    Badar Mehmood praises Hania Aamir, Emmad Irfani for their kindness in ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’

    Director Badar Mehmood shares how actress Hania Aamir and actor Emmad Irfani’s kindness and positive energy made working on Kabhi Mein Kabhi Tum a joyful experience. 

    During his appearance as a guest on Fuchsia Magazine, Mehmood shared his experiences working closely with the two stars, highlighting their respectful nature and dedication to their craft.

    “Hania brings a lot of positive energy, I’ve never seen her in a bad mood, and she never just goes through the motions in any scene. Working with her is genuinely enjoyable, and we’ve built a strong chemistry together,” he said.

    “As I mentioned about Fahad, it’s the same with Hania. We’ve worked together so many times that when I say ‘cut,’ she immediately understands what needs to happen next”, Mehmood added.

    Talking about Emmad Irfani, Badar described that he carries himself with “such elegance” off-camera that you can tell “he comes from a respectable background”. “He treats everyone with great respect, whether it’s the shoot’s driver or the spot boy. I’ve never seen anyone interact with others the way Emmad does.”

    Badar also asserted that Emmad’s patience and gentlemanly nature earned admiration from cast members, including Hania and her younger sister. “Emmad truly is the most gentlemanly man in Pakistani shows. He has put a tremendous amount of effort into his acting and has done an excellent job. He delivered exactly what I expected from him,” Badar Mehmood added.

    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum director also appreciated Naeema Butt saying, Naeema is a very dedicated actress who puts her heart and soul into her work.

    “She pays attention to every little detail. When the first episode aired, I received a lot of positive feedback about her performance,” he said.

    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood.

    The trending drama, which is about to end soon, stars Fahad Mustafa, Hania Aamir, Javed Sheikh, Naeema Butt, Emmad Irfani, Maya Khan, Bushra Ansari and Tauseeq Haider.

    The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital.

    Earlier, during his appearance on ‘Kya Drama Hai ‘Badar Mehmood also weighed in on the situation, stating that he had initially reached out to Odho with that role in mind.

    Badar Mehmood said, “I will tell you something, I did call Atiqa for Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum to play Mustafa’s mother, but she was extremely busy and occupied.”

  • Can you imagine Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum with different actors?

    Can you imagine Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum with different actors?

     
     
     
     When it comes to casting the perfect actors for a drama serial, every little detail counts, especially for a drama like ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’ which has become popular because of its gripping storyline and brilliant performances.
     
    But have ever wondered what the drama would be like with a completely different cast?
     
    Hania Aamir plays the character of Sharjeena, and Emmad Irfani plays the character of Adeel.
     
     
    Recently, Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum director Badar Mehmood appeared on Gloss Etc by Maliha Rehman.
      
    “This is a collective decision, when the story is written and the script is prepared, there are some writers’ inputs involved. The writer (Farhat Ishtiaq) specifically told me that she wanted Hania Aaamir to be cast, and for Emmad Irafani, she mentioned that too. Fortunately, we got both of them because, as you know, there are timeline issues and commitments. The only concern is that there shouldn’t be any commitments. So it was just luck that we managed to get both of them for this drama.”
     
    The host asked, “They also said that if the chemistry is good, the drama will progress well. Did you know from the beginning that this romance might require some censorship?”
     
    Mehmood replied, “Until now, we haven’t had to face any issues on TV. However, when the 25th episode aired, a censor issue came up that I had to address because it was related to romance. In the 25th episode, there’s a scene where Fahad is lying on the bed, and Hania is resting her head on his shoulder. I initially took a wider shot, but then I made it more compact. I thought, when I saw the drama that was the wider shot with both of them lying down and talking. I made it more compact so that it wouldn’t cause too much concern on TV.”
     
     
     
     
    Badar also highlighted how important it is to show closeness in a respectful way, especially when it involves portraying different types of relationships on screen.
     
    “It also depends on the relationship, if it’s a husband-wife relationship, I feel there should be some allowance for that. I spoke to the censor board and said, ‘It’s a husband-wife relationship, it should be fine.’ But if it’s a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, I understand that certain boundaries should definitely be maintained. That’s the beauty of a husband-wife relationship, it should be  shown,” Badar Mehmood added.
     
    Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum is written by Farhat Ishtiaq and directed by Badar Mehmood.

    The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 PM on ARY Digital.
