What inspired Hiba Bukhari to choose roles that empower women in Pakistani dramas rather than those that reinforce negative stereotypes?
**Interview with Hiba Bukhari: The Golden Touch of Pakistani Television**
*Host:* Welcome, Hiba Bukhari! It’s a pleasure to have you with us today. You’ve become one of the most popular actresses in Pakistan, with your dramas trending on platforms like YouTube. What do you think has been the secret to your success?
*Hiba Bukhari:* Thank you for having me! I believe the key to my success lies in my prayers and commitment to working with good intentions. I’ve been fortunate to work on projects that resonate with audiences, and I think that genuine effort shines through.
*Host:* You recently married fellow actor Aries, whom you met on the sets of ’Bholi Bano.’ Can you share more about how your relationship developed?
*Hiba Bukhari:* Absolutely! We started as friends while working together. It was during the filming of ‘Inthaay Ishq’ that he surprised me by proposing marriage. At first, I thought he was joking! But then I told him to speak to my parents, and things just progressed naturally from there.
*Host:* Your projects have sparked conversation, especially around the portrayal of women in dramas. You’ve mentioned turning down scripts that reinforce negative stereotypes. Can you elaborate on that?
*Hiba Bukhari:* Yes, I have refused many roles where women’s characters were only seen crying or suffering. While those dramas still find success, I have to consider my own values and the messages I want to send. I believe it’s important for us to show strong, empowered women on screen, but producers also tend to create what they think will sell.
*Host:* That leads to an interesting point about audience demand. What do you think drives the popularity of certain themes in Pakistani dramas?
*Hiba Bukhari:* It’s a supply-and-demand cycle. Producers often spend on stories they believe the audience wants to see, even if those stories reinforce stereotypes. There are countless well-made dramas that don’t get the viewership they deserve simply because they don’t fit the prevalent trends. It’s crucial for viewers to support meaningful content.
*Host:* looking back at your career highlights, which role has been the most memorable for you?
*Hiba Bukhari:* Every role teaches me something new, but my portrayal of Dilnashin in ‘Fatoo’ stands out. It was a challenging role that allowed me to showcase a more nuanced character, and the positive feedback from viewers was incredibly rewarding.
*Host:* Thank you, Hiba, for sharing your insights and experiences with us. We look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
*Hiba Bukhari:* Thank you! It’s been a pleasure discussing these topics with you. I hope to continue bringing quality work to our beloved viewers.
