It deals with two families and talks about two different kinds of love as well as some social issues in a light-hearted manner. The writer of the show is Umera Ahmed, who also wrote Zindagi Gulzaar Hai. I always wanted to work with Mehreen Jabbar. But yes, people watch a lot of Netflix and Amazon. But we do not have an OTT platform of our own yet. In India, ever since the lockdown the upper middle class seems to be consuming more OTT content than TV. For me, it does not matter show India ke liye hai ki Pakistan ke liye. I am so excited to be working on such a great script. This is my first experience with an OTT platform. Your show Ek Jhoothi Love Story is being streamed in 173 countries, including across the border in India. But if you talk of charisma, may be I will pick Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan, and stick to that. I like Sridevi’s work and I like Alia Bhatt also. I like Saif Ali Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor… their body of work is so different I can’t pick one. Otherwise, what they think of Shah Rukh Khan, how dignified Saif Ali Khan is…all of that was being discussed, just like we do. There was no difference at all, except perhaps for an accent issue as I come from an Urdu-speaking background. When I was in India to shoot my film, everyone was talking about the same things that we talk about here. Talk about Judaai - I used to watch that film daily. Of course, I grew up on Bollywood movies. So I have been more of a VJ than an actor.
There was a local channel called AR1 Music. Toh ek umeed wahan se bhi hai ki less budget mein we can work on that platform also. If you were in the middle of a project which got stalled, you will have forgotten about the character and will have to start all over again. But next year when they have to invest again, this period, when all were sitting at home for six months, will tell.

They say they will find out how bad this was only in 2021 because now they have some projects ready to put on TV for the audiences to watch. There are five-six producers in Pakistan who make projects. How has the lockdown affected the entertainment industry in Pakistan? Though I was 24, I was playing a 13-year-old and I looked 13! (giggles) I have fond memories of filming in Shimla and Delhi. She was assisting Imtiaz (Ali) sir, so she has that way of conducting herself. Sunaina Bhatnagar is a wonderful director to work with. You have done a film with Manisha Koirala. We are supposed to resume shooting in end-November. What’s wrong with me! People tell me: “Madiha, apna Instagram handle ka haal dekho!” (laughs) So I went overboard and posted seven photos in one day! Next day, when I meet him I will ask him. Everyone keeps telling me to show pictures from the set. You must have taken a dozen selfies with him by now. The work I have left in the film is only with him. So when I am in the frame with him, in my head I am thinking: “Oh, it is Fawad Khan!” But he will give you your space to perform. Of course, he is Pakistan’s biggest star.
What do you think?” He will give you your space. In between shots, he will come and say: “Madiha, let’s do it like this. On the sets, his energy is of a newcomer - the way he performs and improvises. A smart actor will always be a smart producer. How is the experience of working with Fawad Khan?įawad has been working for a while. The actors who played Mahira’s mother and Fawad’s father in Humsafar (a popular Pakistani drama that was screened in India when the channel Zindagi was on air) are also there. My character is different from what I have done so far. Fawad is an intelligent actor and he is producing this film also. Corona ke chakkar mein we had to stop shooting. You have a film on the floor with Fawad Khan. On the web, you can create your thing and leave it to the audience to decide whether they want to watch or not. Even when the values change, the change happens only in comparison to how things were earlier. There’s one called Nashpati which does good work. We don’t have OTT platforms in Pakistan yet. In what way would you say you get more liberty on OTT platforms? If you see a platform, where you will have a larger audience and you will have a little bit more liberty, of course you are happy. The story unfolds from there.Īre you happy you will get an international audience for the show?Īs an artiste, you want more people to watch. In her head, she thinks this is a way she can live her dream, even if briefly.
Is that why she creates a fake ID on social media?
