In a recent interview with FUCHSIA Magazine<\/a>, Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane got candid about her recent happenings in life, including the arrival of her niece, Jahan Aara Saeed, and her proper foray into comedy with the drama series Let’s Try Mohabbat<\/em>, alongside co star, Daniyal Zafar. Delving into her character and personal life, Mawra gave a sneak peek at the multifaceted experiences she’s currently navigating.<\/p>\n

She confessed that portraying Fiza in the comedy series has been a refreshing challenge and emphasised the complexity of her character, stating, \u201cI have never done comedy before in this way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strong but not tragic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Describing Fiza as an intelligent and outspoken woman who values open communication, the 31-year-old highlighted the novelty of portraying such a role. She elaborated, \u201cI\u2019ve done characters of girls who speak their mind but they are in a more tragic and serious way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mawra furthered on, \u201cBut this girl\u2026 If I were to describe to you her character in one dialogue, she says, \u2018Why don\u2019t people just talk to each other?\u2019 and everyone is like we do that so she insists \u2018no one speaks their heart out.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As per the Sammi <\/em>actor, her latest character Fiza \u201cis the one who wants everyone to speak their mind, speak their heart so that no one has anything weighing down on them.\u201d She added, \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever done a character who talks this much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remarking on the certain demeanour typically attributed to strong characters on Pakistan\u2019s small screen, Mawra said, \u201cI think for a character to be empowered, they don\u2019t necessarily have to be serious. I also found a takeaway in the script but a serious one that is imparted in such a light way. So I like that combination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Becoming an aunt<\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked about the joy of being an aunt to her sister Urwa Hocane’s child, Aara, Mawra’s eyes sparkled with affection. “It\u2019s lovely! It\u2019s the best feeling in the world\u2026 I\u2019ve never felt like this before,” she gushed. Reflecting on her initial moments with baby Aara, she shared, \u201cHolding her for the first time was very overwhelming. I couldn\u2019t believe it so I kept looking at her and Urwa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, Urwa and I always say to each other now that we have a third girlfriend now,\u201d she beamed. Amidst the joy of embracing her new role as an aunt, Mawra reassured that her bond with her sister remains unbreakable. She affectionately expressed, \u201cHow could I ignore Urwa? I love Aara but Urwa is my heart, I love her the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if the actor has a special name for her beloved niece, she disclosed she tenderly calls her \u201cAaru Paaru\u201d. However, Mawra has no preference as to what Aara should call her. \u201cWhen she starts speaking, whatever she comes up with, I want her to call me that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Squealing in delight, she further revealed, \u201cEarlier, I considered thinking of a name she should call me. Then I thought, \u2018Why should I think of a name? She\u2019ll think of a name.\u2019 Whatever she sees fit\u2026 Right now, even when she makes a little sound and I am like \u2018Yes, I know, I know.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Mawra underscored her close bond with Aara and stated, \u201cShe has brought so much happiness into our lives. The joy we are experiencing right now, both families, we didn\u2019t know we were capable of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘The woman of today’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Returning to her work in Let’s Try Mohabbat<\/em>, Mawra shared her take on prevailing stereotypes about strong, independent women on screen. She asserted, \u201cWe were very mindful of the fact that if a girl is intelligent and speaks her mind, she doesn\u2019t have to be dressed in Western clothes to speak her mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, there\u2019s nothing with that either but there is a stereotype for these characters,\u201d she clarified. The actor rubbished the notion of Fiza fitting these preset boxes and emphasised the importance of essaying a role with honesty. \u201cI tried to keep it as honest, as real as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mawra also challenged stereotypes surrounding independence, asserting that it manifests in various forms and doesn’t necessarily correlate with one’s attire or appearance. \u201cI think there are many kinds of independence but I would like her to be very positively independent. Not something that someone should be afraid of or parents should be worried about,\u201d she contended.<\/p>\n

In a poignant reflection on the diversity of women’s experiences, Mawra articulated, \u201cI think there are so many kinds of people in the world. Every character in a drama, even the flawed one, represents some set of people out in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus, enters the impossibility of representing women as a whole, the Neem <\/em>actor argued. She opined, \u201cI understand that you wouldn\u2019t like to see it over and over again. I think Fiza also represents a certain kind of people. She can\u2019t represent \u2018the woman of today\u2019 because that\u2019s so diverse. How can one person represent \u2018the woman of today\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
