In the conversation, Debicki, who is joining the cast to essay the lead role of Diana, Princess of Wales in season five, shared her experience of working with the Pakistani superstar, Humayun Saeed, who will also debut in the show as Dr Hasnat Ahmed Khan, a British-Pakistani heart surgeon and a close friend of Princess Diana.
“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.
