Ushna Shah has always been a prominent Pakistani drama actress. She started her career with Bashar Momin and has since established herself in the industry with several successful projects. Her recent projects were Ghair and Aye Ishq e Junoon.
As her background was showbiz-based, Ushna was constantly exposed to the entertainment world from a young age. She often visited PTV sets with her mother. Her sister, Irsa Ghazal, was also a recognized actress, making talent a family trait.
Despite her success, some critics have raised concerns about her performances, debating whether she has lived up to her past work. In a recent interview with Mohsin Abbas Haider, Ushna shared her thoughts on the professionalism of junior artists in the industry.
She unveiled an issue that continuously impacted production. She pointed out that many actors in minor roles often lack dedication and do not put in enough effort, ultimately affecting a drama’s overall quality.
Ushna expressed her frustration over newcomers prioritizing selfies with lead actors and actresses instead of focusing on their work, which she believed reflected a lack of seriousness towards the profession.
Here’s what she said:
Ushna emphasized that many of these junior artists fail to memorize their lines correctly, leading to declining performance standards. She noted that such shortcomings became evident when the final scenes aired on television.
The carelessness disrupted the flow of a well-executed project. Ushna urged these aspiring actors to take their roles seriously, sharpen their skills, and contribute meaningfully to the industry instead of being distracted by the glamour surrounding senior actors.
Her comments sparked discussions among industry insiders and audiences alike. Some agree that discipline and dedication are crucial for success. In contrast, others debated whether established actors should offer mentorship rather than criticism.
