For the longest time, one of the older family members used to accompany her on the sets.
Did her graduation privately
Since Neelam Muneer stepped into the world of showbiz while she was still studying, continuing with her studies was not easy. Until she was going to school, she was the perfect student.

According to her, she loves her work which has been her focus of attention for all these years. Neelam Muneer says that she does not believe in love at first sight at all.

Neelam Muneer shared that if she ever writes a book it will be about people in general and about life. Neelam Muneer thinks that there is so much to learn from life.

And one of my party members made fun of me that this is the reason you’re going to that show. That wasn’t the reason I was Minister of Youth Affairs at that time. In that show, we hardly greeted each other. In fact pictures from that show are also there and one of our friends also make fun of us that we were sitting in attitude and didn’t talk to each other” said Faisal Sabzwari

Humayun Saeed has been around for decades and there is no denying the fact that he has made a big name for himself. He isn’t only an ace performer on screen but he is also a really talented and intelligent producer who is heading not one but two leading production houses in the country. Humayun Saeed recently got unprecedented appreciation and love for his performance in hit drama serial Mere Pass Tum Ho. Humayun Saeed himself mentioned in an interview that the love he got from the people has proved to him that people still want to see him on-screen even after all these years of watching so many different performances from him. Humayun Saeed has vast experience in both acting and production both. After keeping himself away from giving too many interviews in all these years, now more than ever Humayun Saeed is seen giving interviews on different forums. These interviews allow the viewers to understand Humayun Saeed’s thought process in different ways. Humayun Saeed’s interviews are always very casual and he never holds back.
This will probably come as a shock to many but the man who rules the big and small screen whenever he is part of any project is actually a really shy person. Humayun Saeed revealed in an interview that he was a really shy kid and even now he has that trait in his personality. This means that Humayun Saeed’s on screen persona is in complete contrast with his off screen personality.
Humayun Saeed started acting by chance
Humayun Saeed is not one of those actors who always dreamed of becoming performers. He started his career as general manager at a garment factory where he was spotted by someone and was asked to do modeling. Humayun Saeed decided to take up that offer but he could never have imagined that something he opted for fun would change his whole life. After his first modeling shoot, he got many offers for acting and that is when he decided that he loved performing in front of the camera. There was no looking back after that.
He met his wife at a friend’s place
Humayun Saeed’s wife Samina Humayun has been his greatest support in all these years. Humayun Saeed met Samina at a friend’s place for the first time. Humayun Saeed had already started his first production with a partner. Samina Humayun warned him against that partner. This care and concern for him was what attracted him. Humayun Saeed still says that she is a really caring woman and she is also better at managing things than he is.
Humayun Saeed’s wife did not want him to act
At first Samina Humayun was not comfortable with Humayun Saeed working in dramas. She felt jealous and was afraid that the other girls who were working with Humayun might not be professional. However, Humayun Saeed was lucky enough to work with some of the most educated and polished actresses at the beginning of his career and when his wife became friends with his co-stars she was more comfortable with his acting career. She realized that there were good people in this business as well and let Humayun pursue his acting career.
Humayun is against cosmetic procedures
Nowadays, many actors turn to cosmetic procedures in order to look young and appealing. Humayun Saeed is not one of those actors. In several interviews he made it very clear that he would never get such procedures done. The reason for this is that he won’t put himself in pain to look better. Also, he is scared that the result might turn out to be a disaster. So he would much rather rely on a good diet and exercise to look good than cosmetic procedures.
Acting is his first love
Although Humayun Saeed’s production house has produced some of the best dramas of Pakistan and he takes his work as a producer really seriously but for him acting comes before everything else. He enjoys the feeling of being incharge of dramas and shaping them up but he enjoys performing on the screen even more.
Humayun Saeed is a foodie
Humayun Saeed looks lean and handsome most of the time and it’s not because he finds it easy to eat smart and workout but it’s because he puts in a lot of effort into staying away from the foods he loves. Humayun Saeed is a foodie who loves eating high calorie desi dishes like nihari and biryani. That is why sometimes he puts on that extra weight.
Humayun Saeed has tons of patience
When asked in a recent interview which personality trait did he have in common with Danish (his character in Mere Pass Tum Ho), Humayun Saeed replied that he too was extremely patient. His colleagues often praise him for his cool minded personality.
