the way I have shown my anger onscreen is something
my grandmother used to do in real-life. I have tried to
be her, if you can believe that... I'm sure you will like my
performance!"
Ayesha Khan
Ayesha Khan plays Kubra, Hamza Ali Abbasi’s character's wife and to sum up their relationship, let’s quote
some dialogue from the trailer – Agar main khwab main
bhi kisi larki ko dekh loon to Kubra Cobra ban kar mere
saamne aajati hai (if I look at a girl in my dreams, this
Kubra stands in front of me like a Cobra). Hence another
doomed marriage!
Uzma Khan
She played the wife of Shaan’s character in Waar but
all her scenes with dialogues were cut out. Thankfully
this time around, Uzma Khan gets to speak up in JPNA,
where her character is married to Ahmed Ali Butt’s. Her
husband hasn’t matured like his friends and Uzma (as
Lubna, jis se Pyar nahi lagna) has become the man of
the house in order to continue with the marriage. One
hopes that viewers finally get to hear her own voice because a) in commercials her voice is dubbed and b) she
does have a unique voice. "I didn't know people would
get to hear me in my second film," Uzma says about
her character. "My role is that of a working woman who
depends on her husband but doesn't have time for her
family."
Bushra Ansari
And then there is Bushra Ansari as the rich woman
from America. Her character is a step up from Saima
Chaudhry from the Baraat series and she gets to do everything Saima Chaudhry would have loved to do. For
fans of Baraat, she might be the biggest reason to watch
the film; after all this is the first time she will be appearing on the silver screen alongside so many beautiful
women – and of course, men.
