‘Passion inspires me’

by ASJAD NAZIR

PAKISTANI actress Ramsha Khan has been unstoppable ever since her film and television debut in 2017. Since then, she has starred in a number of acclaimed serials that have included Tumhari Marium, Mah-e-Tamaam, Khud Parast and Kaisa Hai Naseeban. With many more projects on the way, the strikingly beautiful star looks set to rise even further.


Eastern Eye caught up with Ramsha Khan to talk about her journey, current project and all things television.

How do you look back on your TV journey?

It has been a nice productive experience so far! But there is a long way to go.

Which of your projects have given you the greatest joy?

I think Kaisa Hai Naseeban definitely. It’s probably because of the Malaysia spell and the amazing story that raised the topic of marital abuse.

You are very much in demand. Tell us about your current project?

I’m working on an untitled project by Bigbang, ARY digital. It’s being directed by Badar Mehmood, who had directed (serials) Cheekh and Balaa.

How does this character compare to others you have played?

I feel what makes her different is the way she interacts with everyone from her younger sister, played by Hania (Aamir), husband, played by Gohar (Rasheed) and love interest, played by Feroze (Khan).

What’s your dream role?

I don’t have a specific character in my head, but anything out of the box makes me excited.

Whom would you love to work with?

I would like to work with actors such as Noman Ejaz, Sania Saeed and Saba Qamar because they are immensely talented. They’re an institute in themselves and I can learn a lot from them.

What do you enjoy watching, and have you binge-watched any shows recently?

I enjoy watching fantasy or thriller shows. Recently, I binge-watched Stranger Things.

What are your big passions away from work?

I love video games. I usually play games on my PS4 or PC.

Who is your TV hero?

Ross from Friends.

What is it that inspires you?

Passion inspires me! When I see someone’s passion for their work, it inspires me and pushes me to work harder.

Young binge drinkers 'more likely to succeed' in later life

Highlights:

  • Research tracked over 3,000 people for 18 years
  • Young adults who binge drank in their late teens and twenties later achieved higher income and education levels

Study suggests social drinking may influence success

A new study from the University of Oslo has suggested that heavy drinking in youth could be linked to greater career success later in life.
Sociology professor Willy Pedersen and his team tracked more than 3,000 Norwegians from the age of 13 to 31, finding that those who engaged in regular binge drinking during their late teens and twenties were more likely to achieve higher levels of education and income than those who drank little or not at all.

Pedersen’s findings are featured in his book The Beauty and Pain of Drugs, which explores both the social and psychological effects of intoxicating substances. “There is a correlation,” Pedersen said. “The statistical findings are quite strong, so clearly significant.”
