Why Mariyam Nafees isn’t focused on playing a heroine opposite Hamza Ali Abbasi

Actress and model Mariyam Nafees gave an interview to ‘Independent Urdu’ where she talked about her character Zeenat in ‘Jaan e Jahan’.

“If I wanted to play the lead opposite Hamza Ali Abbasi, I could have. He’s one of the most famous actors in Pakistan. But I don’t care about playing a heroine opposite him because we’ve known each other for years and are more like friends. Being cast as a lead opposite him isn’t a huge priority for me. If it happens, that’s good, but I’m not actively looking for it.”

She also said, “I was initially supposed to play another character in ‘Jaan e Jahan’, but it was later removed from the script. Then, I was offered two more characters, and I chose to play ‘Zeenat’ because she had a huge impact in the drama and her character arc was perfect.”
