Nusheen Ali Sardar on the sets of Ana in Dubai!!!
The small screen's erstwhile Kkusum (Nausheen Ali Sardar) is playing a
new role now. She is Madeha in the Pakistani serial Ana (meaning ego).
Just back from its shoot in Dubai, Nausheen says it was a novel
experience shooting with the Pakistani artistes. "We have shot quite a
bit
maybe later there will be a schedule in Pakistan," she informs.
Ana, a 26-episode series written by Seema Ghazal, will be telecast on
ARY channel. It is produced by Pakistani producer-actor Humayun Saeed
and directed by the well-known S Suleman who is a big name in
Pakistani
films too.
"Ana is a family drama," says Nausheen. "I play the role of this young
girl Madeha who is from a humble background. She is wooed by the son
(Humayun) of a business tycoon who leaves his father and his riches to
marry her. There is also this track of the father-son relationship."
The Ana Team: Samina Peerzada,
Talat Hussein, Sheela David, director S Suleman, Humayun Saeed,
Nausheen
Ali Sardar and Parikshat Sahni
Besides Nausheen, the other Indian artistes include Parikshat Sahni and
Sheela David who play her parents. There is also Amna Altaf (Kashish)
who plays the role of a dancer. While the Pakistani artistes in Ana
include the veteran Samina Peerzada and Talat Hussain who play
Humayun's
parents.
Incidentally, Nausheen will shortly be leaving for the US tour of her
play Kkusum Manhar Lele in which she plays the title role. Last month,
she had quit the popular Sony soap, Kkusum, after she could no longer
relate to the changes in the character. "Yes, I do miss Kkusum, it was
so
much a part of me," she says. "When I was in UK for my play, the only
question that people asked me was why did I leave Kkusum." And finally
the question that is inevitable: Does she still watch Kkusum? "Yes. I
have caught up with a few episodes. I find it very amusing to see the
new
Kkusum try to be like me!"
