    Why did Sadia Imam decrease screen appearances?

    The renowned actress Sadia Imam, a prominent figure in the showbiz industry, has revealed the reason behind reduced screen presence.

    Sadia Imam recently participated in a TV program where she discussed various aspects of her life. “Allah has increased my responsibilities when my parents were alive then life was easy. Those people are very lucky whose parents are alive and seeing their smiling faces every day is like a Hajj. I am one of those unlucky people whose parents do not have a shadow over their heads. Of course, their prayers are with me even today, but now I cannot leave the house leaving my daughter alone at home anymore.”
    Sadia Imam became emotional upon hearing her daughter’s beautiful voice reciting Naat.

    She stated that she attempted to resume work in the midst but couldn’t manage it because raising a child is a tremendous responsibility.
    Sadia Imam said that “I am also responsible for the responsibility of my children, but my daughter may ask me a question about it when she grows up tomorrow, so before my daughter asks me any question, it is better that I give her the time she deserves.”

    Sami Khan recently appeared as a guest on a ‘Life Green Hai’ show where he had an interesting discussion on various topics.

    The actor continued, recalling that the plane encountered turbulence as it neared Lahore. “When the plane was about to land on the runway at Lahore Airport, they heard a strange noise. The passenger sitting next to me looked outside and said that the tires of the plane did not open.”

    He said, “After hearing this from the person sitting next to me, I said that now we can only recite Holy verses. Instead of landing there, the plane flew back to the top. All the passengers were reciting kalimah and it seemed to everyone that now death is upon us.”

    Sami Khan was hoping that they would not try to land the plane there again. “The weather in Lahore was very bad and then the pilot announced that the plane won’t land here. It is quite dangerous so we are going to Islamabad after which the plane was landed at Islamabad Airport safely”
