We were understanding of the situation and waited three weeks. But other actors did have dates. So, Usman asked us to cast someone else because he didn\u2019t know when he could resume work. It wasn\u2019t our decision, it was his,\u201d Nawaz commented in a video shared by @irfanistan on Insta.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank God, his mother is doing better now, I think\u2026 she\u2019s back home. But I can\u2019t update anyone because we haven\u2019t been in touch with Usman, he\u2019s been busy looking after her,\u201d added Nawaz. \u201cHe [Usman] was understanding of our situation too.\u201d\u00a0When asked about Khan, Nawaz maintained, \u201cI believe in letting newer people in. [Inaudible]. I think he [Usama] was destined to this drama. I have faith that Usama will be a star one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mukhtar had updated fans about his mother\u2019s health last week. In an emotional note<\/a> shared on his IG Stories, Mukhtar had penned, \u201cThere are individuals whose resilience and inner strength stand out as an enduring source of inspiration. Amma is a remarkable embodiment of such strength,”<\/p>\n

Mukhtar stated in his Instagram Story. He continued to explain that although his mother was now back home, her recovery journey was far from over. She required aggressive physiotherapy for several weeks to regain her strength and mobility fully. Nevertheless, Mukhtar had unwavering faith in his mother’s resilience, referring to her as a true warrior.<\/p>\n

Mukhtar\u2019s mother, Nasira Begum, is also an actor from the 60s. “She was put on a ventilator for some time but fought her way out of it, and she’s back home. Right now, she requires aggressive physiotherapy for several weeks before she’s back on her feet, but Amma is a warrior and will be back on her feet in no time. She sends her love and gratitude to you all!” shared Mukhtar with his fans.<\/p>\n