His flaws motivate him
Humayun Saeed is always striving to be the best. The reason for this is that he can always see where his flaws lie and these flaws motivate him to be better. Humayun Saeed shared in an interview that whenever he gains weight, that is incentive for him to look more smart than ever. Similarly, whenever he feels he did not give his best performance, he tries to improve those shortcomings in the next project. He sees his flaws as a source of motivation that allows him to grow as an individual and a performer.
Humayun Saeed is a humanitarian
Humayun Saeed is not one of those celebrities who openly donate or show their humanitarian work. Very few people know that he has contributed a great deal to Shaukat Khanum and Shahid Afridi’s charity projects. He also engages himself in other humanitarian activities but keeps it all a secret.
Humayun Saeed continues to win people’s hearts even after all these decades. He isn’t just a phenomenal actor but he is also a wonderful person. Perhaps this is the reason why he has managed to come this far.
There is no dearth of talent in the Pakistani drama industry but it is also true that there are many lead actors in our drama industry who have managed to make it far even though their acting skills are not polished. Many of these actors learned acting through the acting projects they got and surely even the best of directors could not teach them the tricks of the trade. The fact is that acting is a mix of natural talent combined with a lot of hard work.
Many actors have worked for years to perfect their dialogue delivery; others have perfected their craft by adding variation to their acting skills. There are some actors who are new but even then their acting skills are great, there are others who are acting for years yet even now they miserably fail in doing justice to their roles. These actors have worked on the big and the small screen in leading roles yet their performances almost always leave a lot to be desired. Some of them are actors because they have the finances, others have contacts and then there are those who have good looks. They are definitely not the kind of actors who should be getting the type of leading roles they get because there are so many other gifted actors in the industry who can play these roles better.
Even though these Pakistani actors have a lot of experience and even a massive fan following but their acting skills are definitely not up to the mark. Here are some of those heroes and heroines of the Pakistani drama industry who need to take acting lessons!
[lwptoc]
Armeena Rana Khan
Armeena Rana Khan is an ‘experienced’ actress who has worked in films and dramas in Pakistan, she has even worked in international projects but even then she doesn’t have the acting skills required to add the kind of depth and nuances needed to make a character meaningful, The only time Armeena Rana Khan suited a character was when she played the lead in Mohabbat Ab Nahi Hogi perhaps because the character was too plain and simple. Other than that her performances are the same irrespective of the character she is playing. She fails to mold herself to suit the requirements of the characters she is assigned to play therefore her overall approach towards all her portrayals is similar. In her latest drama serial Mohabbatein Chahatein, she has yet again failed to bring out the negative element of her character and has made the character even more annoying!
Adeel Chaudhry
Adeel Chaudhry is another actor who has worked in Bollywood, Lollywood, and has recently worked in some of the most popular dramas on Geo Entertainment. His dialogue delivery and expressions both are ‘limited’ irrespective of the intensity of the situation that is being shown in a drama. The botox treatments he got done on his face definitely add to these limitations. He doesn’t have a single memorable role to his credit and even if he is playing the lead in a drama, he is always the most unimpressive performer. The main reason why Adeel Chaudhry still has not perfected the art of performing is that he underplays all the characters he plays. Even though he is really ‘passionate’ about acting, he lacks the talent for it.
Emaad Irfani
Emaad Irfani has played some of the most talked-about roles in the recent past, both positive and negative yet it would be safe to say that Emaad Irfani is definitely not the best actor in the industry. His dialogue delivery is plain, he cannot give the right expressions and he especially fails when he has to show anger or regret. He can only do well in a role that is ‘all good’ and that too only when it is extremely likable and the actor himself does not have to do a lot to add to it. Emaad Irfani has a few expressions which he makes the most of and he manages to get all these leading roles mostly due to his good looks. He probably knows that which is why he looks suave in all his dramas. He has definitely been really lucky!
Agha Mustafa Hassan
Agha Mustafa Hassan is a relatively new actor when compared to the other actors on the list. He is however one of those actors who have bagged many big projects in a short span of time and has worked with the best directors. His short appearance in Ek Thi Marium made the viewers look forward to his upcoming projects but with every project, his performance was more disappointing than ever. If some of the other actors underplay their characters, Agha Mustafa Hassan always goes overboard especially when he has to express anger on screen. His dialogue delivery is forced most of the time which makes it really difficult for the viewer to relate to his characters.
Areeba Habib
Areeba Habib recently played a central character in Jalan and unfortunately, her performance was just as plain as her character. There were so many intense scenes in Jalan but in all these scenes Areeba’s performance was not up to the mark. She is another actress who cannot give the right expressions because of the cosmetic treatment she got done on her face. Other than that usually her timing is not right and it seems like she relies on the director’s cues so much that all her ‘intense’ scenes appear to be more staged than realistic.
