She added, “It's definitely a confusing place to be in when one second you are like here and the next second you are kind of just completely let go of. So I can totally understand why Mahira would be nervous to take that step again because it was a tough exit for them.”

She rued that she has never seen any project where two nations are friends and collaborating together unlike, in a reality where collaborations are happening at every level.
Meanwhile, Sanam was recently seen in the six-episode web series ‘Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam ‘which is streaming on ZEE5. The Pakistani crime fiction drama was directed by Meenu Gaur and also stars Rubya Chaudhry, Sarwat Gilani, Eman Suleman, and Faiza Gillani in the lead roles. The show was released in December last year.
