Rising star Sahar Hashmi recently shared her surprising journey into the highly anticipated drama Man Mast Malang. In a candid interview, she revealed that for over a year, she had been hearing rumours about potentially being cast alongside Danish Taimoor.
Before this, she had been offered a role in the ongoing drama Sher, but that opportunity didn’t pan out.
As a newcomer, Sahar explained how production houses often hesitate to take a chance. “When it’s a new face, people get nervous. They want to ensure a return on their investment.” Big productions like Man Mast Malang require bold decisions, and bringing in fresh talent can feel like a gamble.
Then, fate stepped in. While visiting the 7th Sky Entertainment office for a different project, she had an encounter with director Ali Faizan, who caught her off guard. “He told me, ‘Meri riyaarh tayyar hai’,” she chuckled. He was joking that the role was originally meant for someone else, but destiny had other plans.
What happened next was a twist that perfectly matched the essence of Man Mast Malang.
The Script that Made Her Say “Yummyyyy”
After their meeting, Faizan shot over the script to Sahar. How did she feel about it?
“I read it and thought… uhhh yummyyyyyy!” she exclaimed, her excitement bubbling over. The story grabbed her right away with its rich flavours, twists, turns, and a fiery narrative. This wasn’t just another project; it was something spicy and full of bold surprises.
Watch here:
“I loved it because it was so different,” Sahar pointed out. “There was thrill, drama, excitement… everything.” She felt it wasn’t a typical love story. Instead, it brought complex emotions and a plot that stood out from the other dramas currently airing.
What clinched it for her? The chance to share the screen with Danish Taimoor. “That made it even more exciting,” she confessed. For someone just starting, teaming up with a well-known actor in a high-profile show is a huge step forward in her career.
Man Mast Malang: A Controversial Choice
It’s fair to say that the drama has gotten attention for all the wrong reasons. From love that is forced, blackmailed and story that has thrown consent out of the window, there is quite nothing like Man Mast Malang on screens right now.
While the actors might find the script “yummy,” one thing that is long forgotten is the impact they have on the wider audience. As cases like those of Sana Yousuf’s come out in the open, do dramas like Man Mast Malang hold no accountability?
