Actor and producer Momal Sheikh has made a name for herself in the showbiz industry in Pakistan, but said the turning point of her career came after the birth of her first-born and with the encouragement of lawyer husband Nader Nawaz.

Appearing alongside husband Nadir as a guest on Shan e Suhoor with host Nida Yasir, Momal stated unequivocally, “The man behind all my success is not anyone in my family. It is Nader.”

Coming from a long line of TV actors and producers, Momal struck gold with her film debut in the 2016 Bollywood romantic comedy Happy Bhag Jayegi. The call from Bollywood came when Momal was postpartum with first-born Ibrahim, and according to her, she would never have been able to land the role had Nadir not pushed her into accepting it.

“Ibrahim was only two months old, so I didn’t think I could do it, but Nader said I should absolutely do it,” recalled the Dil-e-Momin actor.
