Talking about casting Sabeena Farooq, Sultana Siddiqui said, “she is amazing and she got the chance, again, she is director’s pick who knows his work well. He wanted a serious girl who is interested in craft and not in the makeup or looks. When he referred Sabeena Farooq, I had questions in my mind regarding Sabeena but Kashif made me believe that Sabeena will do perfectly well. Initially, I thought she would look older but then we thought about it, because we needed a married girl and she was perfect for that. Sabeena Farooq is an artist, she is focused on craft, not on looks and I am so happy with the outcome of the serial”.
Talking about unfulfilled wishes, she said, “I often wonder why I am doing all of these projects. I am in a hurry to do my wish list because I think that I have very little time remaining, so, in that hurry I want to cover all the topics which bother me, especially which are harming our society and no one has the courage to talk on that. Earlier, I discussed it with Mehreen Jabbar, I told her that I want to do all these dramas before I go. Besides this, I want the youner lot to learn about the technical things like we used to know as producers, we were literally taught each and everything in PTV. I want the technical team to be super efficient in their work”
Talking about death, she said, “yes, I think about death and I am not afraid of it because I am at a certain age where I have to be prepared for death. I am not afraid of death, I told Duraid and my children not to cry when I die and Duraid instantly said, ‘Why? I will cry’, I urged my kids to remember me in good words, talk about my successful things after I leave this world. For me acceptance of the expected events is normal. I do think on these lines”.
