Hajra Yamin, a lead actress celebrated for her dynamic performances, recently offered insights into her latest project, Noor Jahan. With a reputation for bringing intricate characters to life, Yamin has continually mesmerized audiences with her exceptional skills.
During a recent appearance on Maliha Rehman’s talk show, Hajra Yamin was questioned regarding the emotional toll of playing her role in Noor Jahan.
Meanwhile, the host asked if reading and performing the script was as painful as it looked. Yamin honestly said it was emotionally draining. She said the experience was especially traumatic because of her strong attachment to the screenplay.
Hajra went on to explain her decision to take up the part—the storyline would of course be set in the future context. She complimented the show’s director, Musaddiq, for his remarkable approach. According to Yamin, Musaddiq has a strong female gaze, which is often missing in many directorial approaches. This perspective has substantially affected Noor Jahan’s story, creating a complex representation of the individuals.

Balanced Perspective in Noor Jahan
Hajra Yamin highlighted that the drama addresses internal misogyny. She explained that while the story primarily explores women’s perspectives, it also acknowledges that the men in the drama are portrayed as victims of these attitudes. This distinction between male and female perspectives is central to the unique storytelling in Noor Jahan.
Portrayal of Male Characters
Yamin was quick to defend that there are no evil men in the drama. Shockingly, even the role of Noor Bano’s father is presented in a positive light, a man, who only wants to protect, his daughter.
This sarcasm is opposite to most of the movies where the male characters are portrayed as bearing negative attributes. Yamin here had a unique experience of this script; she rarely needed to elaborate to the director about her point of view as Musaddiq’s ideas were akin to hers regarding the relationships among the characters.
