Karachi: Legendary actress Bushra Ansari says that she was offered the role of actor Akshay Kumar in a Bollywood film.
In an interview, Pakistani showbiz legend actress, singer, comedian and host Bushra Ansari said that some Pakistani actresses are not respected or considered good in India.
Bushra Ansari, avoiding taking names, added that a writer friend in India told that 2-4 actresses from Pakistan went to India to work on their own and they are not respected there, while the same thing happened to some actors. He himself went to India and then came back. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali, Fawad Khan, Ali Zafar, Mahira Khan and Atif Aslam are highly respected.
The senior actress said that a few years ago, she was offered a film by a major Bollywood production house in which she was supposed to play the role of Akshay Kumar’s mother, but the project could not work due to the Pulwama attack.
Bushra Ansari said that in the field of comedy in Pakistan, there is no competitor of late Moin Akhtar and Umar Sharif and there is no personality like them.
