It was Rubina Ashraf’s own choice—though I had tell her that Ali would be a ‘puppo’ opp: Nadia but Rubina insisted…and I even suggested Aijaz Aslam..but since a few of his cenes had already been recorded..that was not possible.
I think Ali did fairly well..and so did the serial..which was 80% recorded in my younger sister’s susraal in DHA-V Khayyaban e Mujahid…which I arranged for Rubina. It was–again a family atmosphere and we really enjoyed every moment of the shoot…with Khalid Ahmed, zakia aapa, Vinny, Nadia, Farida Shabbir Jan (who played my wife)…and Vinny’s brother Amer (as my son) as a whole big family while the other family… was Baddo, Sherry Zaidi, Adnan Siddiqi and Ali Kazmi.
