Hania Ahmed is an emerging Pakistani actress who has been working in the entertainment industry since the age of 10. She has appeared in multiple commercials and dramas, including Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum. Nowadays, she is garnering praise for her role as Shafaq in Jamaa Taqseem. Hania is currently an O-Level student and aspires to become an engineer.
Recently, Hania Ahmed appeared in an interview with Fuchsia Magazine, where she shared interesting insights about Jamaa Taqseem and opened up about the joint family system and her relationship with her parents.
Talking about the inspiration behind her role in Jamaa Taqseem, she said, “For Jamaa Taqseem, my mother suggested that I should watch Saba Qamar’s iconic character in Maat. I watched it in a day and observed her expressions. I took references from there, reached the set but it’s always different way of working on the sets so I tried to follow my director’s vision and instructions. I also took inspiration from Madiha Rizvi, who is playing my mother.”
Speaking about the joint family system, Hania Ahmed shared, “We live in a joint family. I live with my grandmother, while the rest of the family members live separately — for example, my uncle (Taya) has his own place. I’m comfortable with both joint and separate family systems; I can easily adjust to either. In a joint family, we have so many activities and enjoy gossiping with the members, so both setups are fine for me. My family has no strict restrictions — we’re very friendly. My grandmother is really chill, and even my maternal grandparents are very friendly.”
Discussing the communication gap between parents and children, Hania said, “I think there is a huge communication gap between parents and children, but I don’t have that gap with my parents. Generally, parents are quite strict with their kids. They want things done according to their own demands and often don’t give enough space to their children, becoming hyper or angry instead. Parents should try to understand their children and spend time with them so that they can express themselves freely. They should be friendly and supportive.”
She further added, “Mothers should give space to their children and also understand their perspective like parents often ask children to share their personal things with them, but when they do, parents start shouting.” Here is the link to the video
