What inspired Haba Bukhari to choose roles that portray strong, multifaceted female characters in Pakistani television dramas?
**Interview with Haba Bukhari: The “Golden Touch” of Pakistani Television**
*Independent Urdu: Thank you for joining us, Haba! Congratulations on your recent marriage to Aries. It must be an exciting time for you both. Can you tell us how your relationship developed?*
**Haba Bukhari:** Thank you! Yes, it’s been a wonderful journey so far. I met Aries on the sets of our drama “Bholi Banu.” Initially, we were just friends, and we got to know each other better while working together on “Tarap.” It wasn’t until the shoot of “Inthaay Ishq” that he proposed to me. Honestly, at first, I thought he was joking, but when he asked to speak to my parents, I realized he was serious!
*IU: It sounds like a beautiful love story! You’ve become one of the most popular actresses in Pakistan, often referred to as having a “golden touch.” What do you believe is the secret to your success?*
**Haba Bukhari:** I’m truly grateful for the love and support from the audience. For me, it’s all about prayers and good intentions. There were projects that didn’t work out for reasons beyond my control, but I believe that remaining true to your values and working hard always pays off.
*IU: You’ve acted in many hit dramas in recent years. How do you choose your roles, particularly regarding the depiction of women in these dramas?*
**Haba Bukhari:** I’ve been selective about roles that depict women in a way that aligns with my beliefs. I turned down roles where women were just crying all the time because I believe in portraying strong, multifaceted characters. But then I see those shows succeed, and I think—what justification do I have to stop a producer when the audience seems to enjoy it?
*IU: That raises an important point about audience preference. You mentioned the issue of women’s oppression in dramas. What are your thoughts on the themes that dominate Pakistani television?*
**Haba Bukhari:** It’s complicated. Producers tend to invest in what they know will bring them profit, so if the audience responds positively to certain themes, they’ll continue producing them. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t good dramas with unique stories that aren’t getting the viewership they deserve. Ultimately, it comes down to supply and demand—viewers need to voice their preferences for change to happen.
*IU: Definitely a thought-provoking view. Lastly, any upcoming projects or roles you’re particularly excited about?*
**Haba Bukhari:** I can’t share too much right now, but I am working on projects that I believe will challenge the traditional narratives present in our dramas. I hope to surprise and engage our audience with meaningful stories. Thank you for having me today!
*IU: Thank you, Haba! We look forward to watching your upcoming work and wish you all the best in your personal and professional journey.*
