Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Your well-acclaimed role of Khirad Ehsan in Momina Duraid’s Humsafar for which you received numerous accolades including Lux Style Awards for Best Television Actress, How was your experience doing the show? Do you believe that this show was a rolling stone in your career?
Ms. Mahira Khan:
I was new in the industry when I did Humsafar. It was my second serial. It was one of the purest experiences of my life. I was not in a good space personally at the time, so for me going to that set was an escape. Also, it was a very heavy role, the central character of the drama. So I needed to give it my all. And all I could give it was honesty. That’s why I think Khirad was raw and hit a chord with the audience. This show was a milestone in my career as well as the industry as a whole for sure, in Pakistan.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have hosted AAG TV’s reality show Weekends with Mahira, where you played music videos spoke to celebrity guests and took phone calls from viewers.5 tricks to being a great host of programs on TV.
