PMR: Who would be the Pakistani actor and actress you would like to work with? (young and old ones)
Maria: Umm… They’re so many on my wish list and its pretty hard to decide and a name few but for a start there’s Bushra Ansari, Asif raza mir, Mahira khan, Shaan and the list goes on..
PMR: About drama industry they are people like Veena, Meera and Mathira and and some are like Syra and Maahira. How will you differentiate these actresses?
