I don't write constantly; it's two serials and a novel a year.

Here, we have female directors and producers; in fact, one whole channel is run by a woman. Pakistani TV is progressive, and hence, characters that are shown are of today as well.

The intricacies, the problems, the trials and tribulations in relationships inspire me to give words to people's journeys.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.

The Pakistani government under Musharraf is a strong and key player in the global war on terrorism, and their contribution has been second to none.

I think people are sick and tired of bailouts, domestically and internationally.
