Ismat Zaidi, a seasoned actress in the drama industry, has contributed to numerous remarkable projects throughout her extensive career. Even today, she continues to excel in her roles in various dramas. As a guest on Ghazal Siddique’s podcast, she highlighted essential changes required within the industry to foster a more positive environment.
She said, “There should be a criteria for what an artist with so much experience deserves. Many times, the production is paying so much money to an actor who may have started two years ago and ignore the rights of senior artists. I have had these bad experiences in the productions of actors who should have known better.”
Ismat also shared details about bad experiences with new directors. “There was one director who misbehaved and insulted me in front of everyone. I was extremely disappointed,” she lamented.
She stressed the significance of mutual respect and kindness in the workplace, urging directors to treat artists with dignity and empathy.
