“I don’t. Honestly, I am very truthful person,” she said about whether she relates to her character, Nirma, in the drama.

Nirma thinks she doesn’t belong to the family and class she is born into and deserves better than this, the actress shared about her character.

Iqra also revealed why she opted for this play: “The name attracted me because it sums up the essence of the play. When I heard the story, I said yes without even reading the script. It has a new team and I got the chance to work with ARY after a long time.”
