Pakistani actress Sanam Saeed rose to fame after her hit television show ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai’. And now she is eagerly waiting for her upcoming show ‘Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam’, Sanam said: “I am open to working in Indian films, not television. I prefer TV on this side of the border. There are so many genres of films I want to work in, so many actors I would like to collaborate with.”
Sanam Saeed added, “But to start with, Aamir Khan is someone I would like to work with.”
Talking about the popularity of Pakistani content on OTT in India, Sanam Saeed said: “We know how India is, we have watched their films. But they didn’t know how we look and what our lives are like. So it was eye-opening for them. We look the same, eat the same food, we are practically brothers and sisters.”
She added: “They now know that Pakistanis look like us, have the same kind of hair, talk like us, talk a little better in Urdu. OTT platforms have given us that freedom, where the bans and politics are all set aside, and we can reach the Indian audience through our shows and the response has been overwhelming.”
The actress also mentioned that her role in ‘Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam’ is very different from the kind of person she is in real life.
“I don’t get angry very easily in real life. But when I am playing a character, we have to bring in those emotions. The beauty of being an actor is being able to express myself through my characters. I’m not a femme fatale at all in real life, I am a very simple girl, but that’s the role I was playing in this show,” Sanam Saeed said.
She concluded, “Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam’ is a show full of courage, sassiness, and power. It was a delight to work on this show which tells the stories of strong and fearless women who go to any extent to get what they desire.”
