“I absolutely adored Humayun — he was such a lovely actor, and such a beautiful person,” Debicki said of Saeed.

“You never know how that’s going to feel when you’re playing things like that with an actor. So I was very lucky to have him, and I think he does such a beautiful job,” she added.

It is pertinent to mention here that Humayun Saeed is one of the very first Pakistani artists to have bagged a pivotal role in the Netflix title.