Asad Siddiqui
Asad Siddiqui’s monotonous and underwhelming performances make him one of the most mediocre actors in the industry. Even after acting in so many dramas, he doesn’t have a single memorable performance to his credit. It is almost as if he is quite content with the status he enjoys in the industry and does not even endeavor to do better. I guess we all understand how he got in the industry and why he continues to get such good projects despite of his poor acting skills.
Sanam Jung
Sanam Jung has only been part of a few dramas but all of them have been mega projects with a star cast. Although she played leading roles in all the projects she starred in, there wasn’t a single performance that left its mark. Sanam Jung was always an unimpressive performer but now that she is back after taking a break, her performances have been even worse. In Mein Na Janoo she overdid the becharapan and now in her new drama Qarar, she is trying too hard to appear bubbly and carefree. Sanam Jung fails to give subtle and balanced performances, she always focuses on one aspect of her character and ends up making it unappealing and even annoying. She is definitely one of those actors who fail because they try too hard.
Momal Sheikh
Momal Sheikh is another actor who has a long list of dramas to her credit and she has even worked in Bollywood yet even all this on-screen experience has not in any way polished Momal’s acting skills. She especially has a difficult time delivering her dialogues, most of the time her dialogue delivery is painfully slow perhaps because she finds it difficult to recall the dialogues. The fact that she has been playing more or less the same roles is another reason why even with all this exposure her acting skills have been unimpressive.
Zara Noor Abbas
The only time Zara Noor Abbas’s performance gelled in with the character she played was in Ehd-e-Wafa. The reason for this was that the character she played was over-the-top. Otherwise, Zara’s dialogue delivery and acting remind us of the heroines from those old classic films who were required to be overdramatic. Whether she is playing a simple character or a modern one, Zara Noor Abbas’s accent and tone never change. Zara shared that she ‘experimented’ when she chose to be overdramatic in Zebaish but the fact is that Zara Noor Abbas has always been overdramatic no matter what kind of role she is playing. Her performances have never been natural or spontaneous. She belongs to a family with some of the best actresses in the industry yet she has not been able to change her acting style. Right now in the drama serial Phaans, she is playing another leading character, the character she is playing has a lot going for it but Zara Noor Abbas has completely failed to change her tone and dialogue delivery to meet the requirements of her role. Just like every other project, her acting is ‘off’ and does not have an impact.
Agha Ali
Agha Ali is another actor who got a lot of opportunities to prove himself yet except for his role and performance in Tum Yaad Aye all of his performances have been average and unimpressive. The fact that Agha Ali is extremely conscious about his looks reflects in his controlled and limited expressions on screen. He is constantly trying hard to look good even when he is playing the most negative characters on screen which definitely impacts his performances. It is definitely surprising that he managed to make it this far with such mediocre acting skills but then that is also the reason why he is not listed among A-list actors.
Shehroz Sabzwari
Shehroz Sabzwari has been associated with the field of acting for such a long time yet his acting skills leave a lot to be desired. The only time he was likable in a role was in Mana Ka Gharana and that was also because of the way the character had been written. It did not have a big margin for performance and therefore was an easy role to play. Other than that, Shehroz Sabzwari’s performance in every drama is more or less the same. Because of this monotonous acting, the producers now offer him roles that do not require any changes in his style of acting. He completely fails in scenes that require intensity because his range as an actor is limited to playing simple roles and translate only some emotions on screen.
Anmol Baloch
Anmol Baloch continues to get leading roles even though her acting skills are as limited as they get! Right now, she is playing another leading role in the drama serial Khwaab Nagar Ki Shehzadi and when compared to many other actresses who have played similar roles, Anmol Baloch falls short to a great extent! Just like all the other actors on this list, Anmol Baloch has limited expressions and she is also so self-conscious that her acting is never natural. There is more focus on looking good and making the most of the few expressions she feels confident delivering than meeting the requirements of the role. Drama serial Khwaab Nagar Ki Shehzadi is a copy of ARY’s Waada, Saboor Aly however played her role much better than the treatment Anmol has given her character.
Mashal Khan
It is surprising and rather unbelievable that Mashal Khan got to play so many leading roles after giving an unimpressive performance in Suno Chanda. Mashal Khan is one of those actresses who do a great job of sobbing with their rosy nose and cheeks, other than that, she fails miserably at bringing out the different shades of her character. That is the reason why even when she plays different kinds of roles, her acting is always the same. She is not the kind of actress who can add something new to the role they are assigned, she barely does justice to the basic personality traits of the characters she plays. Also, her look in every drama is the same!
