Marina Khan is a senior Pakistani television actor and director, recognized for her hit drama serials. She is also praised for her direction, and her recent work as a director received appreciation in Dastak. The actor rose to prominence in the 1980s with her iconic roles in classic PTV dramas such as Tanhaiyaan, Dhoop Kinare, and Nijaat. Her other notable dramas include Dilruba, Aulad, Yahya, Bandish, and Kohar. She is currently judging Pakistani actors’ performances in the TV review show Kya Drama Hai.
Marina Khan recently appeared in Tabish Hashmi’s comedy show Hasna Mana Hai Ramzan special. In the interview, she talked about critiquing classics like Tanhaiyaan and Ankahi on Kya Drama Hai.
Talking about it, Marina Khan said, “It’s very interesting because if you watch Ankahi and Tanhaiyaan, you will notice the language, the humor, the Urdu, acting, and even what they used to wear—it all seems perfect. I don’t know how you see it, but for us, they felt like our family members. Also, I don’t know about flaws, but there must be many if you watch carefully. For example, junior actors sometimes acted poorly, and even I, as a junior, used to overdo laughter at times. It’s an interesting question. I really haven’t thought about how I would critique Ankahi and Tanhaiyaan or other old PTV classics, but it would be interesting to critique them on the show Kya Drama Hai.
