Sanam Saeed discussed how Pakistani generations are familiar with Indian culture in an interview. I prefer to binge-watch Hollywood movies, she declared. However, from our grandparents to now, entire population of Pakistan has grown up watching Bollywood films. As a result, we are familiar with Madhubala, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. India’s events are known to us. What occurs in Pakistan, however, is unknown to India.

Indians are unaware of our eating and living habits, she continued. There are few minor variations in how we tie our hair and wear salwar kameez. We are aware of distinction.

“I always wanted to do Bollywood and Broadway, but after change of political situation, bubble burst for us. I am (grateful) for OTT platforms because they have helped us grow professionally,” she continued.

“I am open to working in Indian films, not television. I prefer TV on this side of border. There are so many genres of films I want to work in, so many actors I would like to collaborate with.” She added, “But to start with, Aamir Khan is someone I would like to work with.”