Naveen Waqar
It is a mystery how Naveen Waqar managed to stay in the industry for so long. She has the same confused expressions in every single scene; too many of them. In her recent drama, Chalawa Naveen Waqar is playing the role of a mother but even then sometimes she is more expressive than needed. Her performances are not natural even after so much experience.
Mikaal Zulfiqar
It would be safe to say that Mikaal Zulfiqar is really comfortable playing the flawed husband because that is all he is assigned to do over and over again! Even after playing this role repeatedly, he has never been able to give any of these characters the edge they needed in order to be more interesting. The only time Mikaal Zulfiqar played a relatively different role was in the drama serial Alif Allah Aur Insaan but if his acting was to be judged neutrally in that drama, it was nothing more than average. Mikaal’s dialogue delivery remains the same no matter which drama he is a part of and the viewers are all too familiar with his ‘loser husband’ expressions. Mikaal Zulfiqar is another actor who has managed to make it this big because of his good looks.
Do you think there are any other actors in the industry who need acting lessons and whose performances have not been up to the mark? Share your views.
Mikaal Zulfiqar can be called the most handsome hunk of Pakistani showbiz industry because of his looks. He has got these looks from his English Mom. Well beside looks Mikaal is undoubtedly a gifted actor with countless stellar performances like Pani Jesa Pyar, Diyar – e -Dil, Sang -e- Mar Mar, Alif Allah Aur Insan and Khasara.
His drama Ruswai also grabbed a lot of praise and accomplishment. His drama Khuwab Nagar ki Shehzadi is also on air now a days.
Recently , he came in to Ary Digital’s show Good Morning Pakistan.
Talking about his relationship status Nida asked , ” We have seen men, they get single and in the next few days they start a new relationship”
Nida kept on asking, ” Are you still single, you are famous, no one ever approached you?
To her question Mikaal replied, ” It’s not that no one ever approached me , may be someone did but I haven’t been ready for a new relationship ”
Mikaal also said, ” I am not interested right now, I have other priorities. I have my kids and I have been indulged into multiple businesses, when time will come, it will happen and it will not be a random but thoughtful decision ”
Nida kept on emphasizing importance of relationship but Mikaal ignored it with smile. It seems that he has no plan of getting married soon.

“I think social media has trolls and when it comes to trolling as Sadaf and Shahroz got married I felt so bad that it is someone’s happy moment. People can’t see that they have got married so they must leave them now” Mathira added further.

Banned and censored in its home country, Sarmad Khoosat’s “Zindagi Tamasha” is making waves globally. The project, which has bagged several international accolades, became the latest recipient of the Best Film and Best Actor awards at the Asian World Film Festival. The event, held virtually on March 15, witnessed the inclusion of 40 films from over 20 participating countries, all of which were showcased during the six-day extravaganza. Films included 11 Oscar submissions for Best International Feature Film and 12 Golden Globe submissions for Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language.
Zindagi Tamasha, the Oscar submission from Pakistan, took the Snow Leopard Award for Best Film. Director Sarmad Khoosat received the award from Jury member Luba Balagova Kandoor, stated a press release. The Snow Leopard Award for Best Actor went to Arif Hassan for his performance in Zindagi Tamasha.
“I am overwhelmed by the recognition this film of ours has received internationally,” Hassan said while accepting his award. “I am extremely grateful to our director Sarmad Khoosat whose dedication to the film was unparalleled. It’s about time we start telling stories that are unique to the Asian culture. There are so many stories that remain untold by the mainstream media.”
‘Zindagi Tamasha’ will represent all of us, our ‘Pakistan’ at the Oscars, says Sarmad Khoosat. Sarmad was extremely grateful for the honour too. “Winning two awards at the festival has given me and my team the right kind of morale boost and the emotional boost as well,” the filmmaker shared, upon receiving the prize for Best Film. “It has been a tumultuous journey with this film. Not being able to show it here in my own home country, it got banned. But finding this new audience for the film has made me believe more and more in the power of cinema,” he concluded.
The story of the upcoming drama serial Shehnai is going to revolve around a couple of Meerab and Bakht, who will be forced to get engaged. The story, drama, and fun will begin when they both will try to find a way to call this engagement off only because they both are already in love with someone else and then the ensemble cast and numerous characters will play their part in making it quite eventful. The plot of the drama definitely seems refreshing because of the way it has been executed. What added more to the hype was the happening OST that was released as an initial teaser which allowed the audience to see that Shehnai was going to be a feel-good drama.
