Durefishan Reveals How She Signed Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi

KARACHI: (Showbiz Desk) – Pakistani actress Durefishan Saleem has shared interesting details about how she became part of the popular drama serial Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi, revealing that it was the only television script she had personally read before signing a project.

During a recent interview, the actress disclosed that her mother enjoys reading drama scripts and often helps her by providing brief summaries, saving her time when considering new projects.

Durefishan recalled that Abdullah Saeed, whom she respectfully addressed as Abdullah Bhai, initially approached her with two projects and also mentioned another drama that was expected to come her way within the next two to three months.

However, the Dar-e-Nijaat actress said she prefers working on one project at a time. She explained that she does not like staying in Karachi for extended periods and prefers returning home between professional commitments.

She further revealed that she was already impressed by director Ahmed Bhatti’s work. Therefore, when he contacted her regarding the project, she readily agreed to meet him and discuss the drama.

According to Durefishan, she had been narrated only three to four episodes when she agreed to sign the project. She was also briefed about its central storyline, which revolved around an innocent girl in a solo female lead role.

The male protagonist, meanwhile, was portrayed as a man deeply and intensely in love with her, despite facing her resentment and rejection.

The actress said she eventually read the first 10 episodes, which gave her an initial understanding of how the story would develop.

However, she pointed out that television dramas can undergo considerable changes during production, as cinematography, editing, direction and on-screen presentation significantly influence the final outcome.

Durefishan added that the version of Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi eventually presented to viewers turned out to be much bigger and more impactful than the story originally written on paper.
