“I’m still accused of *faking* a “foreign accent”. Ya’ll are a bunch of bullies & and this is abuse FYI.”, the 31-year-old tweeted.
Earlier, Ushna Shah, Farhan Agha, and Ayesha Omar were chosen in the first round of auditions that were held in Lahore and Karachi.
Over 6,000 professional and budding actors had applied for the tryouts, but only 62 were short-listed for the Islamic warrior series, to be screened in Pakistan and Turkey simultaneously.
On the work front, her portrayal of a strong resilient woman in the drama serial Akhir Kab Tak has created a benchmark and was loved by the fans.
