SD: What has been the most rewarding experience in this field till date?

SD: Any major setbacks you had to face while trying to create a strong base?
Ramsha: Not really, my journey has been very smooth, thankfully.

Ramsha: I really wish to explore thriller or horror genres.
SD: What would you consider as a challenging role and what has been one of the most strengthening to your capabilities?

Ramsha: Absolutely. The best part about our dramas is the fact that we center them around social issues that prevail in societies all over the world.

SD: What has been one of the most rewarding lessons you have been able to gain from the quarantine?
Ramsha: Definitely the fact that we take our health for granted and that we should prioritize it over anything else.
SD: Any parting words for our readers to continue to move forth and not lose focus on your passion?
Ramsha: Yes. It won’t rain forever. When you set out on the path to achieve what you are passionate about, you will have dark days, but what’s important is knowing that after those days, the sun will be shining again.
