What are the challenges you face when selecting roles that empower women in Pakistani dramas?
**Interview with Haba Bukhari: The Golden Touch of Pakistani Television**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Haba. You’ve been termed as the most popular TV actress in Pakistan right now, with hit dramas consistently trending. What do you think contributes to this ‘golden touch’ you have?
**Haba Bukhari:** Thank you for having me! I believe the secret lies in prayers and good intentions. I’ve had my share of ups and downs in the industry, with projects that didn’t materialize. But I stay focused on delivering meaningful content and positive intentions while working, which I think resonates with the audience.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of meaningful content, let’s talk about the roles women portray in dramas. You’ve mentioned passing on projects where the female characters are heavily depicted as victims. What’s your take on this trend?
**Haba Bukhari:** Yes, it’s an issue I’ve been vocal about. I refused several roles that presented women in overly tragic circumstances. Even if those dramas became successful, I felt it wasn’t right to contribute to such narratives. However, I understand that producers are driven by what audiences demand, and there’s a responsibility on viewers as well to advocate for better storytelling.
**Interviewer:** That leads us to audience responsibility. You stated that producers will invest in what’s profitable. How do you think viewers can influence better content in Pakistani dramas?
**Haba Bukhari:** They’re essential! Viewers should voice their preferences. If they want more diverse and empowering stories for women, they need to support shows that provide that. When producers see certain content gaining traction, they might be encouraged to shift their focus.
**Interviewer:** You’ve recently tied the knot with fellow actor Aries after a unique proposal on set. How did that relationship evolve from friendship to marriage?
**Haba Bukhari:** It was quite organic. We met on the sets of ‘Bholi Banu’ and then again during ‘Tarap’. We were friends for a while, but during the shooting of ‘Inthaay Ishq’, Aries asked for my hand in marriage. At first, I thought it was a joke! When it became serious, he spoke to my parents, and the rest is history.
**Interviewer:** It sounds like a beautiful journey! Lastly, what’s next for you? Any upcoming projects we can look forward to?
**Haba Bukhari:** I’m currently evaluating a few scripts. I aim to choose roles that reflect strong, multifaceted women. Fingers crossed, I hope to announce something soon!
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Haba, for sharing your insights with us. We look forward to seeing more of your remarkable work!
**Haba Bukhari:** Thank you so much! It was a pleasure chatting with you.
