Azra Mansoor lauds Mawra Hocane for a very special reason

Senior Pakistani actress Azra Mansoor has praised actress Mawra Hocane for making prayers a priority during filming.

In a recent interview, Azra addressed misconceptions about actors in showbiz, noting that many people assume that actors aren’t religious. “That’s not true,” she clarified.

“Not all artists are religious, but many in our industry are very close to their faith.”

Reflecting on her experience working with Mawra Hocane and Mohib Mirza on the drama ‘Jafa,’ Mansoor shared, “Both actors would take time to pray during shoots.”

Mansoor expressed her admiration for Hocane in particular, saying, “I was pleased to see Mawra Hocane. When it was prayer time during shoots, she would pray first and then return to filming her scenes.”

She also spoke about her religious practices, saying, “I work during Ramadan and observe fasts, despite some inappropriate comments directed towards actors. We artists are human too, and humans make mistakes. We’re not perfect.”
