In her latest tell-all with a digital channel, actor Mariyam Nafees disclosed that she was roped in to play another character, of Taimur\u2019s [Emmad Irfani] sister, but that character was eventually slashed from the cast.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cI was offered another character, of Taimur\u2019s sister, in this drama but that was slashed because the makers felt that there were too many characters. And then they offered me to do this and I was quite apprehensive, said \u2018I don\u2019t want to do this\u2019 but when I read the script, I loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The celebrity shared that the writer of the play Rida Bilal further convinced her saying that she wrote the character, keeping her in mind specifically.<\/p>\n

The actor also teased \u2018many surprises\u2019 in the story further and said that viewers are \u2018in for a ride\u2019.<\/p>\n
