So one day, I told him to take me on one of his projects. That\u2019s how I landed in Sinf-e-Ahan and I never thought I will get another serial with him in the same year. When he asked me, i said \u2018duh, why is that even a question?\u2019 Also, it\u2019s written by Mohammed Ahmed. I love him. Meri unse behad muhabbat, ishq, dosti hai.
