ISLAMABAD (PEN) : Actress Hiba Ali shared her regret over turning down a role in the popular drama “Ishq Zahe Naseeb,” a part later played by Yumna Zaidi.
Hiba admitted that she passed on the role, thinking it was just a minor character, especially with Sonya already in the lead and the part being that of Zahid’s mother, which appeared mainly in flashbacks.
Looking back, she realizes it was a significant role that turned out to be a breakthrough for Yumna Zaidi, helping her rise to fame. “It’s unfortunate that such a great opportunity slipped away from me,” Hiba reflected. She mentioned that the offer came to her six or seven years ago.
