How do you believe your approach to selecting roles has shaped the landscape of female representation in Pakistani dramas?
**Interview with Hiba Bukhari: The Star with a Golden Touch**
**Interviewer:** Hiba, thank you for joining us today! You’ve been making waves in the Pakistani television industry recently, with your dramas consistently trending on platforms like YouTube. What do you think is behind this incredible success?
**Hiba Bukhari:** Thank you for having me! I believe that success stems from a combination of hard work and the prayers of my fans and family. I always strive to work with good intentions, and I think that resonates through my performances. It’s truly humbling to see the audience’s love for my projects like “Fitoo” and “Inteha e Ishq.”
**Interviewer:** Fascinating! Earlier this year, you tied the knot with fellow actor Aries. How did that romance blossom?
**Hiba Bukhari:** Yes, it was quite a beautiful journey! We first met on the set of “Bholi Banu,” but it was on the set of “Tarap” where our friendship really grew. The proposal came unexpectedly during the filming of “Inteha e Ishq.” At first, I thought he was joking! But after we talked, I realized he was serious. The rest is history—we involved our families, and everything fell into place.
**Interviewer:** That’s such a sweet story. You’ve talked about turning down roles that portray women in a negative light. What influences your choices in the characters you take on?
**Hiba Bukhari:** I really believe in choosing roles that empower women rather than ones that depict them suffering endlessly. It’s important for us as actors to reflect on what narratives we’re promoting. While I have opted out of many dramas where I felt the female characters were overly victimized, I understand producers are often responding to audience demand. It’s a complex situation, and I advocate for a balance between entertainment and positive representation.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of the audience, you mentioned that ratings are influenced by what viewers want to see. How do you think this affects the kind of stories being told on Pakistani television?
**Hiba Bukhari:** Absolutely! The market reacts to what viewers find entertaining, and unfortunately, some narratives that may not be the most progressive seem to draw bigger audiences. However, there are many commendable dramas that deserve more recognition but struggle to find an audience. It’s essential for us to engage with the audience constructively and encourage them to demand better storytelling.
**Interviewer:** Before we wrap up, could you share your thoughts on the future of Pakistani dramas?
**Hiba Bukhari:** I’m optimistic! The industry is evolving, and with it, the stories we tell. I hope to see more diverse and nuanced portrayals of women and strong narratives that challenge the norm. With the love and support of our viewers, I believe we can achieve that together.
**Interviewer:** Hiba, it’s been a pleasure talking to you. We appreciate your insights and wish you continued success in your career!
**Hiba Bukhari:** Thank you so much! I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts.
