Did you know that actress Salma Hassan, famous for her near flawless acting in Urdu dramas, actually speaks English as her mother tongue?
Appearing as a guest on Toh Set Hai with Aadi Adeal Amjad, Salma Hassan shared an interesting detail about her heritage.
“Urdu is not my mother tongue. My mom was part British. My mother tongue is really English. My maternal grandmother was British.”
Honestly, we can’t really tell. Her Urdu diction and accent are quite good.
Salma Hassan has starred in dramas such as Khaani, Ishq Murshid, Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha, Pyar Kay Sadqay, and Fairy Tale. Currently she is starring in Jaan Se Pyara Juni and Bharam.
Salma Hassan earlier appeared in Hasna Mana Hai, hosted by Tabish Hashmi.
The host asked her at one point, “In our society, divorce is a taboo. Naturally, when people get divorced, they don’t see each other, visit each other, or talk to each other. But you and Afzar continued to work together even after the divorce. Doesn’t it feel awkward?”
She replied, “I was told this is haraam and how can you work with your ex-husband. I’m an actress, so I’d work with anyone. And for our daughter’s sake, I want to put our differences aside and have a good relationship with her father.”
