She has a lot of experience in filmmaking and is a director herself. We invited her to our podcast to get her insights on filmmaking in Pakistan. We talked about the differences between traditional filmmaking and creating content for platforms like Instagram and YouTube. We also discussed the various roles in filmmaking, such as directors, scriptwriters, and producers. Additionally, we explored the Pakistani film and drama industry, how it can be changed, and how someone can start acting and progress in their career. We also touched on the chaos going around the world and how traveling can broaden one's perspective.
