Despite being known for playing typical roles with a suffering woman in Sangsar, Tu Ishq Hai, Tera Yahan Koi Nahi, etc she actually loves playing the antagonist.
She first played the bad guy in Tishnagi Dil Ki starring Anam Fayyaz, and Azfar Rehman. She then played an antagonist in Ishq Tamasha along with Aiman Khan, Junaid Khan, and Alizey Shah. However, her recent role in Mohlat really had fans blown away.
“Negative roles are so much fun. I don’t want characters that mope around all the time. I’d like to play more negative characters, … I really wanted to play a completely negative character, and I got to do that in Mohlat. I’ll need to think about what kind of character I’d like to play in the future apart from that.”
Her Mohlat co-star Sami Khan also appeared on the show. He revealed that his real name isn’t Sami. He revealed that ‘Sami’ is not his legal name. He changed his name for a film and stuck with the stage name ever since.
“Mansoor Aslam Khan Niazi is my real name, on all my documents. The change happened when I signed my film Salakhain, I figured if we were going to do a film I might as well change my name. People would get ‘Mansoor’ wrong. Some people would call me ‘Manzoor’ and that would annoy me. I wanted something a bit more catchy. I got the option of ‘Sami’ and I figured, why not? I had a friend whose name was Samiullah Khan Niazi, and I really liked it.”

When asked if he felt pressure to quit TV in order to do more films, Sami said no. The Wrong No. 2 actor explained that he is an artist regardless of the medium.
“I don’t think you have to pick and choose between TV and film. This really isn’t an issue internationally. If you take the example of Henry Cavil, he plays Superman on the big screen, but he also plays the Witcher on Netflix. We’ve created confusion for no reason. If I get a good opportunity from theatre, film or TV, I’d accept it regardless of the medium.”
