‘Passion inspires me’

by ASJAD NAZIR

PAKISTANI actress Ramsha Khan has been unstoppable ever since her film and television debut in 2017. Since then, she has starred in a number of acclaimed serials that have included Tumhari Marium, Mah-e-Tamaam, Khud Parast and Kaisa Hai Naseeban. With many more projects on the way, the strikingly beautiful star looks set to rise even further.


Eastern Eye caught up with Ramsha Khan to talk about her journey, current project and all things television.

How do you look back on your TV journey?

It has been a nice productive experience so far! But there is a long way to go.

Which of your projects have given you the greatest joy?

I think Kaisa Hai Naseeban definitely. It’s probably because of the Malaysia spell and the amazing story that raised the topic of marital abuse.

You are very much in demand. Tell us about your current project?

I’m working on an untitled project by Bigbang, ARY digital. It’s being directed by Badar Mehmood, who had directed (serials) Cheekh and Balaa.

How does this character compare to others you have played?

I feel what makes her different is the way she interacts with everyone from her younger sister, played by Hania (Aamir), husband, played by Gohar (Rasheed) and love interest, played by Feroze (Khan).

What’s your dream role?

I don’t have a specific character in my head, but anything out of the box makes me excited.

Whom would you love to work with?

I would like to work with actors such as Noman Ejaz, Sania Saeed and Saba Qamar because they are immensely talented. They’re an institute in themselves and I can learn a lot from them.

What do you enjoy watching, and have you binge-watched any shows recently?

I enjoy watching fantasy or thriller shows. Recently, I binge-watched Stranger Things.

What are your big passions away from work?

I love video games. I usually play games on my PS4 or PC.

Who is your TV hero?

Ross from Friends.

What is it that inspires you?

Passion inspires me! When I see someone’s passion for their work, it inspires me and pushes me to work harder.

Why helping ageing parents is precious

As our parents age, we embrace new roles in their lives with compassion and care.

Why helping ageing parents is precious

AS OUR parents’ health begins to deteriorate, one of the hardest things in life is watching them age. Some can no longer walk for more than 10 minutes, and their memory isn’t what it used to be. There are also hidden complications associated with ageing.

I grew up in a working-class family. My dad was named Simba when he lived back in Zanzibar, Africa. He swam in the open ocean and ran for miles. The joinery skills he learned from his father have been passed down to my brother and me. My mum worked long hours sewing and in factories to provide for us, ensuring we had everything we needed. She also taught me never to rely on anyone for anything, which has shaped me into the strong, independent woman I am today.
