Talking about her it, Uzma Gillani said, “Ashfaq Ahmed Sahab once told me something because I used to spend a lot of time with them. He said, ‘You have deep love; you are a lobh—a deep lover. Don’t be the woman who is so deeply in love with her children. How will you leave them?’ I was a deep lover/ lobhi. I went to Australia with my kids. It was my biggest sacrifice to leave the media at its peak. I calculated that if I had only ten years, I would meet my kids for just a few days. I wanted to be with them.” Here is the link to the video:

Talking about Tich Button cast and Feroze Khan, Qasim Ali Mureed said, “Besides Feroze Khan, there were many actors who were tough to deal with. There was backlash at the time of the film’s release, after which they backed off from the promotion, which hurt me — it shouldn’t have happened. And then, if you’re not promoting it, why did you pick up the award for Tich Button? Jiger, you could have avoided taking the award, and even if you couldn’t return it, you could have at least mentioned the team you worked with.” Here is the link to the video:
