:18and,
15:18they thought,
15:19this girl would be a great fit for Tamasha,
15:21he will do Tamasha.
15:22Okay?
15:22And,
15:23when I called her,
15:24I remember coming here,
15:26and sitting in the meeting,
15:27and I was like,
15:28why me?
15:29And,
15:30they said,
15:30we think you would be a perfect fit,
15:32and,
15:33you will blow up,
15:34you would be our next,
15:35big superstar,
15:35blah, blah, blah.
15:36You said everything?
15:37Yes.
15:38And,
15:39I am not going to lie,
15:41for the most part,
15:42what I promised,
15:43are all there.
15:44This is,
15:45you will see Tamasha,
15:46you will see the drama,
15:47and,
15:48that's exactly what happened.
15:50Last year,
15:51I did,
15:51I mean,
15:52after Tamasha,
15:54I immediately got hired,
15:55for one drama,
15:56for Khatakabr.
15:57I mean,
15:59that's the day,
15:59the shoot was finished,
16:00that day,
16:01I called for ARY,
16:02which,
16:02the last day,
16:05of my shoot,
16:06it just so happened.
16:08I remember,
16:08the shoot was finished,
16:10that day,
16:10I asked,
16:12what's next?
16:12I was like,
16:13I mean,
16:13I don't know yet,
16:14I have not received a call,
16:15for another drama.
16:16I am not talking about this,
16:17and I am going in,
16:18to shoot for another sequence,
16:19and,
16:20I called for Bharam.
16:22I was like,
16:23wow.
16:23I mean,
16:24it was my prayer,
16:24that the drama,
16:25as I was finished,
16:26and,
16:26when Bharam was finished,
16:29it was my prayer,
16:30that now,
16:30I will do two dramas,
16:32and,
16:32after Bharam was finished,
16:34I took one drama,
16:36Rahmet.
16:36Rahmet and Rangdeh.
16:37And,
16:37I also called for Rangdeh.
16:40So, definitely,
16:41Tamasha,
16:41you don't need to ask,
16:43what are you doing,
16:44what are you doing,
16:44what are you doing,
16:45what are you doing?
16:47I hope so.
16:48I hope so.
16:48Ladies and gentlemen,
16:49Zainab,
16:50we are here,
16:51we will meet you,
16:53after a very short break.
16:55Welcome back,
16:56Khawatino's Rath,
16:57Zainab,
16:57Chet Pati Guftagu,
16:59Ji Zainab,
17:00what was your experience like,
17:02in Tamasha?
17:02Tamasha has since become,
17:03much bigger now.
17:04Yes.
17:05Because,
17:05the season of your people,
17:07I think,
17:07I think,
17:08Tamasha had a lot of fun,
17:09that really like,
17:10you know,
17:11went viral,
17:11all of your things.
17:13First,
17:14who all are you in touch with,
17:16in your co-contestants?
17:17Who all am I in touch with,
17:19on Instagram?
17:21I am still in touch with,
17:23I mean,
17:23Umar, Aruba,
17:24Michelle,
17:25Jinead,
17:25who were my friends there.
17:27They all,
17:28you know,
17:28on Instagram,
17:29socially,
17:29hello, hi,
17:30that's what happens.
17:33For a really long time,
17:34right after Tamasha,
17:35with my Umar and Aruba,
17:36almost regularly,
17:37we would like hang out,
17:38go for food and stuff like that.
17:40And then, you know,
17:41obviously everyone,
17:42moves on with their lives.
17:44So, I mean,
17:44I am still in touch with these people.
17:46Besides,
17:47Ambar Ji,
17:48my morning shows,
17:49Natasha,
17:49my morning shows,
17:51Neha,
17:52Ali Sikander,
17:53I think,
17:54Are you still in touch with Neha?
17:56Honestly,
17:58for me,
17:59that was just one show,
18:00all of that drama.
18:01I know,
18:02No grudges?
18:03No,
18:04for me,
18:04no grudges.
18:06We did not keep in touch,
18:07after Tamasha.
18:08I saw her,
18:10on,
18:10I think,
18:10an ARY show,
18:11for which,
18:12the producers did not tell me,
18:15that she would be there.
18:16Not that it would make a difference.
18:18But,
18:18she always tells me,
18:19that she will be there.
18:19She didn't tell me.
18:21When she came,
18:23I said,
18:23Salam to her,
18:24and everything on the show
18:25was completely normal.
18:26You know,
18:26we were talking about all the things,
18:27we were talking about,
18:29I don't hold grudges like that.
18:32It's good.
18:32It's good.
18:33It's good.
18:33What's,
18:34negative things,
18:36they are all in the past.
18:38Yeah.
18:39When you are watching,
18:40they get invested in your life,
18:42and one move,
18:43one move,
18:43one move,
18:44one move,
18:44from a microscopic lens,
18:45one move.
18:47I think,
18:48I've kind of,
18:49stayed in touch with everyone.
18:50Even Rani,
18:51Danish,
18:53Nida,
18:55I hope I'm not missing out on anyone.
18:57Ali,
18:57Ali,
18:59maybe only Eddie is the one person,
19:01who just happened,
19:02and he was not in touch,
19:04When you left with Tamasha and then you started to come to drama, so that was a process that I
19:10left out and I will feel a little bit of time when I came to come to my house or
19:13did you not get enough time and you were like back?
19:18So, immediately I got eliminated after two weeks and after being eliminated there were still four more weeks till everyone
19:25else came out so in those four weeks I was very invested just in Tamasha, my life still very much
19:31revolved around it
19:33I still remember that during your elimination there was a huge hue and cry, what's the elimination, how did it
19:42happen and then when you came back, it will be a wild card entry
19:47Yeah but..
19:49If you get the chance to see the season and say that we are sending people back to the previous
19:53contestant, would you go?
19:56I'd go.
19:58Huh?
19:58I'd go.
19:59You would?
19:59Really?
20:00I might just.
20:01I might just.
20:02Now you have to understand the game.
20:04That's when I was not taking the game show as a game show.
20:07I had just come back from a vacation.
20:09I was taking this as another mini vacation.
20:11There will be phones, there will be chilling, there will be games, there will be food.
20:14Which is exactly what it was.
20:16Like..
20:16You see that as a mini vacation?
20:18I do.
20:18Because a lot of people also think it's very difficult, it's very challenging.
20:21Look, a lot of people had done their research.
20:23They watched the previous shows, they watched the other international reality shows.
20:27I was never one of those people.
20:29So, I didn't do homework.
20:30I didn't know how to take the screen time and what will happen.
20:33But it just so happened that my natural energy within those two weeks was so astronomical that it made the
20:42effect that it needed.
20:43I didn't even need to stay for the whole thing to finish.
20:46I mean, Alhamdulillah, I'm still a lot more out there than a lot of people that made it way farther
20:51ahead.
20:51Or maybe that's their choice.
20:53Maybe they want to work on TV or Joe Marzi.
20:55But those two weeks were good enough for me.
20:56So, would you think that after Tamasha, the course of your career completely changed?
21:01Completely.
21:01If Tamasha doesn't happen, then what kind of things are bigger at the speed?
21:05Or maybe you won't change the speed at that speed?
21:08Very likely.
21:09Because right after Tamasha, I got offered Takabbar.
21:13And Takabbar was already finished.
21:15It was already started.
21:16It was already finished.
21:18It was already finished.
21:18It was already finished.
21:19On the last day, they told me,
21:23see you in a bit.
21:25I was like, what do you mean?
21:26They said, we'll see you soon.
21:28And we'll see Hina soon.
21:29And we might even see Salma Hassan soon.
21:32I was like, no way.
21:34They were like, yes.
21:35Because I didn't want to take anything to my head.
21:37I was like, I don't know if I'm going to be high.
21:39But when you go for a meeting for Tamasha,
21:44you sell a kind of dream.
21:47And they don't sell you a half dream.
21:53Half dream.
21:53Half dream is not a dream.
21:54Yes.
21:55That's what you are saying.
21:58It really is like that.
21:59I thought that I was like.
22:01So, in that sense,
22:02you will also have a great job.
22:04A lot of people who went further than you,
22:07they didn't transpire.
22:09No.
22:10Look.
22:10In any place,
22:11you can't do anything.
22:13It's not possible.
22:14You know.
22:15But I do.
22:16Okay.
22:16Now,
22:17Have you had to seek work after?
22:19Recently,
22:20that you have to go to production houses.
22:22I want to work.
22:24I want to do acting.
22:25No.
22:25I want to work.
22:26Yeah.
22:27So, this is the most important thing.
22:29Yeah.
22:30But I do encourage people to go to Tamasha.
22:32Some of my friends have asked me,
22:33should we go?
22:34I have said,
22:34if you want to become an actor,
22:35go.
22:37Because you have the screen time,
22:38your raw emotions,
22:39your eyes,
22:39your eyes,
22:41and what kind of platform is in Pakistan,
22:43where you can put yourself out there.
22:45Also,
22:46if you are big on styling,
22:48your styling and all of those things.
22:51100%.
22:52If anything,
22:53you know,
22:53when I was in Tamasha,
22:54I felt very good.
22:56I didn't know the clothes,
22:57I didn't know the clothes.
22:58I had to wear a night suit T-shirts,
23:00some jeans,
23:00and I had to style my night suit T-shirts
23:03with jeans.
23:04So,
23:07I mean,
23:08definitely,
23:08a great platform to put yourself out there.
23:10Now,
23:11as we were talking about,
23:13at the beginning,
23:14you've got Rahmat
23:15and you've got
23:18Rang Dei,
23:18two dramas parallel.
23:20Both roles are similar.
23:23Ideally,
23:23what do you want to do?
23:24A role,
23:25which is your dream role.
23:26A dream role,
23:28for me,
23:29would be an adventure,
23:31like a thriller kind of,
23:32you know,
23:33action movie.
23:33You have to produce it yourself.
23:35It doesn't have to be made.
23:36Very true.
23:37But,
23:37the next thing I want to do
23:39is putting it out there in the universe
23:40and for all the directors and producers,
23:43I do want to do a
23:44little girl.
23:45Yeah.
23:46Because,
23:46I've seen this,
23:47I've seen this,
23:47you know,
23:48Rahmat and Rang Dei
23:50and Rang Dei
23:51gave me a freedom
23:54that,
23:55you know your character,
23:57you got it,
23:58you do you.
23:58Okay,
23:59this is a good thing.
24:01Rahmat and Rang Dei
24:03told me,
24:03that,
24:03that,
24:04that,
24:04you know your character,
24:07you got it,
24:07you do you.
24:08That is what
24:11differentiates my character in Rang Dei
24:12from my character and Rahmat.
24:14in a minute,
24:14I'm really saying that
24:15Urdu line,
24:16which,
24:17Anaya will never say
24:18because Anaya has a lot of cringe lines.
24:20That,
24:21if,
24:21if,
24:22if,
24:23you need a friend,
24:24Anaya will never say that
24:25Anaya will never say that.
24:26Anaya is the kind of character who says,
24:27are you crazy?
24:28What are you doing?
24:28Breathe in?
24:30Breathe out.
24:31You know,
24:31so that's Anaya.
24:33As opposed to Faryal.
24:34Faryal,
24:35Urdu also speaks good.
24:36Although,
24:38there is a difference between both the characters.
24:40and both I am very loud,
24:42I am very negative,
24:43I am very scheming or planning.
24:45But the next thing I definitely want to do.
24:47you will be able to do a girl's role?
24:49That's not a challenge.
24:51Why?
24:52Why?
24:52Why would it be a challenge?
24:53Because,
24:53as you say English,
24:54you usually say that,
24:56usually,
24:56we usually,
24:57I have a conscience of our drama.
24:58Usually,
24:59in our drama,
24:59I have a beef that it is shown,
25:02that the English people say,
25:03they are Amir.
25:04And the people say that they are in certain light,
25:08they cast it.
25:09Look,
25:10our actors,
25:11mashallah,
25:12all the poor girls,
25:13characters,
25:14they are all very well educated.
25:16You know,
25:16they are all very well spoken,
25:18well styled.
25:19The only difference is,
25:21because,
25:22they are always,
25:24I mean,
25:25you know,
25:25the lead pickers,
25:27they prefer that from them.
25:29Maybe,
25:29I haven't seen that from them.
25:32But,
25:32I think I would do this really well.
25:34what else is,
25:34being an actor,
25:36is all about,
25:38challenges,
25:39and doing something on screen,
25:40which you are not in real life.
25:42I have seen,
25:43you have a little criticism,
25:44I have seen,
25:46where people said,
25:47your expressions are perhaps not on point.
25:50What do you say about this?
25:50I mean,
25:52if you have a viewer,
25:53if you have a viewer,
25:54it will be right.
25:55How strong is your self analysis?
25:57My self analysis is very strong,
25:59and they might not be wrong,
26:00actually.
26:01Okay.
26:01for the most part,
26:02for the most part,
26:04especially comparing myself,
26:05from Bharamanta Kabbar,
26:06to Rehmat and Rangdeh,
26:07I see the change,
26:09I see the growth,
26:10I see the difference,
26:11and,
26:12I am very proud,
26:14of,
26:14how far I have come.
26:15I am very happy for myself.
26:17It's still a learning curve.
26:18I am not going to any acting school,
26:20I am not going,
26:21there is nowhere,
26:22for me to learn my acting.
26:24I am learning my acting,
26:24from which way,
26:26from watching my previous work.
26:27When I am watching myself,
26:28I am like,
26:28dude,
26:29I can't speak like this.
26:29I can't speak like this.
26:30So,
26:31somewhere,
26:32for example,
26:33my voice is so high pitched.
26:35Even in normal life,
26:36when I am angry,
26:38or,
26:39I want to express something,
26:41my voice is so high pitched.
26:43What are you doing?
26:44You know,
26:44so,
26:45this thing,
26:46and a few other things,
26:47that I did,
26:48of course,
26:48no one is perfect.
26:49If I am being honest,
26:51I am doing something with senior actors,
26:54and I am like,
26:54why did I do that?
26:55You know,
26:56so,
26:57we are all learning.
26:58So,
26:58you are learning,
26:58some actors are not,
27:00observe and learn.
27:02I have seen that series,
27:04I have seen that actor,
27:05I have seen that actor,
27:05not in Pakistan,
27:06but internationally.
27:07I am a fan of that actor,
27:09so,
27:09I am a fan of that actor.
27:10So,
27:10what is your learning process?
27:11What is your learning process?
27:14What is your work?
27:15I have seen my work,
27:15I have seen my actors,
27:17Hollywood,
27:18Bollywood,
27:19everything I have seen.
27:19What is your favourite actor?
27:22Internationally?
27:23Yes,
27:24internationally,
27:24locally,
27:25whoever you like,
27:26who you like.
27:27Locally,
27:28I would definitely say,
27:30the way Sajal acts,
27:32with her eyes,
27:33without saying a single word,
27:34wow,
27:35mashallah,
27:36like,
27:37I get blown away.
27:38and also,
27:40Rabia consumes acting,
27:42and Bharam,
27:42I have seen her acting,
27:43and I used to be like,
27:45I was like,
27:46wow,
27:47you know,
27:49so,
27:50definitely,
27:50like,
27:51out of female actors,
27:52I would say,
27:53these people,
27:54Junaid,
27:55Junaid,
27:57it's like,
27:57he doesn't do acting,
27:59like,
28:00it's,
28:00it was great working with him.
28:02Hollywood,
28:03there's just so many,
28:04there's just so many,
28:05like,
28:05I keep thinking about the fact,
28:07how Pakistan,
28:08at least in film,
28:09you will see that,
28:11there's hardly ever,
28:12any new faces,
28:13you know,
28:14but,
28:15like,
28:16Hollywood,
28:16all the platforms,
28:18one and one,
28:20one new actor,
28:20and you're like,
28:22where did he come from?
28:23Why didn't we know?
28:24Who are male actors from Pakistan,
28:26who do you want to work with?
28:28I want to work with male actors,
28:33that's a good question,
28:34actually,
28:35I haven't thought about it,
28:35I haven't thought about it,
28:36I've thought about it,
28:38I've thought about it,
28:38who I want to work with,
28:39but,
28:40I've never thought about it,
28:41I've never thought about it.
28:42He's a hero,
28:43you're a hero,
28:44and become a drama.
28:46Honestly,
28:48Fahad Mustafa.
28:49I want to work with Fahad Mustafa.
28:51Yeah,
28:51I would love to work with him.
28:53Good.
28:53It's been great working under his production houses,
28:55I would love to actually,
28:57even though he's not like,
28:58he recently became even more like,
29:00you know, popular as an actor,
29:01he was as a host previously,
29:03but out of all the other Pakistani actors,
29:06even Joe.
29:07He was always popular as an actor as well.
29:09He was, but my point is,
29:11he was more popular as a host.
29:12He was more focused on producing,
29:13making films.
29:14Yeah.
29:15It was a little bit of time.
29:16But, I think,
29:18and I think,
29:18some actor,
29:19maybe,
29:20wow,
29:21needless to say,
29:22we have amazing,
29:23like,
29:24amazing,
29:25male Pakistani actors as well,
29:27but,
29:27I actually didn't think about male actor.
29:29Okay,
29:30all of your fans and viewers,
29:33who are watching,
29:35and are connected with the story,
29:37what should you think about this story?
29:40I know,
29:40there might be some spoilers also,
29:43so,
29:43in the upcoming episodes,
29:45so,
29:45I would say,
29:47don't be an Anaya.
29:49Do not be an Anaya,
29:50do not be a zehmat to your family,
29:52and the people around you.
29:53Be good,
29:54be positive,
29:55be like,
29:56be a source of light for people.
29:58Do not be an Anaya.
30:02Yeah.
30:03Do you relate to Anaya in any way,
30:07at all?
30:07Yes.
30:08What way?
30:09There are many lines,
30:10which Anaya has said,
30:12which actually,
30:13Zainab has written.
30:15Okay.
30:15The writer has not written.
30:16Zainab has written?
30:17Yes.
30:18Yes.
30:19Naveephah would let me.
30:20Okay.
30:20Breathe in, breathe out.
30:22Breathe in, breathe out was me.
30:23Okay, breathe in, breathe out.
30:24I think, in episode 2,
30:25there is a scene,
30:26where I'm sitting on the sofa,
30:29and I'm like,
30:29good morning.
30:30And my mom's like,
30:30Anaya, look at the time,
30:31it's not morning, it's noon.
30:32I was like,
30:33when I wake up,
30:35then it's morning.
30:36This is my edition,
30:37because it's so me.
30:38Like, to me,
30:39then,
30:39it starts when I leave.
30:40Okay.
30:41After that,
30:42there's an other line,
30:43there's many lines,
30:44which I've added to myself.
30:45Because you know,
30:46writers,
30:47to emphasize one particular line,
30:49repeat the line.
30:51How can it happen?
30:52What kind of type lines do I have?
30:53You know?
30:54So, there's this one part,
30:56where Bari says to me,
30:58in our office scene,
30:59and Bari says to me,
31:00Anaya,
31:01you know,
31:02you hang out every time,
31:04this is not suitable for our relationship.
31:07And I,
31:08the line I'm going to say,
31:09I've said,
31:10this was not what was written in the script.
31:14In this context,
31:15it was different.
31:15I was like,
31:16are you crazy?
31:17I didn't know that you're so narrow-minded.
31:20Like,
31:22excuse me,
31:23if you think I'm going to change myself,
31:24no, you have to change yourself.
31:25I would never do that.
31:26Like,
31:27what's wrong with you?
31:28And then,
31:28I'll take it to her daughter,
31:30it's your daughter's influence.
31:32This is not how you actually think.
31:34So,
31:34this is very me.
31:35Like,
31:36if people,
31:36and what I've said,
31:38my friends laughed so much on scenes like that,
31:41because they're like,
31:41Zainabh,
31:42this is you,
31:43you're through and through.
31:44Okay, my friend.
31:45Now, you're saying,
31:46don't be like Anaya.
31:48You're like Anaya.
31:49Only on parts like,
31:50if someone feels like I'm going to change myself,
31:53then it's not like that.
31:54And,
31:54if someone feels like I'm going to change myself,
31:57then I'm like,
31:59you know,
32:00of course,
32:01like,
32:01my mentality might not relate with many masses of Pakistan's mentality,
32:06but,
32:07Anaya,
32:08is it difficult or easy to play?
32:10It's very easy.
32:11Like,
32:11you're saying,
32:12you've given yourself a line.
32:14Very enjoyable.
32:15I'm really enjoying it.
32:16Sometimes,
32:17we're all laughing.
32:18We're like,
32:18and like,
32:19sometimes,
32:20when I'm being mean to my friends,
32:21you know,
32:22I'm very dramatic.
32:23They're like,
32:23Zainabh,
32:24this is what you're doing.
32:25They don't know that you're the only one.
32:28Not,
32:28I mean,
32:28they say it as a joke.