The overall vibe of Shehnai is fun and happening but the writer is definitely going to add a lot of such moments that will revolve around pain, sadness, and heartbreak. It surely is going to be an interesting journey to watch and after a drama like Khudparast, Radain Shah definitely has set the bar high. Another interesting aspect of Shehnai is the fresh pairing of Ramsha Khan and Affan Waheed, they both are popular and it will be interesting to see what they have to offer to their fans and the drama viewers who will be tuning to Shehnai.

Hania Aamir has always stepped forward to give her thoughts on the hate she’s received for her filtered conversation on colour and its associations with beauty. Hania previously claimed that “For those wanting to write on skin positivity and framing my words rather differently, I’ve been coming bare face on social media displaying my textured skin, pimples for the past two years and that’s what you should be writing about, not utilizing the opportunity to target someone and become a carpetbagger.”
Recently Hania took to her Instagram account and shared a video for her followers regarding the use of filters.
“You guy’s just have to stop now. It’s 2021 and now filters are a part of our lives and everyone needs to be okay now with a fact that people are using filters on their faces. I’m using a filter right now, I actually don’t look like this in real”, says Hania.

[lwptoc]
Sarah Khan Was Born In Madina, Saudi Arabia
Sarah Khan’s father Zafar Khan was settled in Saudi Arabia where he used to work in the press. His job revolved around printing The Holy Quran in 70 different languages. That is where he met Sarah Khan’s mother and proposed marriage to her. The two got married and had 4 children, Hamza, Ayesha, Sarah, and Noor in Madina. When Sarah Khan was around 10 years of age, her parents along with their children moved to Karachi, Pakistan.
She is Half-Lebanese
Sarah Khan has told that her mother was Lebanese by origin. She was 14 years of age when she got married to Sarah Khan’s father. Sarah Khan can be termed as half Pakistani and half Lebanese. She states that because of her mother’s young age, she was more like their sister and used to be part of Sarah and her siblings’ fun activities. Sarah Khan regrets not learning Arabic from her mother because by the time they moved to Karachi, her mother was also pretty fluent in Urdu, therefore she never really felt the need to speak Arabic with her children. She has however mentioned that her parents used to communicate with each other in Arabic.
It Took Her Two Years To Decide She Wanted To Act
Sarah Khan states she was always inclined towards arts but after doing her debut drama with Hum TV titled Bari Apa, she decided to take a two-year break. During that time period she contemplated and thought a lot about what she actually wanted to do. She wanted to be a fashion designer at one point in her life but it was her father who guided her and asked her what she was passionate about. After returning to her work, she realized this actually was her passion and she enjoyed acting more than anything and since then, she has never looked back.
She Believes In Gender Equality & Does Not Identify Herself As A Feminist
Sarah Khan is one of those few celebrities who don’t shy away from stating what their beliefs are. She believes in gender equality and feels women already have a higher status. She feels there are certain roles that are fit for both men and women therefore everyone should be focused on what they are required to do instead of competing against each other.
Sarah Khan Always Carries Holy Quran & Its Tafseer With Her
Sarah Khan states that she is very spiritual and more than that, she is keen to learn more about the religion of Islam. This is the reason why she carries Quran Majeed’s Tafseer with her and in between the shoots when she gets some time, she utilizes it to learn and understand it more and more. Sarah Khan feels she has become a lot more patient after studying the Noble Quran and also is content about the fact that she is regular with her obligatory prayers.
Sarah Khan Is A Cat’s Person
Sarah states that her husband Falak Shabbir gifted her a little kitten that she has grown fond of and she loves taking care of it. Every time she is traveling, she misses her pet a lot and wants it to be around her all the time.

She feels she owes the Pakistani industry a lot and this would be her way of paying it back to what the industry has given to her all these years.
Sarah Khan Is Against Item Songs
She is one of those few actresses who do not agree with item numbers. She is against the notion of such songs because she feels a woman has to wear a certain types of clothes, give certain expressions, and dance a certain way to prove that she has some worth. Sarah feels that for a movie to work and do good business, the item number is not a necessity. She further stated that script, direction, and acting is what makes or breaks a film. Sarah Khan raised a point that women are above and beyond the kind of image item numbers tend to portray and this is something that she does not agree with.
