As Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum wrapped up, fans went into mourning, bereft of their favourite show. Millions across the border tuned into the finale and then through a cosmic touch, one Indian fan ran into the series’ star Bushra Ansari at a restaurant.
Veteran actress Bushra Ansari thanked the audience for making the drama a huge success, even though she missed the final episode. She portrayed the character of Shagufta in Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.
The finale episode of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum aired on November 5, 2024.
Bushra Ansari talked about the show in a recent vlog on her YouTube channel, offering details of her emotions after the drama ended.
“Well, Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum has ended, and I was here, I missed it, the last episode where everyone was there. Watching it made my heart happy and sad at the same time because I wasn’t there. But you all liked it so much, it was so good, MashaAllah, our project. This is what you call when Allah’s help is with you, everything works out well. And all our lovely children, Emmad, Fahad, Naeema, and Hania, they have won everyone’s hearts. You guys liked them so much, and I’m really, really happy.”
Reflecting on the international impact of the drama, the Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum actress shared a fun anecdote when she met an Indian fan.
“Alhamdulillah, and I’m so grateful to God and all of you for appreciating it so much, and I’m really happy that you all took this play so far. MashaAllah, our Indian audience is also very encouraging. One night, I went to a restaurant for dinner, and the girl serving us was so nervous, smiling, and acting a little restless. Then she came up and said, ‘You’re a Pakistani artist, we watched Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.’ I said, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ She even took pictures. It feels good that our work is appreciated across the border as well,” Bushra Ansari added.
She praised the team behind the success of Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum.
“Farhat Ishtiaq wrote such a beautiful romance in such a unique style, I had done a play written by her before, and she writes very well. This is all a team effort, everyone behind the camera is part of it, there are so many elements that go into making it. And my own collaboration with Javed has always been so lovely. We had so much fun on set, you must have seen an old clip I posted a few months ago where Javed and I were having a blast,” the Aangan Terha actress said.
Bushra Ansari thoughts concluded with a powerful message about the universal appeal of good content.
“Our kids are such a hit there. Now, I think if there were no boundaries, no fights between India and Pakistan, our kids would be at the top right now. The point is that content is what matters. It doesn’t matter whether you’re wearing simple clothes or bold clothes. People enjoy it when the content is good,” Bushra Ansari concluded.