32:30But,
32:30scheming,
32:30and things like this,
32:33I do not condone for this.
32:34Do not be like that part of Anaya,
32:36but, definitely,
32:36stand up for yourself.
32:38Not much to be inspired by from Anaya,
32:40she's late,
32:40very bad habit.
32:42She stands up for herself,
32:44good habit.
32:45She does not conform to social norms,
32:47good habit.
32:49Good habit stories,
32:50bad habits,
32:52she's burning.
32:53It's not good.
32:54And,
32:55in this particular scene,
32:57that,
32:57I'm telling myself,
32:58that,
32:58I don't particularly agree with that.
32:59I don't particularly agree with that.
33:03Anaya,
33:03Mangeetar.
33:04Mangeetar, yeah.
33:06So,
33:06that,
33:07I don't condone.
33:07But,
33:08if you think,
33:09I'm going to change myself for you,
33:10that's not going to happen.
33:11Tell me about your styling.
33:12How many efforts have been in it?
33:14Styling was also,
33:15again,
33:16very similar to my own wardrobe.
33:18It's not a particular effort.
33:19It is definitely an effort building the wardrobe,
33:21building the character.
33:23And also,
33:23to make sure,
33:24that you don't have to do a formal clothing style.
33:26Now,
33:26I've done a formal fashion that,
33:28it was an underlying thing.
33:32It's not something that was said,
33:33or maybe,
33:34people have noticed.
33:35But,
33:35I wanted to show this.
33:37Because she doesn't receive love in the house.
33:39She doesn't receive time with her father.
33:41So,
33:41that was an expression of fashion
33:43and makeup.
33:44So,
33:45In every episode, my hair is completely different. Different hairstyles, different styling,
33:49some t-shirt, some of that, some of that. Which was a pain. It was very difficult
33:54that now you are going to shoot straight hair and then you have to do next curls,
33:59then next continuity straight, then next continuity tie. So I learnt from our amazing
34:05makeup artist and stylist, stick to one hairstyle. Curls do, throughout curls maintain,
34:10straight curls do, throughout straight maintain. Or you have to tie-up down
34:13and change for events. But of course, we are given a budget for our wardrobe. And then
34:20to build a wardrobe, it is an effort. But it's not like, for example, I notice
34:26because I want to do it, I notice that what is wearing a poor girl. So if I go to
34:30a poor girl,
34:33then I might have to like, because this is what I wear in my daily life,
34:37poor girl's wardrobe, you know, I wear a little colourful, and there are such prints that
34:42we normally don't wear. You know, like there are solids, embroidery, like this is not
34:47particularly in an outfit for a poor girl. So for that, I might have to research a little bit.
34:54Okay. I am just saying, you know.
34:55Okay. So you are saying that it is a different style for a different person,
34:59and then there is also a lot of effort. Of course, it takes time.
35:01If you have a discussion with a stylist, you have to manage yourself.
35:05I am my own stylist. Because you have a background from fashion.
35:07I am my own stylist. You are your own stylist?
35:10Yeah. So what do you do with this?
35:12So now, as I was saying before, you are asking what is in the pipeline?
35:16Because by the time, you have to wrap up the drama or not?
35:19No dramas have been wrapped up.
35:21No, you haven't come to the phone.
35:23Uh, I am working on something.
35:27Well done.
35:27I haven't started shooting, but Inshallah.
35:30Okay. Is it going to be the next one?
35:32Yes.
35:33Anaya and Faryal are the same?
35:36Then?
35:37What is this? How will the mold be broken?
35:39You will have to break something, because you will have the same offers.
35:44I am not going to lie, I don't mind it.
35:46I am not going to say no to work.
35:48Just because the character is like this or the same.
35:50Yes, the script is bad, I will admit it.
35:52But if the script is good, the production is good.
35:54And if the characters are like that, you will not do it?
35:56Who knows?
35:58Who knows? Maybe, maybe not.
36:00Maybe I will stop working until somebody gives me a positive character.
36:03On that positive note, then Khwartino's Raat, you will want to be happy.
36:07Thank you so much, Zainab. It was a pleasure chatting with you.
36:11I wish you all the very best.
36:13Inshallah next week, Khwartino's Raat,
36:14you will be happy.
36:17Thank you so much.
36:19and I'm sorry to stop there.
