Actor Amar Khan has earned widespread acclaim from viewers and the television industry for her performance as Zareena in Mitti De Baway. Speaking in a recent interview with Hassan Chaudhry on Something Haute, she shared insights about her character, the positive environment on set, and her experience working alongside the cast. While expressing appreciation for all her fellow actors, she paid special tribute to Wahaj Ali’s performance as Iqbal Channan, widely known as Balla. Amar stated that no actor could have played the role of Iqbal Channan better than Wahaj, highlighting his deep commitment to the character.

Amar revealed that he continued filming in extreme cold while suffering from high fever and severe nasal congestion. To maintain the physical transformation required for the role, he regularly trained at the gym at 1:00 AM after exhausting shooting days. Having observed his career since his early days in the industry, Amar noted that success has not altered his work ethic. She praised his humility and constant efforts to refine his craft, adding that he fully merits the success he has achieved.

In addition, Amar discussed the qualities that define true stardom, emphasizing that humility is essential to long-term success. She cited Mahira Khan as a prime example, describing her as exceptionally kind and welcoming on set despite being one of the country’s prominent figures in entertainment. Amar observed that while top actors are not required to maintain such an approach, Mahira’s decision to remain grounded sets a high standard and contributes to her sustained prominence in the industry.
