Pakistani designer and actor Deepak Perwani has revealed that he was offered the role that Faran Tahir now plays in Dar-e-Nijaat.
In an interview with Ambreen Fatima, Perwani spoke about the drama and the director who offered him the role.
“Dar-e-Nijat was an amazing project by Saqib Khan, my director from Qarz-e-Jaan. It was Sheheryar Munawar and Sonia Khan’s first production,” he said.
Perwani then explained why he left the project after agreeing to it. “It was offered to me, and I signed it, but then the bridal, shaadi and fashion season started in October, which overlapped with the shooting schedule. So, I had to drop out, which I later regretted.”
He also spoke about one of his co-stars. “Even Navin Naqvi, who plays Faran’s wife, is a friend of mine, and I wanted to work with her, but in the end, I had to leave it,” he said.
Umera Ahmed wrote Dar-e-Nijaat, and Saqib Khan directed it. The drama airs every Friday and Saturday at 8 pm on ARY Digital. It has gained widespread popularity within and without Pakistan.
The story follows three people from very different worlds. Sheheryar Munawar plays Abu Bakar, Durefishan Saleem plays Zaryab and Nameer Nawaz Khan plays Zamil.
