SABA QAMAR

I remember I want for a shoot in Tbilisi and my entire Indian crew was allowed to go. But I was stopped because of my Pakistani passport. I was investigated and they took my interview and then they let me go.

Many people said that I shouldn't have worked alongside Noman Habib as it made me look much older.

We often judge people by their cars and the money they have... Sometimes worth is decided based on outer appearances and that's sad.

I am of the belief that acting is a form of blended art that shouldn't be restricted to a particular type or even a country.

I've worked really hard in this industry and feel I've learnt a few things along the way.

I am going to be playing Qandeel Baloch in a biopic. I have cut my hair in order to play her.

I am a fighter. I appeal to all the women in the world. Look around, speak up.

I do a lot of yoga and it's made me positive.

I love and respect the Indian film industry specially Salman Khan is such a huge star and so humble.

When will we regard human beings as human beings? Why do we discuss someone's appearance? And when we can't find faults in appearances, we start targeting their personalities. Why do we consider others beneath us?

I always had the energy to learn new things and achieve more.

In my family, women rarely go out with their heads uncovered, so there was considerable opposition regarding my choice of career.

The Indian audiences have accepted me wholeheartedly. I find that very encouraging.

Everyone has to die someday. I'd rather die after doing something worthwhile.

Television is as much a part of my journey as film.

Oh yes, Irrfan Khan is an amazing actor who is both focused and funny on the set.

I once had to ask Irrfan to stop calling me 'ma'am' because I was his fan before being his co-star and the respect he was giving me was too much to handle.

Have you ever thought how one phrase, one sentence, one troll can ruin someone's entire life? Why do we interfere in their private lives? Think of others as our properties? And say whatever bitterness is in our hearts without thinking twice?

It's very heart wrenching for me to say rest in peace Irrfan.

I am very sweet generally, but if someone tries to be over-smart by speaking to me in fancy English, then I go: 'who are you?' It isn't right.

No one was happy about me entering the entertainment industry because I belong to a Syed family. But I believe no profession is a bad profession, rather it's all about the mindset.

I am not really interested in only showcasing my life or work but plan to produce, write and create work that is solely my vision.

I was never desperate to work in Bollywood though I aspired to do a movie across the border but only if I was offered a strong character and a main lead.

I was a very bad student... I was ahead in many things, but when the time came to study, I just made a face and used to feel bad that I had to study.

I am an actor and I don't have any language barrier. If I get a Tamil film, I will learn the language. It's not a problem.
