    What happened between Sidra Niazi and Imran Ashraf the first time they met?

    Actress Sidra Niazi actor Imran Ashraf met up and recalled their first day working together on the set of a drama. Sidra appeared as a guest on ‘Mazaq Raat,’ where both shared a funny and heartwarming story. Imran asked Sidra, “Can you tell us about our first day on set? What happened?” Sidra smiled and replied, “You tell us, you probably remember it better, then I’ll add to it.

    “Imran Ashraf recalled the moment, saying, “I was about to shoot a scene, and I had to come out from a corner and walked in front of the camera. You had to come down the stairs from above, and I was watching from a distance. I could see a look of hopelessness in a girl’s eyes, wishing the world would just pause for a moment so the drama could stop.”

    Sidra asked, “What exactly did you say to me?” Imran responded, “I told you, may Allah be with you; this will be a great role for you. We had so much fun working on the whole drama together.”
    Sidra Niazi is known for her roles in dramas like ‘Chupke Chupke,’ ‘Qayamat,’ ‘Sukoon’ and the Eid telefilm ‘Tamiz-ud-din Ki Badtamiz Family.’

    Even the male vocals by Hassan and Roshaan have garnered immense praise. The duo expressed their gratitude after the song was used by two Bollywood actors, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rohit Saraf in their respective Instagram posts.

    The talented duo stated on their joint Instagram handle, “What is happening? We seriously didn’t expect all this love and support.”

    Sukoon’s audio was originally out in October, but the music video was released in December. Hassan and Roshan took to Instagram to share the clip and wrote, “When the director heard the song, he said the song gave him a sense of peace coupled with melancholy. Like a goldfish in a fishbowl, zindagi haseen bhi hay, tanha bhi hay [life is also beautiful, life is also lonely). A goldfish in a bowl, perhaps the prettiest, loneliest thing one could visualize.”
