Shaista Lodhi will play a politician in upcoming TV serial 'Khan'
Shaista Lodhi is returning with another TV drama and this one is going to be intense.
The popular morning show host will be playing a politician in the upcoming serial Khan.
Talking about the serial, Shaista says, "Khan is an almost feudal type of drama. It will be relatable for the average person because it will remind them of Pakistan's political system."
"The drama doesn't take inspiration from Imran Khan," she also clarifies.
She elaborates about the drama's themes, "[The drama explores] the way revenge is taken in politics, the way seats are [sold] or tickets are given by parties or how sympathy is exploited. An example is Benazir Bhutto's case, sympathy was exploited by her party. You can expect to see similar events in this drama."
This is Shaista's second time acting and she's excited by the challenge. "My character has a vast range. From being a politician's wife to a politician herself. From a childhood lover to a dedicated wife. There are many different shades and that has been a challenge for me to play."
"But it was so much fun," she adds, "because my wardrobe was so different and I'm playing a character older than I am."