She Wants Her Characters To Portray What She Believes In
Sarah Khan is not only passionate about acting, but she is also passionate about the kind of work she does. This is exactly the reason why she has openly stated that she doesn’t like her project Mere Bewafa because it portrayed things she personally does not believe in. She feels her work has to have some kind of substance and quality and before anything else, it has to be something she can resonate with. This is the reason Meeral happens to be her favorite character. Sarah stated that ignoring the negative traits of Meeral’s character what she liked the most about her was that she was a strong and independent woman who knew she’ll have to face the consequences of her own actions.
Sarah Khan is quite a foodie. As much as she enjoys dine-outs with her family and husband, she also states that she is a fan of cooking and baking. She enjoys it and this is the reason she has always prepared her own food to take with her during the shoots. She feels it was a fun activity that she and her sisters used to do before her marriage.
Sarah Khan Was a Part of Music Band Named ‘Beautiful Deadly’ In Her College
She was always fond of singing and enjoyed that a lot as well. This is why she along with her sister and two friends decided to form a music band where she was a vocalist. She has stated that she and her band members had a lot of a great times during college days because they used to charge people for performing during different functions and occasions. At one point in her life, she thought of pursuing music as a career too.
She Feels Her Shyness Is Often Misunderstood As Rudeness
Sarah Khan is reserved by nature. She only likes to communicate and talk with people after she becomes comfortable around them. Most of the time, she likes to observe silently and is not an ice-breaker. She feels this trait of her has made people misunderstand her shyness as rudeness. She is shy by nature and takes time to open up.
Sarah Khan Believes In Wearing Modest Clothes
She states she has set certain rules and limitations for herself. Part of it comes from the kind of family she belongs to the and family values she holds. Sarah doesn’t really judge others for their choice of clothing but when it comes to her, she has decided she will never give up on modest clothing. Sarah Khan has stated this is another reason why she has not signed a film yet because modest clothing is never a requirement of the kind of films she has been offered. This is something she is never going to compromise upon. This gives her fans hope that there are celebrities like Sarah Khan who still get to do the work they love without having to bend the rules they have set for themselves.
She Feels After Marriage She Does Her Work Freely
Sarah Khan was all praises for her husband Falak Shabir when she stated that after marriage she feels she gets to be more focused on her work. It is because her husband is always motivating her to do her best and take up the work she likes to do. Sarah Khan feels lucky to have found a partner like Falak Shabir who doesn’t believe in getting in a way of his wife’s passions and dreams.
Sarah Khan Doesn’t Enjoy Modelling
She feels modeling is not for her. She finds it boring because she feels there is nothing much to do and you have to sport a single expression the entire day. This is exactly why she enjoys acting a lot more because she gets to experience and portrays so many emotions in front of the camera throughout the day. Although she has been a face of many fashion label campaigns even this is the kind of work she doesn’t really enjoy.
Sarah Khan Is Very Domesticated
This must come as a surprise considering the amount of work she does and how busy she is but Sarah takes pride in the fact that she is very domesticated and loves everything that goes to run a house. She even stated that people may think the otherwise but that is definitely not the case when it comes to her because no matter what sort of household chore it is, she enjoys doing it. She has always dreamt of having her own house where she can take charge of everything and run things her way and now after marriage, she gets to do that even more.
Working and having financial freedom gives Sarah Khan a margin to shop to her hearts’ content. She is not much of a spendthrift but when it comes to stuff like shoes, watches, and makeup she really has a hard time controlling herself. This is the kind of retail therapy she enjoys and feels because she likes to get ready and look her absolute best all the time, she gets drawn to buying these things and expanding her collection.
Sarah Khan Knows How To Balance Professional & Personal Life
At such a young age, it is yet another interesting fact about her that she has cracked the code of perfect balance. Sarah Khan loves her work but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t give much time to her family or husband and people in her personal life.

Sarah Khan is also great at time management. She is quite punctual and says this is something that she has learned from her father. Irrespective of her star status as a celebrity, she easily manages to be on time and feels discipline is a part of her profession.
Her Mother’s Death Taught Her That Life Is Temporary
Sarah Khan lost her mother as a young age. Her mother was around 39 years of age when she passed away. She feels her mother is with her everywhere she is and this is why she strives to work hard and do even better to be able to show her mother that her daughter is exactly how she wanted to see her – strong and confident. However, she also feels that losing her mother taught some grave lessons in life, although she realized that her mother was a better place but the very first thought that came to her mind was the temporary nature of this life. She has taken this as a learning curve and strives to improve herself as a person, she wants to do good so that she can save herself in the Hereafter.
