Sep 23, 2024

Hajra Yamin has emerged as one of the most talented actors in the Pakistani entertainment industry. With her exceptional skills and dedication, she has captivated audiences both on screen and stage. Recently, she appeared as a guest on the talk show After Hours with Ushna Shah, where she shared insights into her acting journey and the creative processes behind her roles.

The Process of Acting: Theater vs. Television

When asked about her journey from theatre to television, Ushna Shah asked Hajra about her journey and subsequent move from the medium. Hajra revealed, “I have always kept my process similar for both, but there is one aspect that I have changed: the pace.” She said that, unlike theatre, there is a lot of time to work on the roles and get to the core of a character’s feelings. However, she observed that television requires the provision of information more promptly. “In TV, I don’t have the same luck,” she further said. But she added that working with a gifted director such as Musaddiq Malik did lighten the load and made it fun to do.

Casting Insights: From Safina to Sumbul

It also featured Hajra’s participation in the drama Noor Jahan. She took the time to reveal that she was first cast for the character known as Safina. However, when he first met her, he saw the talent in her and encouraged her to audition for the role of Sumbul. “He knew how to identify a character”, Hajra congratulated Musaddiq for his profound observation. For his part, other colleagues; Ushna Shah, applauded Hajra, saying “You bring colours to this play; your acting was fabulous.”.

The Importance of Selectiveness

Regarding her strategy in choosing roles, Hajra stated, “I am very picky about my roles.” Especially such aspects as refusal from the projects which do not coincide with her vision. “To build a well-defined character, one has to deny herself several things, I had to do it,” she said. By avoiding some roles, she can construct a more clear and resonant persona when in front of the camera.

Therefore, Hajra Yamin, a hard-working actress, and these realistic thoughts on acting make her one of the emerging personalities in this field. Her transition was rather seamless, rife with intelligent decisions and a solid commitment to her craft; hence, she remains an inspiration to those who desire to be actors in the future.
