    Hajra Yamin’s future husband must have one very important quality

    We all know what we want in a life partner. Some people want a supportive spouse, others want someone who can give them space and many others want someone who can provide for them.

    Hajra Yamin knows what she wants in a life partner and its a vital quality.

    During her appearance on Sohail Javed Podcast, she was asked, “When you look at someone, do you ever think whether they’d make a good father for your children or not?”

    Hajra replied, “No, no I mean, when you look at someone, after some time, this thought definitely crosses my mind, will this person be a suitable father? A good, suitable father a good father, you know this is what crosses my mind now. I guess, I don’t know. But then again, you can’t control timing, and I’m one of those people who is very attached to her own independence and freedom.”

    “One of the questions that goes through my mind is that you’re thinking about a family, I guess. I don’t know. But then again, you can’t control timing, and I’m one of those people who is very attached to her own independence and freedom.”

    ‘If I were older, I would’ve played Noor Jahan’: Hajra Yamin

    Actress Hajra Yamin is making waves with her performance as Sumbul in the drama Noor Jahan.

    Recently, Hajra appeared as a guest on Gloss Etc by Maliha Rehman where she was asked, “If it was up to you, would you play Sumbhal or some other character?”

    The Noor Jahan actress replied, “I would play Sumbul. I would definitely choose Noor Jahan if I were older. What a character and what an amazing job. Negativity aside, she is such a powerful woman. I love it.”

    The host asked, “Is Saba Hamid as strict in real life as she portrays her characters, like Noor Jahan? Does she have a similar presence off-screen?”

    Hajra Yamin said, “I will be very honest with you. Sometimes we feel that the people who seem very strict are actually more scared of us than we are of them. Maybe they have social anxiety; this is a very general statement, you know, because I have a little bit of social anxiety myself, which sometimes comes across as arrogance. Saba Aapa….the talent she has, the figure that she is, I was a bit anxious about how it would be. A lot of my work is with her, or has been with Kubra Khan, but it was nice, and she was clear about who should do what. There was one thing that was good, where I was a bit scared, but then there was Musadik, and he said, ‘No, Azaam, we’ll do it this way, and it’ll be fine.’ I said, ‘Alright, okay.’

    “You know, I sometimes forget my lines. Saba Appa doesn’t forget her lines. She is a pro. Oh, she is so good. She is so good that she instantly remembers her lines. And the performance we saw on screen was amplified from what we saw firsthand. The gestures, the way she glared, the stern tone, she never shouted, but the sternness in her voice, in certain words, she emphasized it. And that was not missed by anyone. What I am really happy about is that the nuances of this story are visible to everyone,” Hajra Yamin added.

    Noor Jahan is written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Musadik Malek. It airs on ARY Digital on Friday and Saturday at 8:00 PM.
