At that time I lived with my mother more than I did


so I'm not going to call Azlan so much but mom is just like Literally, Jiya, I have been in meetings. where mom was like i'm like, mom i'm in a meeting and she's like yes, but I just need to tell you that Nasreen I'm like, mom, mom! You have to hand up! It's so cute! She doesn't understand! This is so lovely! Do you know how special that is? Oh, it is so special! It is so special! It is so wonderful that your mother is thinking about you in every moment that she's living. which is so special! She is... she is special!



 I was telling my co-actor that mom I mean, I have to tell you this because you're her friend I'm actually shy, with my body and my body language. Mom has started doing such random things Jiya! Like she, randomly! there was this show airing and the National Anthem started playing. Now, without fail when the National Anthem plays let me tell everyone that both her knees are injured She walks with... With difficulty, she has arthritis. So you know... she gets up with... a lot of difficulty National Anthem was playing, I was in my room and I swear I could hear "Paak sir zameen..."



I was like who is this? But how wonderful! She had stood up and in front of the television! This is so special! This is so beautiful. If all of us have what your mom has how lovely would be our country! That's true. But what else does she not do! She's a cricket fan! She sits on her prayer mat and starts praying frantically. I'm like, mom please stop it. And I have videos of her which are priceless! they should be posted! you should have videos of her go on this! But no, she'll kill me. What about your dad? So dad is like he's a lost cause! How does he feel when he sees you on the big screen?  dad! Again, dad has no concern with these things whatsoever!



 Dad just asks if I am okay. everyday! I mean, mom won't ask me this Mom will call me for all of this But dad will, everyday! How is my daughter doing? I hope her spirits are up. Oh, how nice! Yeah. Everyday, without fail, dad would It keeps you going! This is exactly what keeps you moving ahead. And dad is entirely something else... Till Verna. Till Verna. How did it appear in Verna? Our baby! Baby came in Verna because Sir Shoaib wrote me an email in which he had said He said how would you like a role of a lifetime? I was like, oooh! That's a good pitch! that's a great... But before we go to Verna, something else happened too? Yes, yes!



Shahrukh Khan happened! Shahrukh Khan happened too! We are very proud of you! Extremely proud! Thank you! It is very important that you take your place. You sustain it. You work, according to your desire and on your terms. Right? Yes! It is very important for our girls For both actually, girls and boys, and I think it is difficult You know how hard it is. even here, you know. You have to do certain things or not do certain that you don't want to do. So yeah. Was it fun? Yes, I had a lot of fun! I had learnt a lot! Learnt a lot!  At that time, I had not known that I will come out having learnt this much But I learnt a lot. And when I came back, there were certain things.




 I learnt And I think... umm... If you ask about that one thing that I learnt I think I shed a layer As an actor Became more comfortable with your own self? Yes! Became more comfortable with myself. Because this is what matters in real life for an actor. he has to comfortable in his skin, only then he can be that in someone else's Right, right. And I feel I'm a shy actor. I don't know if you've felt that about me. You are a director's actor I'm a director's actor! Yes, completely! Umm.. You don't direct me I don't know what to do So... some sort of direction you know, I don't need someone to tell me to speak like this, no! but you know how... Shehr e Zaat! Yeah!



We used to go elsewhere. We would talk about it, you know. Yeah, because to exceed a little you need your director to fill you in Absolutely! He should give you so much that you that you convey it And I also feel when people usually see me, they think I'm very confident I'm actually shy with my body and my body language and stuff like that so I felt after Raees, I was a bit more easier, comfortable. So I didn't have problem being more open with my body language. So Verna came before this? No, Verna got shot... No, I meant you got it I got it during the shoot of Raees Had you read the script then?



 Yes, I did. It's a very intense film with what we've seen in the trailers Yes, very intense. Very intense! Were you ready? I don't know. I don't know. Because like you said, to be comfortable in your own skin I don't know if I was ready, I just thought that I want to push myself. and I thought Shoaib will now handle me. You know, let's see what happens with that but the script I knew, one thing I was concerned about the entire film is being carried by one character usually in Shoaib's films, "Khuda Kay Liyay" And "Bol" there are a lot of characters in and out, so it's so in this film, I had this concern. So now, how is Mahira after "Verna"? 



I don't know. But I'm doing an out and out comedy, Jiya. Really? Yes. Which one? I'm doing, if you know Meenu Farjat? Her film. Oh, that's fun! Yeah, but it's scary! Why? You know, comedy! No, you'll be fantastic! I think you're ready because if you're comfortable with your skin, then you're ready to be I hope so, I'm so scared because because comedy is difficult! Difficult! But if you're comfortable but if you're tensed, then no! Then it can't happen. But if you're comfortable And if you're having fun then And if you have good co-actors then you'll sail through I hope so. Because you know, you have a sense of timing. 



Because when you talk there is you create your story and then there are punch lines and that's what comedy is. I hope so! Also, are you doing? Maula Jatt? Yes! I want to know! That would be a fantastic experience! It's fun! Because I think it's a larger than life scale! Yes, and you know And I think it's screen is massive! Yes, massive! Also, I think I had told Billy 5 times I don't want to do it. Take someone else. Please Billy! And this was because I thought how could I speak Punjabi? You know how I am And the entire body language. Body language! Yeah, because you're you use the space!



And also my structure! I was just confused that how? Because we tried, I've been eating I tried eating chapatis. It has nothing to do with your structure! Really? It's from within It is from within but... You can be 6 feet tall and you can be as heavy you want to be because this is exactly what the actor has You're right! Because this is the key to success actors have Pure conviction you can do it and yeah Yeah! That's what I thought. So then came a time when we actually sat and thought about it. and then I thought to myself that night I said okay! God and your own hard work.



So many other factors have contributed to your success. Whatever little there is, there is. If you do not take a risk at this spot when? Yes! When else? You know. Fine, you might fail. but then let it be a then let it be that, you know. So "Verna", the comedy film and "Maula Jatt" Wow! Are all... It's all me saying, bring it on! which I'm scared about but So are you afraid of failure? Yes, absolutely! What is failure? Umm... Oh God, I'm scared of failure Failure! For you, or you know for the world. Because there are two things, some things are not a failure for you the world might think otherwise Box Office performance was not good, but as an actor you know that you did not fail! So that, or the world's failure.
