  • Tahajjud helped Resham overcome life’s struggles

    Tahajjud helped Resham overcome life’s struggles

    Veteran actress Resham has opened up about the powerful role of spirituality in her life.

    Recently, the actress appeared as a guest on ‘Meri Maa’ hosted by Noor Ul Hassan, where she talked about Tahajjud.

    “In life, I have only prayed five times, but I have never cut off my connection with Allah, Alhamdulillah, however, 15 months ago, I started praying Tahajjud,” Resham said.

    The Gunjal actress also talked about the challenges she has faced, including being betrayed by people she trusted. Despite the difficulties, she found comfort in her faith: “I meet my Allah during the last third of the night and talk to Him about significant matters. I never complain to Him, even though I have faced many struggles. Allah, who loves me more than seventy mothers, has lifted me up from my hardships and given me strength and courage.”

    Resham reflected on the concept of loss, saying, “When I talk about mothers, I believe that if Allah takes something away from you, He compensates you. This is why we say ‘Inna Lillah.’The biggest blessing in my life has been my mother. She always said, ‘It’s Allah’s property; entrust it to Allah.’”

    Resham believes that those who leave us do not truly go away they remain with us, often reminding us their presence, “Since I learned that those who leave this world still have their blessings and contributions, I continue to pray for my parents and my brother. I regularly offer charity in their name and pray that whatever good I do for humanity reaches my parents and my brother. I have come to understand that those who pass away still have a continuous charity through their good deeds, and I hope that my brother and my parents are pleased with me whenever I do something for them. I trust that Allah accepts it,” the Terha Aangan actress stated

    How Syed Noor’s first wife Rukhsana allowed him to marry Saima  

     
     
    Renowned director Syed Noor is not just a master of storytelling but also is also a romantic at heart.

    Recently, Syed Noor appeared as a guest on ‘Coffee with Samaa’ hosted by Naeem Hanif and Bushra Khan.

    During the conversation, Noor said, “I went to pick Saima up from her home for a shoot, and we were chatting when I held her hand. As soon as I did, she looked at me and said, ‘Now that you’ve held my hand, never let it go.’ I knew right then that I wanted to spend the rest of my life making her happy.”
     
    The two tied the knot in July 2005, choosing to keep the relationship secret for several years.
     
    “My first wife, Rukhsana, was a very brave woman. She was quite worried after I told her about my decision to marry Saima, but later she realized that I was true in my love. She gave me permission to marry Saima and allowed her to have all legal rights as my wife. I patiently waited to announce my second marriage until I had Rukhsana’s permission,” Noor added.

     
    When it comes to his children’s reactions to his second marriage, Noor said, “After Rukhsana’s death, my elder daughters married early and left the country; they did not accept Saima. My son Shazil was very young, and Saima took care of him. After that, my children developed love for Saima because my daughters realized how attached she is to me, my son, and my family.”
     
    Syed Noor tied the knot with Rukhsana in 1984. She passed away on 12 January 2017.

    The heated debate  between  actress Resham and veteran director Syed Noor has gone into the fifty gear as both icons share their perspectives on their professional relationship.

    Syed Noor appeared as guest on Dr Affan Qaiser’s podcast,

    where he said, “Resham is an intelligent person. Unfortunately, she dislikes me as her teacher, despite the fact that I introduced her to the film industry. She considers Ayub Khawar and a select group of people as her teachers. I’m glad I introduced, launched, and groomed her and that I put effort into her appearance. I have no complaints about her.”

    “I don’t know why she isn’t getting work or why others aren’t casting her, but right now, I don’t have a role for her. If I do find a role that suits her, I will offer it to her. I’ve shared my thoughts, but she never acknowledges me. She should show me the work her other teachers have done for her. As I said, I’m not upset with her,” Noor added.

    Renowned actress Resham has leveled serious allegations against director Syed Noor, saying that he ruined her film career.

    Resham defended her choices, saying that every actor does both good and bad projects. “Show me any actor who has only done good work. We all have ups and downs, but everyone thinks only Resham made bad films,” she said.

    She also accused Noor of betraying her professionally, especially after he fell in love with actress Saima, whom he then cast repeatedly in his movies. “Syed Noor was the only director who understood my acting, but he stopped giving me roles because of his feelings for Saima Ji,” she explained.

    She strongly stated, “By God, Syed Noor ruined my career. He insulted me on set, asking who would cast me in their films.”

    Recently, Resham appeared as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat,’ where she talked about how she had to face off against Maria Wasti to earn her first main part on PTV.
    “I still remember the day I auditioned for my first lead role on PTV. I used to accompany my brother to auditions and had played supporting characters before, but this was my chance to shine. When I arrived at the studios, I saw some big names auditioning for the same role. I saw Maria Wasti there, and she was speaking in perfect English with everyone. At that time, my own Urdu wasn’t as polished, and this made me think I had little chance of getting the role.” Resham narrated.
