Interview

Noor a versatile actress from Pakistani Film Industry shifted to Dubai permanently and has been vanished from the big screen. Does anyone know why she took such a big step?

Hello Noor how are you doing Today?
I am very well thank you.

It's been a long time your fans haven't seen you on screen why is that.What has been keeping you so busy?
Well I got married and was so busy with my marriage life. But I will be back soon. I am planning to start my own production here in Dubai very soon.

You have been settled in Dubai. Does that means you're cutting off from films and dramas?
Ya.. You can say that because I'm not doing movies any more but dramas I might do from Dubai only.

There was a time when in almost every movie you used to be starring and now you busy in your practical life. How is that change to you?
Not too bad actually that was my professional life and now I'm in to real life and trust me both experiences have been great so far.

How many films have you done in your career?
I have done around 32 movies as main heroine.

You have done so many movies which ones do you like the most from them? And why?
Mujhy chand chahiye is my fav movie coz that was my first movie and the way I have looked in that movie no 1 cud picturized me so well after that. I just love that movie.

Any particular co starts you enjoyed working with? And why?
(LOL)..Well I was comfortable with every body but if I have to choose 1 name then it wud be shaan coz again I started my career with him so from the day 1st i was very comfortable with him.

Why is our Lollywood way to behind Bollywood? Can you tell us?
One of the reason is finance and our culture our government is not supporting us and in Pakistan if u see movies our never taken so seriously, and also if u watch our movie we r still stuck in those khait and gujar era and our industry people just does not want to change. And who wanted to change this they don't let them enter the industry that's why I was so tired of those movies I left the industry. I always use to say i will not work in Lacha Kurta. And 1 fine day I was also dancing like Anjuman and then I realized no that's not me I don't want to be a part of this and i decided 2 get married.

Today Lollywood actresses are ready to do anything for Bollywood movies. For examples we take Meera's issue with Imran Hashmi? Why they so much influenced by Bollywood are isn't Lollywood giving them what they want?
Hahaha..i believe there is nothing wrong if our actresses want to work in bollywood coz you see there media is much more stronger then lollywood.and Indian industry is the biggest industry in the whole world rite now they make 500 movies in a year. and u ask any person on earth about bollywood they know about it but lollywood only pakies knows .so there is nothing wrong if our actors wants exposure thru Indian industry which they our not getting from lollywood. And about meera i would say she have exposed her self in lollywood a lot.wht she is dong in India is nothing in front of that(giggles).

Did you get any offers from Bollywood? What did you replied? And why?
yes since I m living in Dubai i got many offers but i refused cos i had a good time in working in lollywood and i have a gd image i dont want to spoil that and since i m married i have no times to go to india and start all over again like a strugler. im better of known as pakistani star.

Do you enjoy working for Dramas or Movies?
I enjoyed working in both u know. I love to experience new things, I have done around 14 add films, and 5 drama's and 32 movie i had enjoyed every min of it. and now i want to become a director. So im comfortable with every part of the industry.

Which has been your memorable work till date? And why?
I have a lots of memorable movements i just cant say one.i had so much fun when I was working since i started my career at the age of 14 so all the memories our so special. i have done so many stunts. I was near to death so many times during the shoot. the best thing i use to enjoy was when i was filming songs.cos i love to dance and i use to create new steps with choreographers that was so much fun. i really miss doing that now but i m enjoying my life now as a wife. And i think i m a good wife
