Shizza Khan is a young and talented emerging Pakistani artist who began her career as a model in Lahore. Her most notable television appearances include Jo Bichar Gaye, Mein, Tere Bina Mein Nahi, Mera Susral, and others. She was recently praised for her portrayal of an evil house help who had an affair with one of the house ladies’ husbands and eventually married him. Her scenes went viral on social media and sparked a debate.
Shizza Khan recently appeared on Good Morning Pakistan, where she talked about her relationship with Bushra Ansari and her experience playing negative roles in Mein and Sher.
Talking about her relationship with Bushra Ansari, she said,
“I share a great bond with Bushra Ansari ji. I was playing her daughter in Tere Bina Main Nahi, which was also my debut project in Karachi, and Bushra Ansari supported me a lot. I must especially mention this—soon after joining the set in Karachi, I got typhoid, which I couldn’t diagnose at first. I was coughing on set, feeling nauseous, and was very sick, but I didn’t pay much attention to it. My mother belongs to the medical field and takes special care of herself, but I was being careless away from home, working on my new project with full dedication. Bushra Ansari asked me to get myself checked, but I said, ‘Aapa, I’m not getting time—how can I go?’ The very next day, she called a lab to the set, and they did all my tests there. The next morning, I thanked her and asked about the bills. I was worried because, as a newcomer, I couldn’t afford a bill of sixty thousand. But Bushra Ansari said, ‘You are like my child. Your mother isn’t here, and I am like your mother.’” Here is the link to the video:
Talking about playing negative roles, she said,
“I am thankful that I get important roles because I am not yet at the stage where I can choose roles for myself, but yes, I have been lucky to get significant ones. Whenever I play a negative character, they are never entirely negative. When I observe my characters, I always find multiple positive traits in them. However, people often say that I don’t look evil. Once, an aunty came to me and asked, ‘Are you really that negative in real life?’ I replied, ‘What, like having affairs with other ladies’ husbands?’ She got confused after that, but yes, people take it seriously. At that time, I was playing Mein.” Here is the link to the video:
