You have previously worked with Minal. How different is the relationship between your characters in Qismat?

Our relationship is different this time because it's a new story altogether, with new situations.

How is Minal as a co star?

Minal is one of my favorite co-stars to work with. She has a very soothing vibe. Her vibrant personality makes the set environment very easy to work with.

What can audience expect from the drama?

Audience should expect the same twists, turns and tumbles that they got in "Ki Jana Main Kon

While this is exciting for all you drama buffs out there, another interesting feature in the drama is that the Chairman Sindh Censor Board will also be seen in pivotal role. The drama is bringing Mr Khalid Bin Shaheen back to his roots. He started out as an actor. He is primarily known for his work in PTV dramas like Daastan, however in recent times he has become a rare sighting in television.

Looks like the actor is reconnecting with his roots as we can see him in Sarah Khan starrer Meray Humdam as well as Azfar Rehman's Qadam Qadam Ishq. In Qismat, he will be seen playing Faizan's father. So naturally we asked Faizan how his experience has been working with him?

He replied, "Khalid sahab was a treat to work with. He's a very classy gentleman

The project is being directed by none other than Faheem Burney. Watch out for Qismat, coming soon on HUM TV!

Minal Khan's next TV drama depicts the consequences of forced marriages

There's no doubt about the fact that we take our drama industry very seriously. The drama industry of Pakistan has given some terrific stories that have defied being ephemeral projects, having attracted momentary and mass audiences. It's amazing to see how actors today don't shy away from portraying more real roles; characters that require more than just the dazzle of glamour. It's just that when some actors blow you away with their flawless performances, and manage to retain their standards for quite some time; you begin to expect that these people can never go wrong.

Minal Khan's upcoming drama serial 'Qismat' is the latest addition in the clique that aims to be a family tale woven around social issues. Qismat is directed and produced by Faheem Burney (under the banner of Momina Duraid Productions). The script has been written by popular script writer Asma Sayani. Apart from Minal Khan the cast includes Faizan Khawaja, Shaheen Khan, Khalid Butt, Mariam Mirza, Adnan Jilani, Sharmeen Ali and Subhan.

Speaking exclusively to HIP in Pakistan, Minal shared details about the project:

"I am playing the lead role in Qismat.The plot revolves around my character Soha; it's a journey of a confident girl whose life takes a drastic change. She lives with her aunt and is forced to sacrifice her love and marry another guy. Soha faces the consequences of making the wrong decisions at the wrong time due to family pressures. My character is very tough and has many shades to it. The narrative further unfolds towards how her relationship gets forward.

She further added: "Qismat is a family oriented drama and people would surely relate to it. It depicts the consequences of forced marriages and the situations which girls in our society go through every day in life. The best part about the play is the well written script which actually made me say yes to it. I am really looking forward that the audience would get to see a product which is unique.
