What inspired Haba Bukhari to choose roles that go beyond the traditional portrayal of women in Pakistani dramas?
**Interview with Haba Bukhari: The Golden Touch of Pakistani Television**
**Interviewer:** Haba, thank you for joining us today. You’ve become a household name and are often referred to as the “golden touch” of television lately. What do you think is behind this immense popularity?
**Haba Bukhari:** Thank you for having me! I believe a lot of it comes down to prayers and good intentions. I’ve always tried to approach my work with sincerity, and I think that resonates with the audience. I’ve been fortunate to be part of projects that really clicked with viewers.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of projects, your dramas have topped YouTube trends. Can you share a bit about your journey in the industry?
**Haba Bukhari:** It’s been an incredible journey. I initially met my husband, Aries, on the set of ‘Bholi Banu,’ and our friendship blossomed on ‘Tarap.’ It was during ‘Inthaay Ishq’ that he proposed. At first, I thought it was a joke! But once it was all serious, things moved quickly with our families involved. My personal life and professional life often intersect in unexpected ways!
**Interviewer:** And now that you’re married, do you feel any difference in your approach to acting or the roles you choose?
**Haba Bukhari:** I’m grateful for my journey and I still stick to my principles. For instance, I’ve turned down roles where women’s stories revolve solely around suffering, as I believe there’s so much more to portray. However, I understand the industry; if a certain narrative sells, producers are inclined to continue with it.
**Interviewer:** That raises an interesting point about the portrayal of women in dramas. You’ve mentioned the constant oppression depicted in many shows. What do you think can be done to change this?
**Haba Bukhari:** It’s all about audience preferences. Producers follow the money, and they invest in content that garners attention—even if it’s problematic. If viewers want change, they need to make it known through their actions. There are brilliant dramas that don’t get the spotlight simply because they don’t cater to the dominant tastes.
**Interviewer:** what advice would you give aspiring actresses in Pakistan today?
**Haba Bukhari:** Stay true to your values and choose roles that inspire you! The landscape is ever-changing, and while success is important, representation and authenticity are what endure in the long term. And of course, never underestimate the power of prayer and positive intentions in your journey.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Haba! We look forward to seeing more of your incredible work in the future.
**Haba Bukhari:** Thank you so much! It was great to chat.
