Actor Mawra Hocane, who is currently starring in the hit drama Jama Taqseem, has shared details about her role, wedding and whose side she was on in the drama.

 

Appearing on a podcast, Mawra was asked if she was on Team Laila, to which she said “more on Team Laila’s mom”, explaining she loved how blunt the mother was in the drama. 

 

In the joint family drama, which is taking the drama world by storm, Laila’s mother, played by Tazeen Hussain, is a very blunt voice of reason. She warns Laila, played by Mawra, before she marries Qais, played by Talha Chahour, that she needed protection from her in-laws and worried that Laila, the only child of a wealthy couple, would not be able to adjust in a joint family set up like that of Qais.

 

 

Despite being against the marriage, she agrees for her child’s happiness and even though at times you feel that Laila’s mom has not been there for her much, as a working woman, it’s clear that they have a very loving, supportive relationship. We also see her mother’s vulnerability when she retires from her decades-old teaching career and how Laila is there for her. 

 

During the podcast, Mawra went on to explain how the strength that Laila’s mother shows in the drama is what allows Laila to take a stand for herself, adding that she gives credit about her life and her career to her own mother, who was brave during an era when it was very difficult to be brave.

 

“It’s our legacy to take this bravery and resilience forward and that’s what the drama also shows,” Mawra explained.

 

During the conversation, Mawra also talked about her wedding, her movies, dramas and working in the industry for the younger generation.
