Pakistani actress Ramsha Khan, known for her versatile performances and strong screen presence, recently sat down for an engaging interview with BBC Urdu, where she didn’t shy away from answering some fiery rapid-fire questions.
The Luv Guru star gave fans a rare glimpse into her personal views, dream projects, and the harsh realities of Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
When asked which actor she would love to be paired with on screen, Ramsha candidly revealed, “Shuja Asad”, making it clear that she has her eyes set on working with rising stars she admires. Her choice comes after her dance performance with Shuja at 10th Hum Awards in Houston. Their chemistry was so good that fans couldn’t stop from gushing about it.
Taking a bold stand, Ramsha stated that she would never endorse fairness creams, no matter how attractive the offer is.
In a segment where she was asked to choose between calling Ahad Raza Mir a “good actor” or a “good co-star,” Ramsha kept it short and to the point: “Just a good actor.” The response raised a few eyebrows and sparked curiosity among fans about the dynamic between the two.
When asked to share a tip for surviving in Pakistan’s showbiz, Ramsha dropped a truth bomb: “Trust no one but be friends with everyone.”
Ramsha also shared that she wouldn’t want to switch lives with any other actress, no matter how successful. “I love my struggles and miseries,” she said.
Ramsha didn’t hold back while discussing gender inequality in showbiz. She pointed out that male actors are treated with more leniency and given special treatment on sets.
“There is misogyny in our industry. If something goes wrong on set, male actors are accommodated, but if it’s a female actor, they’re quick to blame her,” she stated. She also criticized the misogynistic nature of TV scripts, highlighting how women are judged more harshly by viewers:
“A male character can cheat or smoke, and no one bats an eye. But if a female character wears sleeveless, suddenly she’s immoral. People think we’re just like the characters we play but we’re so much more than that.”
Ramsha also addressed her recent item number in the film Luv Guru, saying it was director Nadeem Baig who offered her the role.
“He said ‘See if you want to do it?’ I said okay because I had never done something like this before, so I gave it a shot.”
The dance performance received mixed reactions, and Ramsha admitted: “It doesn’t feel good when you hear such things about yourself.”
Beyond the glam, Ramsha revealed a vulnerable side and her struggle with social anxiety. “I get awkward in crowds. I’ve tried to overcome it and become more extroverted, but it just keeps coming back,” she shared. “I don’t want people to think I’m arrogant. I’m just a very anxious person.”
