The audition that changed everything: Resham’s rise to stardom
Resham is a highly talented actress who has ruled the film industry with her charm personality. However, not many are awate of the difficulties she had in her early career.
Recently, Resham appeared as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat,’ where she talked about how she had to face off against Maria Wasti to earn her first main part on PTV.
“I still remember the day I auditioned for my first lead role on PTV. I used to accompany my brother to auditions and had played supporting characters before, but this was my chance to shine. When I arrived at the studios, I saw some big names auditioning for the same role. I saw Maria Wasti there, and she was speaking in perfect English with everyone. At that time, my own Urdu wasn’t as polished, and this made me think I had little chance of getting the role.” Resham narrated.
This role was a turning point in Resham’s career, as she was introduced with her new name (her original name Saima was dropped to avoid confusing her with Saima Khan).
Resham has worked in films like Jeeva, Ghunghat, Pal Do, Sangam, The Legend of Maula Jatt, and Gunjal.
