I've given 'Bin Roye' everything, and I'm hoping that people enjoy something different coming from Pakistani cinema.

How much money I demand - or don't demand - is my prerogative as an actor. However, when it comes to commercials, my outlook is different. And in that area, I do try to set certain standards, financially or otherwise.

You don't feel good about being criticised, especially when you've been loved so much.

I am scared to answer questions. I do not think and answer. I say whatever comes to my mind.

Humsafar' was the show that made me popular.

Actresses have always been in a position of power.

Only a good actor has an edge over a weak actor. A hardworking actor has an edge over a lazy actor. Nationality has nothing to do with it.

Luckily, I've had the chance to perform with some of the best actors in Pakistan, who helped me out a lot on set.

I've been travelling, returning home for promotional appearances, and juggling it all with being the mother of a five-year-old.

Being the Lux girl has been a real journey! I did my first ad before my first film released. I was shy and unaware.

I've suffered from anxiety and a lot of other things.

Now, I realise that love is peace. Love is when you are with somebody, and it's okay, and you don't have to talk. Their presence is important.
