In the event that there’s one thing model and entertainer Saheefa Jabbar Khattak is eminent for across the Pakistani TV scene, it is for continuously landing jobs where she is bound to burst sobbing with total surrender. The one thing that doesn’t make her sob, in any case, is the possibility of investing any measure of energy in Karachi.
“I love everything about Karachi, particularly the food!” burst out the Lahori entertainer, scarcely ready to contain her delight when gotten some information about the city in a meeting with Free Urdu prior to rolling out a rundown of her #1 things in her #1 city. “Biryani, nihari – you all make the best nihari! – and Gazebo and Consumes Street – I love everything! I know that regardless of whether I turn up at the most arbitrary thela wala, I’ll get the most astonishing food.”
Saheefa has as of late been at the center of attention subsequent to declaring her rebound following four years as Sawera in the parody Rafta, Rafta, a breakaway from her generally miserable jobs. “Indeed, even my folks brought up that I was crying in four out of four jobs!” said Saheefa, snickering at the generalization she had as of not long ago forever been opened into. “I had been sitting tight for something else for quite a while, be it satire or spine chiller.”
Since she has split away from characters with a discouraging plot circular segment, Saheefa surrendered that while her new job includes a modest quantity of crying, she has found it entirely engaging playing Sawera, a free lady who works outside the home and furthermore figures out how to run the house. Disheartened at how free ladies are undeniably discolored with a similar brush, Saheefa commented, “In our general public, on the off chance that a lady is ‘blunt’, assuming that a lady knows how to express her genuine thoughts, she is constantly seen in a negative light.”
Notwithstanding, in Sawera, her new hero, Saheefa tracked down a flash of commonality and solace. “A considerable lot of Sawera’s qualities are very much like mine,” shared the entertainer. “I find her everyday life and her relationship with Hamza so engaging, and one reason I expressed yes to this content was that I just realized I’d have the option to make it happen.”
Getting back in the game after so long, Saheefa was worried about she would shuffle the responsibility, which was the reason she dunked her toes once more into the acting scene with a show that necessary going for just fourteen days. “We just went for 14 days, and we’ll wind up having simply six to eight episodes,” made sense of Saheefa. “I was returning after so lengthy, and I needed to ensure it wouldn’t overpower.”
One thing that overpowers Saheefa is being on set after 9pm, so, all in all, as per her, she is worn out to such an extent that she haphazardly blasts into attacks of snickers, unfit to stop for over thirty minutes. “It’s beyond my control!”
Wild attacks of chuckling aside, Saheefa has gone on record to express that she needs to “accomplish large” throughout everyday life, and guaranteed fans that she is watching out for a greater undertaking soon, however not really for material reasons.
“I would rather not kick the bucket a customary passing,” said the entertainer, repeating an assertion she has made previously. “I need to accomplish large throughout everyday life, except that doesn’t be guaranteed to mean pursuing distinction or cash. How am I going to manage cash and distinction? It’s vital to me how to proceed with it, and I’m chipping away at it. We should perceive how that occurs!”
As a country, Saheefa feels that she and her kindred entertainers and models are held in low regard and frequently pigeonhole across Pakistani society, and fears that there won’t be any change except if the country advances monetarily.
“I won’t fault the business for society’s perspectives,” demanded Saheefa. “This is a little industry comprised of entertainers, models, and powerhouses, and there must be change by they way we are seen when we as a country improve monetarily and socially.”
Having elevated requirements of her own self, Saheefa focused on the equivalent significance of a help structure, yet is persuaded that without that underlying flash of individual desire, no lady can succeed.
“On the off chance that a lady feels she can’t accomplish, then, at that point, she won’t,” she expressed. “No measure of hand-holding is will help you to help yourself. I accept that except if I really need something, I will not have the option to accomplish it.”
One thing that Saheefa certainly realizes she would rather not do is sing expertly.
“Singing?” she asked, laughing at being posed such an inquiry. “Look. There are certain individuals who are washroom artists. I’m not a solitary one of those.”
Regardless of whether she sticks to acting and excuses a profession in music, it will be reviving to see where Saheefa’s vocation will take once the flexible entertainer takes up new scripts projects that expand the extent of acting she so definitely cares about.
